Hearing on Replatting and W~dening 3rd Street, 40th to 41st Extended.
This hearing was held in conjunction with Art Porter's request for
rezoning his property at 40th and 3rd Street to R-4 multiple
dwelling for a 40-unit condominum apartment complex.
The City Manager presented several proposals for consideration
on the 3rd Street roadway. These included:
p. 240
1. Consideration of possible widening of 3rd Street to 50'
right-of-way going north from 40th to a point approximately
even with 41st Avenue. The cost of this proposal would be $8,600 or
$7.20 per assessable front foot for land acquisition, street
platting and opening.
2. The second possibility was a proposal to consider replatting
3rd Street to 50I right-of-way all the way from 40th to
42nd Avenue which would mean reacquiring right-of-way that
was vacated, the cost to be $18,540, assessed at $7.35 per
front foot.
3. The last proposal would be the possibility of putting a
roadway through that would reach from 41st and 2nd Street
all the way to the culdesac locationand proceed southward to
the intersection of 40th and 3rd Street where it presently
exists. The cost of this is more expensive because more
land would have to be acquired. The project would be just
under $20,000 or about $8.60 per front foot to plat it out
and open the street with base material.
None of these proposals included any of the costs involved in
putting in public utilities, such as sanitary sewer at $12,
watermain extensions at $9, curb and gutter at $6, and blacktopping
at $3.50. These would be additional costs.
Howard Jenson and Bill Marshall, representing School District #13
were present. Mr. Jenson said the school site proposal which the
Council has been concerned about, just ~rth of this area, is in
a "holing pattern". The population is decreasing, and whether or
not Oakwood school would be replaced is something that the
School Board must determine.
Mr. Marshall presented figures on population and reported the
last action the School Board took on this school proposal.
After a lengthy discussion, the Council determined a 60' right-of-
way was in order. The City Attorney was instructed to draft
the appropriate resolution dedicating the 60' street r~ght-of-way
and acquiring the land within the right-cl:-way.
Recess was called at lO:15 p.m.
The meeting reconvened at 10:35 p.m.

3rd Street N.E. from 4Oth Avenue N.E. to a point 560' north of
4Oth Avenue N.E.

Department reviewed the situation and suggested a main be installed
across the alley up to Johnson Street to connect into the south
end of the private lines which will give the existing homes
better pressure and supply and will allow Mr. Pierce to make a
short run connection to the new line. It was recommended to put
in a 4" or 6" cast iron pipe line from the existing main in the
alley up to Johnson Street at which point it will be connected
to the private line serving the homes that are presently
connected.
Motion by Heintz, seconded by Norberg that the ~ity Manager be
authorized to advertise for a hearing at the next regular
