Land - absent. Mayor Nawrocki arrived several minutes late. Councilman Heintz said this meeting was specifically called to consider the platting and possible surfacing of a public alley including drainage facility from 49th to 50th Averue, between Jackson and Central. The hearing came about after concern was expressed on the drainage situation as development of the commercial side on Central occurred. Nodces were sent out to all property owners on both sides of the proposed location. The Engineering Department presented four alternatives for consideration including: Plat and construct a standard alley in the normal manner placing the alley on the center line with 1/2 the alley on each property on the east and west sides of the back property line. Install a standard alley completely on the commercial or east side of the back property line. o Install curb and gutter section with 8' concrete slab extending out from the edge of the gutter section. o Install curb and gutter section only with narrow strip of blacktop to protect the gutter face and prevent washouts under curb and gutter sections. Cost estimates were given on the alternates under consideration. Property owners present indicated their desire for the drainage structure, but only the representative of Red Barn was in favor of alley construction. A petition was presented signed by owners along Jackson Street in opposition to the alley. A lengthy discussion was held to determine who would benefit from the drainage structure for assessment purposes and the suggestion was made that the cost be split on a 60-40 basis, 60 commercial and 40 residential. Motion by Norberg, that the City Manager be authorized to proceed with the project, that the recommendation for the assessment at the time of the assessment hearing be 60-40. Mayor Nawrocki stepped down from the chair to second the motion. Roi 1 Cal I: Norberg, Connor, Nawrocki - Ayes. Heintz - Nay. Councilman Heintz said he would go along with the improvement if the cost figure were changed but he could not see the benefit split to the residential at 40-60. p. 196 The point was brought up that the resolution ordering the improvement required a 4/5 vote of the Council. The resolution was not read at this time. Motion by Norberg, seconded by Connor to adjourn at 9:40 p.m. Roll Call - All Ayes. Secretary to the Council Bruce G. Nawrocki, Mayor
