The following recommendation of the Public Works Committee was read:
"Honorable Mayor & Common Council
City of Rochester, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
We have reviewed and considered the matter of the proposed widening and paving
on 4th Ave. S. W. from 5th St. to 6tti St. S.W. referred to this Committee on April
16th.
After viewing the site and'weighing the objections and interests of the
property owners with the public interests, we recommend that the roadway width be
constructed at 40 feet (20 feet each side of the centerline of the right-of-way)
as previously proposed, but that the sidewalk on the east side of 4th Ave. S. W.
from 5th to 6th St. be constructed between 22.5 and 27.83 feet east of the center
line of the right of way instead of 25.5 and 30.83 feet east of the center line
as previously proposed and approved.
The effect of this change is to place the new sidewalk 3 feet farther.west
than previously proposed.
This sidewalk location is recommended for the current.construction project
and is not intended to relinquish or vacate the public's rights to the full width
of the dedicated right of way for any future sidewalk widening or reconstruction
that may be considered adviseable.
We request that the Council approve this recommendation or specify other
definite instructions so that the construction plans can proceed.
Respectfully,
/s Harold DeVries, Chairman
/s Wallace Thomas
/s David Leonard"
Mr. Don Franke, Attorney representing the abutting property owners, was again present and said
they would like to have their objections renewed, that they felt some compromise could be made
whereby the property owners on the east side of the Avenue would be retain at least a part of
their front yard. Mrs. Elmer Hagen of 502 - 4th Avenue S. W. was again present and again stated
that if the avenue were widened as proposed it would leave her no front -yard at all. A motion was
made by DeVries, second by Thomas that the recommendation be approved as read; upon.roll call
DeVries, Leonard and Thomas voting "aye" and Bergstedt, Morris, Wilson and Tingley voting "no",
President Tingley declared the motion lost and the recommendation not adopted. Alderman DeVries
Chairman of the Public Works Committee, stated that his committee had gone over this many times
and had come up with two different recommendations that had been turned down by the Council and
suggested that perhaps some other committee or Alderman could come up with some recommendation
that could be approved. C. A. Armstrong, City Engineer, stated that he thought that constructing
anything less than a 40 foot roadway would^not be economically justified and felt if the money
r
was spent in widening and building this street it should be built according to the plans. The
Mayor, members of the Council, City Engineer and property owners were again to meet at the corner
of 4th Avenue,and 5th Street S. W. on Tuesday, May 8th at 4:30 P. M. to again review this and try
to come up with a recommendation.
