C. A. Armstrong, City Engineer, showed -on a map where the proposed highway would go. He explained that starting at llth Avenue and 5th Street Northwest the widening will' tape place on the north side of 5th Street,`it will take one row of lots on the north side of 5th Street from llth Avenue to 8th Avenue Northwest, then it will coritinue straight approximately on new location from-8th to 6th Avenue and will take all the houses within approximately 100 feet south of the Railroad to 6th Avenue, all the houses approximately 100 feet south of Railroad right of way from 6th to 4th Avenue; we will widen the curb on 3rd and 4th Avenue but *i11 not take any additional right of way;.and,also on 2nd Street from 4th Avenue West to 2nd Avenue East, we will not take any additional right of way and will not widen the curb; the only new right of way will be west of 43rd Avenue. He then asked for questions from the audience. The following people were then heard: 0 Mr. Helmer Jorgenson of 858 - 5th St. N.W. aksed if any of his lot would be taken. Mr. Armstrong answered that there would be no property on the south side between 8th and 9th Avenue taken, no right of way would'be taken here. MrIa Donald C. Scharlow of 407 - 4th Street N.W. said he understood their whole apartment house would be taken and asked how they would be reimbursed for this. Mr. Armstrong answered that this was one of the places that the right of way would be taken in its entirety, the whole building and lot would have to be taken; the Council would initiate condemnation proceedings and the appraisors appointed by the Council would submit a price, if not satisfactory either party can -appeal, he thought_it would be the -true value of the property. Opal J. Stellmacher of 318 - 3rd Avenue N.W. inquired if they widened the street if the property owner would pay for the widening and also how wide 3rd Avenue would be. Mr. Armstrong said that the property owners pay the entire cost of the curb and part of the roadway; he estimated the cost would be -about $6.00-$7.00 per front foot; 3rd Avenue is now about 27 feet wide and after widening it it would he about,40 feet wide. Lester Stellmacher of 319 - 3rd Avenue N.W. inquired if on the west side of 3rd Avenue if there. would be room enough between his -property and Railroad or if his property would be damaged. Mr. Armstrong said that they might have to take a .small triangle off his front yard which would be 15 feet from the Northeast corner west and run about 30 feet south; he did not think moving the sidewalk '..hbackoto this point and have the curb out would damage this property to any extent. Bertil G. Peterson of 211 - 2nd Street N. W. aked what would happen to the parking on 2nd Street. Mr. Armstrong said parking would probably have to be prohibited on 2nd Street but did know when that would be. Mr. Everett Drews of 317 - 4th Avenue N.W. asked if their sidewalk would have to be moved. Mr. Armstrong said the sidewalk would be moved back to the property line, about 2'8" closer to -the house, but there will be no property taken from this property. Wm. Ryan representing the W. L. Ryan -Beverage Company located at the corner of llth Avenue and 5th Street inquired how close the right of way would come to their building and would they have access out�of the south side of the building. Mr. Armstrong said the new right of way would be right up against the building, the curb will be about<10 feet south of your building, the 10 feet between the curb and your building will be boulevard and sidewalk; as to access out of the south side of the building that will have to be taken up in the condemnation and will be part of the right of way acquisition. 1 U 1 1 0 1 0 Record of Official Proceedings. of the:. Common Council of the City of Rochester, ..Minn., February 15, 1960 43 am The man from 426 - 6th Avenue N.

Mr. Armstrong said the entire lot and house is what they propose to take and if they start condemnation next month and complete the condemnation proceedings by the first of September and the Council approves the awards as presented then you would probably have until next spring to move. e-1 Mr. John Matzke of 212 - 4th Avenue N.W. inquired what they were going to do about the property owners on the East side of 4th Avenue where they have such narrow boulevards. Mr. Armstrong said they did not have the details on 4th Avenue exactly worked out, as to how wide it would be, we would like to have it 44 feet but may have to cut it down to 40 feet. M.rs. Sadie Spargen of 423 - 4th Street N.W. inquired how much of her house would be taken. Mr. Armstrong said her house was a borderline case, the property right of way would just nip the Northeast corner of her house, what effect'it will have I can not say, it is possible that someone might want to keep that house. and ,live in it. • Mrs. Irene Carlson of 1001 - 5th Street N: W. inquired about her house. Mr. Armstrong.stated that the right of way cuts right through the basement of her a house. Jesse Bowe of 308 - 3rd Avenue N.W. inquired if equal parts would be taken on both sides of 3rd Avenue so that they can save their trees. Mr. Armstrong said it would be equal on 3rd Avenue.

Mr. Harold Schaeferof 324 - 4th Avenue N.W. said their garage'faces on 4th Street and inquired if they can back out or will they back right into the right of way.

Mr. Edwin Klee of 509 - 9th Avenue N.W. inquired how much it would take of his lot. Mr. Armstrong said that his property was not on the chart, we•will not take any of your lot but all of the lot south of you. 9th Avenue will be closed off from main East and West thoroughfare but there will be a service drive running from 9th to 8th here you.get on the main highway. There was no one else that wished to be.heard..

W&�are sure your members must also have been contacted and perhaps have taken steps_to'remedy the situation.

While it is.true-that two -members have set up a business service using their knowledge and experience of extinguishing equipment,.we do not believe 'such work as they do could in any way be in conflict with their duties as firemen. Our inquiry discloses that they do not have access to any records in the department maintained by the inspection bureau regarding equipment. The Chief keeps such information under lock and key in his office. We were told by customers of this service that it is the first time such complete and satisfactory work has been available locally. While we do not wish to go on record approving any and all types of employment for civil service employees of the city, we will always be willing to examine any case reported and use our office, so far as possible, to prevent any employee from taking unfair advantage or placing himself in a compromising position in regard to the performance of his duties.
