I REPORTS OF COr~TTEES A report of the Street Committee re: Improvement of Elk Drive, was submitted and read as follows: I "Your. Committee on Streets to whom was referred petitions for improve- 11 ment of Elk Avenue and condemnation of private drive a distance of 153 feet from I Elk Avenue begs to report as follows: I ! That your committee has investigated the petitions and finds I tha t the proposed condemnation of right-of-way is s.ought as a means of ingress and egress for private property and does not involve the connection. of regularly designated city streets. This property is now being served by the private drive on the , property owned by A.F. Whiting who declares his intention to keep the driveway t I open for access purposes. The committee feels that this matter rests between the l affected property owners and that it is not the responsibility of the city to I purchase the right-of-way by condemnation or otherwise. I ! In connection with the improvement of Elk Drive, the petition bears the signature of only one owner whose property abuts upon Elk Avenue to be assessed for such improvement. This improvement would be costly owing to the terrain and I would not serve other abutting properties which would be charged with the cost of improvement. We recommend that the interested property owners seek to raise suf- ficient money for the improvement of the present road to an extent that it would adequa tely serve the affected property owners." I It was moved by.Johnson, seconded by Bailey that the report of the Committee be adopted. Motion carried. The Sewers Committee submitted the following report: ; "Your Committee on Sewers to whom was referred various matters begs to 21 report as follows: I ! With reference to Council Bill No. 146 which would permit the operation of sewer cleaning devices within the City of Eugene, your committee has further studied this matter and recommends the passage of the proposed ordinance. The , Committee acknowledges a communication from the Journeymen Plwnbers and Steam I Fitters, Local #481, protesting the granting of such permission but feels that this communication of protest presents no evidence indicating that the use of such equipment is detrimental ,to the interest of the City or its householders. In the matter of various applications for individual sewer connections outside the City limits, the co~nittee recommends that such applications be granted or rejected by the City Manager upon the determination of the merits of each individual case. It is further recommended that such connection agreements provide I that the city shall retain control of such lines serving the outside connection. ! I We further recommend that an annual charge of $9.00 per year be assesse4 I I against all outside sewer connections, this rate to apply immediately to all new , " I connections and to be effective in the case of present users July 1, 1947. This I I increase in rate is based upon findings of the committee with reference to special tax levies now paid by ,city sewer users for replacements and extensions of trunk i line and interceptorsewers." ! seconded by Koppe that the report of the Committee be adopted. It was moved by Hawn, The first monthly estimates on various sewer jobs as approved by the 3: City Engineer and Contractors, Werner & Jeske, were submitted as follows: I Jefferson - 19th to 24th Avenues $ 702.24 Alley between Washington & ITefferson, 22nd to 24th 1011.20 Alley between Jefferson and Madison, 19th to 24th 2163.20 I i I . \ r I i I I ( t ~
