Village Engineer Wegner gave a brief block-to-block description of the improvements,
stating the Village hopes to get some relief for property owners in those cases where
retaining walls will be necessary; also, that in the case where driveways are already
paved, and a change in grade makes replacement necessary, there will be no assessment.
Mr. John Vlahos, 5440 Xerxes, asked concerning assessment for steps'. He was
informed that if steps are on his opm property and a change in grade necessitates new
steps there will be no assessment, but that if steps are on street property (outside
property line) there will be an assessment for replacement, Mr, V-tahos also stated
he would prefer sidewalk next to curb line, rather than having boulevard as planned,
Mr, Wegner told the audience this could be done, but that where sidewalk is next to
curb, snow must be olowed onto the sidewalk, which makes for dissatisfaction among
property owners ,
Mr, Fred Souba, 5720 Xerxes Avenue, presented a petition signed by 51 persons
living on Xerxes Avenue between 14.56th Street and 14.62nd Street, in strenuous objection

was Mr. Harry Able Johnson, who stated he owns property on both sides of Xerxes
Avenue that it is in the public interest to install the walks, both as a safety
measure for the children, and as a matter of uniformity inasmuch as there will be

before work is started, that he will probably have about 30 days. At a question
from the owner at 5604 Xerxes as to whether it would be cheaper for property

that effluent was draining into Mirror Lakes, and that there were other
evidences of contamination in the area, Attorney Charles Spring, who stated

Mr, Nicolas,Delebo, 5605 Warden Avenue, who stated he manages a car wash in

Mr, Enroth asked Mr. William Sharpe, 4623 Browndale Avenue, who is in the car
wash equipment business and also operates car washes, to state his opinion about
help for the business, Mr. Sharpe stated that in some of the suburban area,
high school principals are contacted, and that high school and college studGnts
make up the biggest percentage of the employees; that the people he hires are
no different than those hiped fop other general unskilled work; that suburban
establishments do not have the volume of work nor the pressure experienced by the
car washes in the ~OOD, Mr, Enroth told Council he values his reputation too
highly to conduct a shoddy operation, that if the car wash cannot be pun right
he will close it; and Mr. Bredesen added he feels that Mr. Enroth's association
lessens some of the problem, but that the problem does exist,

OF TRIANGLE "FOR COMMERCIAL USES OF THE KIND WHICH BOULD NOT UNDULY INCREASE THE
TRAFFIC SURROUNDING IT", Attornev Josiah E, Brill. remesenting the Misses Katherine , -
and Mary Elizabeth Pearce, supported his letter daGed kn3.l. 4, 1963, which:
1. Called Council's attention to the Supreme Court's action "directing
the district court to insure compliance with its decision of April 11,
1960, as amended September 28, 1960, and October 24, 1960, wherein it
determined that plaintiffs were entitled to use their upper parcel for
community store purposes as defined in defendantIs zoning ordinances of
July 24, 1959, the date of pla'intiff's petitions for such classification;
and wherein it determined that plaintiffs were entitled to use their
triangular parcel for commercial uses of the kind which would not unduly
increase the traffic surrounding it; and that the district court retain
jurisdictihn herein for all such purposes:l(
2, Informed Council that, in his opinion, the Court's decision invalidates
the adoption of the proposals recommended by Planning Director Hite for
enactment of changes in the community store district section of the
zoning ordinance, relative to setbacks and off-street parking.
3. Suggested that if the Council is going to acquire the triangle (in
accordance with the Planning Commission's recommendations) it take this
action immediately, and, in the meantime comply with the Court's order
respecting the rezoning of the triangle, in order that in condemnation
proceedings the value of the property be made more definite,
Attorney Schwartzbauer agreed with. Mr, Brill that there is a need for the Village
Council to take action promptly, at least on the triangle, but that the Council should
not decide whether to condemn until after the triangle is rezoned since in a condem-
nation hearing the most vital question is, "What can be done vdth the property-what
is its zoning?", and that it would be chaotic to have a. condemnation hearing before
the zoning is known, and because the Council could not determine whether it was
advisable to condemn until after the zoning is es*ablished; that if property owners
are not satisfied with'the zoning established by the Council they may petition the
Court for further relief, or the Council, itself, may petition the Court,
the proper zoning for the property, Mr. Schwartzbauer told Council that at one time
the District Court made specific findings that the triangle ought not to be zoned
for a gasoline filling station, but that because of the complexity of the case it
is not completely clear as to whether the District Court still feels this is true,
As to
Relative to the upper tract, Mr, Schwartzbauer told Council that there is no
question but that the Pearce sisters may use the property for any use authorized
in the community store district in June, 1959; that at any time a building permit
is applied for, for such a use, this building permit should be approved without
any further delay; that, however, Counsel is not advising the Village that it is
powerless to change the ordinance in respect to setbacks and parking; that setbacks
and parking were not an issue in this case, and that the Court said nothing whatso-
ever as to whether the Council can or cannot impose reasonable requirements as to
setbacks and parking-that this was not before the Court,
-
Village Manager Hyde inquired if it would at this time be possible to establish a
setback along W,66th Street equal to that of the Woolworth Building, He reported
that the Council has established a setback on France Avenue south of W.70th Street.
M r. Schwartzbauer stated he believes this could be done, and Attorney Spencer said
he feels that Council may establish reasonable setback or other type of requirement-
but that such requirements must be reasonable,
requirement be readied for adoption at the next Council Meeting,
he believes the thing for the Council to do if it feels it has this right, is to
apply to the Court to make this change, rather than run the risk of being in contempt,
Mr. Schwartzbauer asked %hat attorneys have Council's thinking on ordinance before
application is made to District Court,
Mr. Hyde recommended that this
Mr. Brill advised
Some further discussion was had, and Trustee VanValkenburg pointed out that this
matter had been pending in Court for over three years, and because of its complexity
suggested that Council have an opportunity to discuss the matter of Mr. Brill's
requests with its counsel; suggesting that Council have a two-week period in which
to get attorneys' advice.

DISCUSSIONS HAD ON NEkI "NORTHWEST ANGLE" TRUNK WATERMAIN DISTRICT ELATIVE TO
NATE-RFIATN PETITIONS FILED THIS MEETING, Village Engineer Wegner told Council
that the Watermain petitions filed at this meeting have posed a problem--that
these residences are outside the Trunk Watermain District established (with the
exception of John Street); that they can, physically, be served fro% the trunk
main-but that this so restricts the area proposed to be assessed for a trunk
main coming from the East as to make the cost prohibitive tkthe balance of this
proposed district; that the attorneys have indicated that we cannot connect
laterals for Arthur Street, Vateman Avenue and Circle and Blake Road to the
already improved trunk system now, and assess for a future trunk line when it
is installed. He added he hopes to take bids on May 10 for the approved trunk
and lateral system,

district for the area), but to go ahead with advertisement for bids on that
