MINUTES OF SPECIAL MEETING WITH PLANNING COMMISSION
COMMITTEE HELD WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 18, 1971
Those present at the meeting were Mr. Pat Wilson, Mr. Arland Siebrecht
of the Planning Commission, City Engineer John Davidson, and the property
owners, Mr. Paul Meiers, Mrs. Mavis Nelson, Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Held,
Mr. and Mrs. Allan Trapp, Mr. Ken Trapp, and Mr. Duane Groth representing
Star Realty Company or Tri-County Insurance Agency.
We discussed the limited access proposed by the State Highway Department
which has been complied with in approving ail subdivisions north and south
of T. ti. 55. The recommended offset access to Pine Street between 9th and
10th Streets by the State Traffic Engineer and County Traffic Engineer is to
discourage particularly student traffic in the future from accessing straight
east in either 9thor 10th street. Also the fact that Mr. Held's garage was
very close to 10th Street and Mr. Held actually owned property which caused
10th Street to be a dead-end street as platted, the fact that the house constructed
at the end of 9th Street would prevent access to 9th, it was then a question of
one of two vacant lots between 9th and 10th, either that held by Mr. Dennis Held
or that owned by Mr. Allan Trapp to the north. It would fit in best with Star
Realty's proposals for the area to have that street access as far south adjacent
to the held property, as possible.
A~ter tying down the road systems, the engineer stated that he would have need
descriptions made up, send letters out to the property owners involved so that
they could have appraisals made of their property and offer the City a selling
price prior to the City taking action through its State-Aid right-of-way funding
to acquire the property in question. The engineer suggested that the right-of-
way be purchased and tied down as soon as possible so that any exchange of
land or land development in the area would be built or planned around the road
systems.
The meeting convened at 8:00 P.M. and ended at approximately 9:30 P.M.
John Davidson, City Engineer
