President Tingley called the meeting to order at 7:30 o'lcock P.'M., the following members being present: President Tingley, Aldermen Bergstedt, DeVries, Leonard, Morris, Thomas. Absent: Alderman Wilson. Upon motion by Bergstedt, second by Thomas, and all present voting in favor thereof,. the minutes of the meeting of January 7, 1963 were approved. , President Tingley stated this as being the time and place set for hearings on the following projects: Hearing on repaving and widening of 3rd Avenue Southeast from 4th Street -Southeast to 12th Street Southeast. C. A. Armstrong, City Engineer, then gave the following information: Information Hearing is on the proposed construction by City Engineer to widen the roadway to 44 .feet (curb to curb width). The present curb -to -curb widths are: 40 feet from 4th St. to 5th St. S.E.; and 30 feet from 5th St. to 12th St. S.E. The proposed construction is concrete curb and gutter, concrete pavement, and concrete sidewalk. This will require removal of all boulevard trees. It will also require relocation and reconstruction of all sidewalks which are 2'-8" from the property line. All sidewalk except a few which have been rebuilt recently, are 2'-8" from the property line. The typical section proposed is a 44 foot roadway, 5 foot boulevard area, and 5'-4" wide sidewalk which will be within 8" from the property line. The property line is 33 feet from the centerline of the right-of-way. The 40' curb and gutter between 4th and 5th Street was constructed in 1951 but the roadway was not repaved at that time. The 44' width is recommended to accomodate traffic needs in this block, despite the relatively recent construction of this curb and gutter. The estimated assessments to property owners, according to Street Improvement Assessment Policy would be as follows: Commercial and Residential Multiple Dwelling Property Property Between 5th St. and 12th St. S.E. Curb and Gutter and Paving 6.00 per lin.ft. 9.00 per lin. ft.' plus cost of replacing condemned sidewalk 2.75 per lin.ft. 2.75 per lin. ft. Between 4th St. and 5th St. S. E. Paving only 3.00 per lin. ft. 6.00 per lin. ft. plus cost of replacing condemned sidewalk 2.75 per lin. ft. 2.75 per lin.ft. Note: Property Owners would be assessed for sidewalk construction only where the present condition of the sidewalk is hazardous, and would require replacement because of its condition. The cost per linear foot of the proposed construction is about $60. The above assessment.to abutting property will provide roughly 17% of the cost of the project or $50,000. $150,000 will be from the 1957 Street Improvement Bond Issue, and $70,000 from the 1963 State Aid Allocation, making up the total project cost of $270,000.
