Re: Job 5821-66
20th St. N.W. Northgate 6th
Gentlemen:
On November 1, 1965, the matter of right-of-way'for a proposed 20th Street
N. W. abutting Northgate 6th Addition was referred back to the Public Works
Committee for further consideration and report.
We have reviewed the matter, conferred with the City Attorney and City
Engineer and recommend the following:
1. The owners of the 12 tracts abutting 20th St. N.W. adjacent to
the Northgate Development be requested to dedicate 33 feet along
their north boundary for the south half .of the 20th Street
right-of-way.

2. That the offer of Hutchinson & Sauer made on December 1, 1965 to
pay the entire cost of grading and surfacing 20th St. N. W.
abutting the Northgate Development and the above 12 tracts be
accepted, if the south half of the right-of-way is provided as
requested in (1) above.
This would relieve the 12 tracts from their normal share of this
street expense.
3. That the costs of sewer and water mains and services in 20th St.
N. W. be assessed equitably to the benefitting properties on
both sides of 20th Street as they are annexed.
4. That the proposed annexation of the 11 tracts presently outside
the City limits be tabled until October 1, 1966.
5. We further recommend that if the right-of-way for the south of
20th Street is not dedicated by the property owners as requested
in item one above, the City proceed with annexation of these
tracts as proposed, acquisition of the right-of-way by Eminent
