was City Engineer Ahlvers.
Also present
Under unfinished business, the application of Mr. Joe C. Janish, for the
vacation of First Street from Penn Street east to the City limits, was
again brought up for consideration.
According to recent survey, completed by Mr. John U. Wright licensed
engineer, 'it appears that First Street as suc~, terminates at Penn Street
and does not continue on to the easterly Ci~y limits as shown on most
City maps.
The Flrst Street re1'ered to in Mr. Janish's application is rather more
like an alley, some twenty-nine feet in width extanding easterly from
Penn Street and terminating at the City limits where it abuts private
property. Inasmuch as Mr. Janish is the owner of all property both
north and south of this alleyway and the probable impossibility of its
extension to the east, it was the unanimous decision of the Planning
Commission that the application be approved with the City reserving the
right-of-way for utilities.
The petition of Mr. Harry Lydiard and others requesting the Planning
Commission to recommend to the City Council the acquisition of the
Milwaukee Railroad right-of-way from "Elt Street to the westerly City
limits was again taken up for consideration. It was the unanimous
decision 01' the Planning Commission that the western part of the City
can be adequately served by the present dedicated streets when they are
improged and that further expense for street rights-of-way would not
be justi1'ied. It is further recommended to the City Council that a
certain portion of this right-or-way from ~E" Street to the vicinity of
5th or 6th and "L" or 11M" Streets be acquired in order to improve the
"Iu Street Hill Road and further tha-c the City examine all streets and
alleys that may have been vacated to the Mil~aukee Railroad in the West
End Area in order that these streets and alleys may be re-acquired.
The Commission approved the suggested connection 01' 8th Street with
10th Street in the vicinity of "L" and "H" Streets as submitted by the
special committee.
Gave considerable time to the study of the engineers report on the
pollution controll project as proposed for our City.
No further business appearing, the meeting adjourned at 10:15 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
