REPORT ON R/W OBTAINED TO DATE ON 9!b AVENUE
City Engineer Leif Larson reported on the number and percentage of easements obtained to
date for the proposed 90 Avenue paving project. It totaled 34% for both north and
south of Main on 9n. After discussion on the right-of-way needed, a motion was made
by Councilman Bennett, secondsdc',by Councilman Slye that since the required R/W will be
the same regardless of the final width of the street, the city should proceed with
acquisition. Councilman Kincaid felt that the city should wait until December as stated
at a previous council meeting, but the councilmen discussed the possibility of pro-
ceeding with acquisition in the area from the cemetary south to the county line for
the future holding lanes, since there did not seem to be any controversy over this.
Councilman Bennett then suggested amending his wttion to state acquisition from the
cemetary south to the county line only.; More council discussion followed, and Gordon
Dowrey, representing the signers of the original petition against 9!h being widened to
arterila standards, stated that he would not argue with a 60' R/W south of Main, but
did wish that the city would ask for a variance in the needed R/W as well as for the
reclassification of 9n More discussion, and councilman Bennett then withdrew his
motion; Slye his second, and no further action was taken.

The proposed ordinance to create a new section in the traffic code, prohibiting
overnight parking of certain types of vehicles in residential areas, was the subject
of council discussion. Councilman Slye felt the proposed ordinance should be posted
in residential areas, but councilmen Nelson and Kincaid thought it could be treated
similar to the dog leash ordinance, to be used as a tool following complaints, to
issue first a warning, then a citation. Mayor Harrison agreed that it would provide
the city with a tool for handling nuisance parking. Following some discussion, a motion
was made by Councilman Bennett, seconded by Councilman Kincaid that proposed Ordinance
#1450 be passed. Keith LaBelle,. in the audience, asked council for a background of the
reasons for this ordinance, and it was explained to him that the city had received
numerous complaints about all-night parking of vans, roofing frucks, etc. in residential
areas. A roll call vote was taken on the motion, and it carried with Councilmen Bennett,
Nelson, Kincaid and Haines voting in favor; Tuson, Slye and Nordquist against.
