Shales, Mayor Presented: August 12, 1965 Passed: August 12, 1965 Vote: Y eas 5 Nays 0 Recorded: August 12, 1965 Published: August 12, 1965 Attest: Myrtle E. Spiegler, City Clerk The North side of Orange Street, between Wilcox Avenue and Marguerite Street, had been proposed for a modification for curb sidewalks. Some of these properties run through to Oak Street, and Walter Segerson, 831 Oak Street, Otto Rebenstorf, 835 Oak Street, and residents with properties facing Orange Street were present to speak for various solutions to their problems. It was determined that the Council would visit this area before guidelines for defer- rals are developed. Elmer Kohwalter, 117 N. Alfred Avenue, had installed property line sidewalks five years ago when his residence was built, and planted two maple trees, which would be damaged by curb sidewalks. He wanted a jog in the sidewalk at his residence if curb sidewalks are allowed elsewhere. Mr. Brunton recom- mended that the Council also visit this location, before a decision is reached on sidewalk location for remaining properties. Reports Received and Ordered Filed The City Manager reviewed departmental reports, and Councilman Wilson made a motion, seconded by Councilman Santanni to accept the reports and to order them filed. Yeas: Councilmen Alft, Barber, Santanni, Wilson, and Mayor Shales. Nays: None.
