Claude H. McQuillan, Mayor and the Common Council of Rochester Gentlemen: Re: Proposed Storm Sewer Easement alignment from 14th St. N. E. to Silver Lake. At a Park Board meeting held on July llth, we reviewed the plan furnished Mr. Van Hook by the engineer's department, in which you proposed to run a tile from 14th St. to Silver Lake. The south 220 feet of this line is across 'Park property. According to the plan;, the work will entail the rebuilding of the roadway, the resoding of the trench area, and the building of an outlet structure at the lake edge. With these things being done in a satisfactory manner under the Engineer's direction, and if it is the.most practical solution to the, surface water problem of that area, although we do not like outlet structures to dot the lack shore, we see no other alternative, and feel that we must sacrifice that much toward the improvement program. Consequently we offer no objection to the going across the park, but do hope that the work can be scheduled to be done after November lst so as not to deprive park visitors the use of that drive during the early fall season.

Although we know from conversations and newspaper articles that, the property recently acquired from the Oakwood Cem®tery Association is to be used for right-of-way for 7th St. N. E. and the telauce for parks, we feel that it would be better if we had an official communi- cation from the Common Council for our files, stating that this property. was acquired for park purposes. We should also appreciate very much having a legal description of the property coming under park jurisdiction for our files. Respectfully submitted, BOARD OF PARK COMMISSIONERS By A. J.

Claude H. McQuillan, Mayor and the Common Council of Rochester Gentle'>men: - Re : Private Property at 850, 902 and 9o4 7th , St, N. E. At' a Park Board meeting held on July llth, we fully considered the matter of how to develop the property south of 7th St..N. E. - A0 00W. - recently acquired from the Cemetery Association. After discussion and viewing of tentative plans, we are fully convinced that to get the maximum use out of that area in conjunction with the playground area' east of the private property, that .we must havela minimum of 200 feet off of the south portion of those properties, lying between the recently acquired property and our playground area. Knowing that the • street development program will require so much off of the north -side of these that these houses have properties will to be moved, we feel that it is advisable that all of the property be acquired for public us e. A1'so we feel that this small isle of houses, completely surrounded by public property, is not.practical to service, and certainly will detract greatly from the looks of the park area. So, -again, on that -basis, we ask that you acquire these properties in their entirety, turning over the portion not needed for street right=of-way to the Park Department for Park purposes.

The street construction would require only the north 34 feet of the,,private property to be acquired, but would necessitate the. moving of 2 residences, 2 garages, and would leave the 3rd residence only 20 feet from the south right-of-way line of 7th Street.
