properties along the street. The Total Curb and Gutter Estimate was once again

he would like to dedicate 69.3 feet of his frontage to the Village for the turn-

Block 6, stated his true frontage is only 55 feet, although part of the former
road to the North has been dedicated by the Village.

assessment for the frontage he has acquired by street vacation as he feels it
is not the plan to improve the street back to the right-of-way. I&. Erickson,

(that for safe travel the Village must either move the hydrant or straighten out

this property be used as the site for an ornamental light. Upon being notified
that the cost of ornamental street lights is assessable to benefited properties
Mr. Lace stated he would have to consult with other property owners before
making any definite commitment as to the light. No action taken on offer of
property dedication. Manager Hyde recommended that, should the Council wish to accept the dedication it be for "street" rather than for "park" purposes.
There were no oral objections to the proposed improvement, and no written
objections had been received prior thereto. (See Resolution of later in the
meeting, ordering improvement)* - Also, additional inquiry as to curb and gutter.

the audience as to whether this Estimate includes Blacktop Curb and Gutter as
per petition, and was informed that 300 lineal feet dof Blacktop Curb has been
included to prevent wash. Discussion was had as to advantages of concrete curb
and gutter over the blacktop type; with Village Engineer advising audience that
the blacktop curb and gutter will disintegrate in time, where it has been hit
by the snow plow and other heavy vehicles; that, should concrete curb and gutter
be constructed, this work should be done before the street is blacktopped; that
construction of concrete curb and gutter will decrease the cost of blacktopping
slightly because it will be necessary to blacktop only a 27-foot width rather
than a 30-foot width. An inquiry was made from the audience as to whether
a petition for concrete curb and gutter, now, will delay the blacktopping.
Hyde informed the audience that, should they submit such a petition tomorrow,
it is.possible that the Village could conduct a Public Hearing, and take bids
on the improvement, all on August 12, in which case the blacktopping project
would not be delayed.
Blacktopping project until next regular me&ting to give residents opportunity
to submit petition for concrete curb and gutter, and scheduling Public Haaring
on curb and gutter project for August 12, contingent upon receipt of petition
for same, was seconded by Tupa and carried.

Gebo stated that, at the time the petition was filed it was contemplated that

afraid that heavy construction trucks will damage the blacktop. hlr. C.J. Hallman
asked that investigation be made to see if Carl M. Hansen could be held responsible
for tiling the drainage ditch between Westwood Court and Parkwood Road. Mr. Gebo
reported that property owners had agreed among themselves that assessment should

Council postpone action on project pending further direction from the property
owners.

the street, starting at 60th Street and going to Porter Lane; that this was the
plan approved when the plat was approved, and it will not be changed. Asked if
the curb will be satisfactory at this grade, Mr. Zikan replied affirmatively.
explained that the street grades had been established at the time the property was
platted; that, because underground utilities are now in, it is almost impossible
to change Yne grade to any extent; that eventually this area may require a storm
sewer.
