Co. 4.55 . Councilman Barette reported reg,.rding the request of property owners abutting ; on Hamble Street to reduce this street from a width of 50 feet to 25 feet. Mr. i Barette stated that the Street Committee and other councilmen had looked at thms : property. He also stated that if theywould narrow the s.treet down to 25 feet, ; road equipment and fire trucks would not be able to make the turn in this street. i Mr. Barette also stated that there were no trees of consequence in the 50-foot i street. _ He stated tha t it was the recommendation of the Street Committee that this request be denied and that.he was making a motion that this request for narrowing this street should be denied. This motion was seconded by Stewart. Mr. G. B. Fedde was present and stated that he wished to take issue with Council- man Bare,tte in regard to his statement about trees on this property. He said that there were eight walnut trees, two peach trees, four catalpa trees and a cluster of oaks on the north side and another cluster on the south side of this street. He stated that it was the original intention that this street should be only 25 feet wide and that these trees had been planted with that understanding and that the , narrowest place in the street free of trees was 27 feet and 6 inches . Mr. R. A. 4 : McCully was pr,esent and stated tha t he was, on the Counc il when this addi tion was I i platted and that it ,was through a misundersta~ding on his part at that time in allo - J ing the street to be more than 25 feet wide. He said that in the proceedings after~ i ~he tract had been platted, Hamble Street was listed as belonging to Mr. Ramble and i that he propo~ed moving an old red house on this street and that the property owner , had to buy a couple of lots from Mr. Hamble in order to have this property deeded a ~ a street. Mr. McCully stated that there were many other narrow streets in Eugene J I and that Longview, running off of Fairmount Boulevard, also was a narrow street and I did not even have sidewalks. Councilman Pennington stated that as long as all the : property owners were in favor of having this street narrowed down to 25 feet and tht : there appeared to be no opposition, he thought the Council should grant them their I : request. Councilman Brownson stated that he felt the same way abouti t. Councilman I Stewart stated that it was not the intention of, the committee to be unfair in i this situation, but he wished to stateJ,that there, was only 50 feet between the ; present Hamble Road and the road leading into Hendricks Park, and he wondered if i it would be satisfactory to the property owners'.tovacate all Hambel Avenue. Mr. : Fedde stated that he did not think that would be satisfactory. The question was I called for and Councilman Barette was the only member voting aye, all other,council- : men voting no, and the motion was declared lost.. On motion made, seconded, and i carried, the City Attorney was instructed to bring vacation papers to narrow the i street to 25 feet as requested in the original petition. , ! Councilman Farrington stated that the committee had looked into the matter ! of the use of the sidewalks by trucks in certain locations in town, which had !previously been referred to the committee. He said that they had made quite a : study of this situatioIiand had a written report which he was asking Mr. Brownson :to read. This rep ort was read by Mr. Brownson. The investigation had concerned : the Pacific Fruit and Produce Company at 4th and Charnelton, the Pacific Coop- 'erative Producers at 5th and Olive, the Medo-land Creamery at 675 Charnelton, . 'Swift and Company on High Street, the Drive-In Market and Dutch Girl at, 1222 5 Willamette. The typewr~ tten' report was sent in for record in the Recorder's office. Councilman Barette stated that it was impossible for the Street Department to enforce ,any of these ordinances, but that the City had authority to enforce the ordinance iregarding trucks and vehicles parked on the sidewalks and that it was the recommend- I :ation of the Street Committee that these ordinances should be enforced. A motion '(was made by Barette and seconded by Koppe that the Chief of Police be held respons- iible/for the enforcement of these ordinances. The motion was carried. Councilman ,Brownson suggested that the Chief of Police call on the different firms and he lbelieved that if the situation was explained to the firms they would probably :cooperate in cleaning up the situation.
