Will ~ait until they have more hookups befome he has the signals checked.

Mrs. Paulson talked to M~. $tewar~ and she says she and the president, Mms. Aleo~n~ a~e in
favop of the ordinance, as individuals.
3. Gave financial report on transit system. Reported on the losses sustained and amounts of
subsidies ~equired. Mentioned the loss which will occur in the excise tax receipt which will
be eliminated on July 1st by governor's veto. In o~de~ to assist in raising ~evenues~ Mm.
Stewart stated thore was to be a special bus z~n to tho USS Missouri fop 50¢ one way. This
will be star~ed as soon as the management can make arrangements. This will not ~e a sub-
sidized run. Alternatives are being looked at and one would be to ~aise tho fares which have
not been changed in many yea~s. It is proposed to ~aise the fa~es by S¢. This has been
recu,,,,ended by management to star~ on July 1st; or three fop a dollam by buying tokens on navy
yard specials. On these runs many ar~ standing up and this makes oum system feasible. This
would be a little ~alse fop navy yard worker~.

Patak. Mm. $tewar~ u~,ented tho city would probably be going to the people for more money
through increase in sales tax. He thought it would be difficult ~o get a favomable vote if'

fDUNCIL MIN~JTES - JUNE 25, 1975 - GONTlq~JED
also, Regina A. Hu~ley, 191g N. Lafayette, of April 18th~ note that Victor L. Mills, 1915 N. Wyooff
called to p~otest. Letter in favor from C. N. Moorhead, 2000 N. Cambrian.- Also, in file was a
petition signed by nine mesidents in favor and six neutral. Also, anothe~ letter in protest, si~ned
by Joy Matlock. Departmental r~sponses were read, or were noted as bein~ av~{lable in the file.
George Plescher, Plannin~ Directom, explained the a~ea usin~ maps~ showed how ~nhe land drops from
C~mbrlan and ears would have to use the all~y for pa~kln~ at the rea~ of the structures as would he
vez-f difficult to get a d~iveway fr~m Ca~brian. He showed a picture of the d~ellin~s. Also,
showed the site plan and discussed the two-sto~y in %wo separate ~uildin~s planned fo~ construction.
MoST of the first stories would he under~l, ound~ noted, there are planned to be 13 paPkin~ spaces
alon~ the alTey. The alley is ccmposed of dil-t. The hook-up to the 8" main will relieve the water
problem~ that Water Supt. has stated there is a g" m~{n there but the 8" on Wycoff would relieve
the problem. Mr. Bo~a~d, 2025 N. T~fayette, stated he lived there for 20 years and was told the
city didn't have a main in that a~ea~ and there is no way can hook on to existing main and get
incu~eased wat~ supply.
C~,,,issioneP Sehoneman spoke about the fact there have been no local improvement districts in this
residential ar~a since the l§g0's ~ that a request for improvement of the alley has neve~ been made
except where it meets 2~th and 26th~ Stevens Drive no~th of 2Sth had an improvement. EngineePin~
has been done in the "pill hill" a~ea but no improvements resulted. There a~e six hcmes with backs
to the alley but not once have had a petition fop improvement. Regardin~ the fault of the Water
Dept. refer~ed to, Con~ssioner Schoneman no one has ever registered a ecmplaint in his office
regar~Xing wate~ pressure and that the water pressure can be improved at any time, if have to put in
additional booster p~up~ and if the opposition to the duplex is lack of water, this can always be
corrected. Mr. PleseheP got a char~ fr~m the Water Dept. f~c~ the file and Mr. Schoneman read it.
Clerk read memo frc~ Inspector Ho~ton on the w~teP availability.
The followin~ persons spoke in opposition to the rezone: Florence Levin, 2021 N. Wycoff, stated
she had c~ied on M~. ~_ller's shoulder about water pressur~ for two yea~s. M~. Schoneman o~,,,,ented
he had no e(xnplaints himself nor did M~. WelleP infom him of any. Mr. A1 Jensen, applicant,
N. Lafayette, stated the big problem seems to ~e about water pressure ~ that the ar~a involved is on
a closed ci~t and Mr. Welle~ has stated if he would by-pass this and hook up to the 8" main it
~uld not bother the closed cl/~uit water p~essur~. Also, stated there is about 22' of black%~p.
usable now which would be available fop paPkin~ and he proposes to add about 13 feet more for the
ar~a by blacktopping. Cc~missione~ Sehoneman stated the alley would have to be improved before use
and su~ested an L.I.D. if there is a rezone and want to build an apa~.t~ent~ that he would not allow
that ~ondition of dil~t. Mr. Jansen indicated he would pay ~is pal~t of an L.I.D. He stated the
buildinKs would all be set hack and landscaped. He stated the propex~3y had been vacant for about
five years and it is ~r~3wn up with blackbez.x.ies and trash is ~in~ demped. Mayor Ja~stad stated the
proper~y can be used unde~ R-1 zoninE for buildin~ purposes such as duplexes and there could be a
detrimental affect on the neighborhood under present zonin~ and scmetimes it is bette~ for the
entire neighborhood to rezone, Cu,,,issioneP Schone~an asked on that basis, how would the water get
into the picture.
An unidentified neighbor stated he wouldn't object to duplex because there would be adequate pa~kinE
which doesn't appear to he on the Uroposed two units.
OPPONENTS:
Rober~ For~ester, 2102 N. Cambrian, stated he was concerned about fi~e protection~ concerned about
the alley access for ambulances, etc. /tlso, all have a~reed that the water pressure is low and
have objected to the repoet of M~. Weller. Nar~ streets in the a~ea make it difficult for
e~er~ency vehicles. Spoke of accident hazards down at the comer.
Alvin Jensen, 2003 N. Lafayette, asked how many on the petition wer~ fop the ~ezone and how many
neutral. A count was made and given. It appea~ed to be eight for, six neutral and 25 a~ainst.
Bill Bo~aPd, stated he moved the~e because he liked what was there, opposed to rezonin~.
Frank 0malts, 2007 N. ~ayette, objected because of inadequate pa~kin~ facilities~ that thirteen
spaces was insufficient when consider extra ca~s, motorcycles, etc. This will encroach on their
~p~aee and tnanquillity. Also, rezonin~ would allow other builder~ to ceme in the residential area,
which is a very desirable a~ea for residences. Visitors will have to pa~k on the street. Felt
increased density will have an impact on the neighborhood.
Mr. Boga~d spoke of the hlsto~y of the street in the a~ea, that at one time ]~fayette was an
and Cambrian was the main street, so every house faces Lafayette. All people park on Lafayette or
in their driveways.
Mr. Stewart asked about new eonstra]etion in the a~ea and Mr. Omaits' house was built about five
years a~o and the Jensan duplexes about seven yea~s a~o. Mr. For~esteP stated two homes are bein~
built one-half block away.
Don MeIntyr~, 281S 20th Street, who stated he lived next to the properdry and there is a problem with
water p~essur~. Questioned the access by use of the alley and Mr. S~hone~man explained an alley is
dedicated for public use, and meets the regulations. Mr. MeInty~e suggested it would have to he
made a one-way alley~ also, it is a mess with diz-t and dust. He claimed the buildln~ would be on
the riEht-of-way and then if the city improved later, the r~ht-of-way would be gone. Also, have a
drain p~obl~ there, with a biK ditch and he didn't know of any w~y to car~y the drainage out of
COUNCIL MINUTES - JUNE 25, 1975 - CONTINUED
thei~. He didn't mind a duplex or houses on the property.
Motion by Mayor Jarstad and Cc~mlssion~- Seh~ne~an to conclude this hearing~ at this t~me and to
~ deny or accept the rezone at a later date so they may have an oppo~-tunity to view the
property, decision should be made at the next Council meeting. Under discussion: C~'~'~[ssioner
Schoneman stated he would find out about the water pressttre and see what rep~{~s or ehanKes can be
made so can have water pressure like others in the city. Mayor Jarstad c~,,~eni~d that the Council
has concurred many times to more high density throughout the city and more and more nice apa~.b~,ent
d~ellings and houses but in most of those areas there have geen good open accesses or streets and
no probl~s with congestion. He said he had no objection to an apa~.h,~ent dwelling next to his
residence; that people who can afford to live in them are nice neiKhbors. He said he was concerned
with this rezone as it looks like quite tight area. Mayor Jarstad agreed with Mr. Sehoneman on need
for L.I.D. improvements in the area. Motion carried unanimously.
