The following recommendation of the Public Works Committee was read:
"Honorable Mayor & Common Council
City of Rochester, Minnesota
Re; Walkway in Kellogg Hills
Area to Jefferson School
Area
Gentlemen:
This committee has conferred with Mr. Payne, Dr. Martin, and Dr. Verby regarding
the implementation of oru recommendation of September 6th, toward securing right-
of-way for the proposed walkway from 20th Street N. E. down the hill to 7k Avenue
at the lower end of Northwood Drive.
We find that it is not possible to secure the right-of-way for the walkway
recommended in item 1 and 2 in the September 6th recommendation.
We therefore recommend that the September 6th Recommendation be rescinded
and the following revised program be approved, which is shown on the
accompanying sketch and outlined as follows:
1. The City':- will abandaon the previous plan to establish a walkway along
the west line of Dr. Martin's property from 20th Street to Dr. Verby's driveway.
Inreplacement of the above walk, the City will acquire an easement along the
west line of Dr. Verby's property for a temporary walkway (until a sidewalk
on 6th Avenue N. E. in Kellogg Hills Subdivision is constructed).
2. The City will establish an construct a walkway (with steps) in the 33 foot
easement along the east line of Kellogg Hills Subdivision down the hill to
A Avenue.
3. Along Northwood Drive, the City will favor and tentatively approve a plat
of Northwood Third Subdivision as shown on the accompanying sketch and consist-
ing of the following items:
(a) Plat and improve the existing Northwood Drive as a street from
the foot of the hill as far north as the south line of -Dr. Martin's
tract, with a turn around area constructed at the north end. A
sidewalk would be constructed along this street.. This street would
provide access only to the Verby tract, the west portion of the
Martin tract, and one other lot on the west side of the street.
This street expense would be borne by the latter lot. The
sidewalk would be constructed at public expense.
(b) Establish and construct a walkway between the north end of the
above street and Sierra Lane at public expense.
4. (Same as previous recommendation)
In compensation to land owners for transferring Northwood Drive to the City,
the City will extend the sanitary sewer main in Northwood Drive from its
present terminus, northerlyabout 600' to serve Paine, Martin and Verby's
properties.
5. (same as previous recommendation)
The City will complete the grading and surfacing of the south end of Sierra
Lane, and assess Paine, Martin, and Greene for the construction of the west portion
of the street. The roadway on this section will be only 24 feet wide, and the
right-of-way required from Paine, Martin and Greene will be 16' in width.
The Paine, Martin and Greene properties are also subject to assessments for
storm sewer and water main previously installed in the south section of Sierra
Lane.
Respectfully,
PUBLIC WORKS /s Larry McCaleb, Chairman
/s U. J. Eichten
COMMITTEE /s Vincent Folkert."
