Mr.. Bailey on when the ROW for the street was dedicated. He was told
1960 part';of the area had 50' ROW and in.1970 the northern part of
25th Avenue ( ROW) was dedicated. Roger Plumb, Public Services
Director explained the assessment procedure for the property owners
involved with building the street. Alderman Solinger asked how wide

to pay for the street and not be able to use it. He also stated that

to keep them. They also object to the potential traffic .that would

of land on the north.side of the potential street. He also stated thz
traffic could be a problem. Wishing to be heard was Lloyd Johnson of
Metro Development. They are the developers of the project and stated
that the area could have been considered for R-3 and they would have
been able to put up homes with more density. They stayed in R-1
and have reduced the density. He stated that the traffic problem
should not occur because of the location of 25th Avenue ..People
would not use it for a cut between streets... He stated that.they
abided by everything the Council directed them to do and would
urge the Council to approve the requested 9.9% increased floor
space. Having no one else present that wished to be heard, President
