2~~ e - - - ---~- . ~ :..-- - - -- - .- I I I NUMBER ONE IS ABOUT A 12 UNIT APARTMENT THAT ~URNISHES GARAGE UTILITIES ~OR THEIR I TENANTS. ONE O~ THE GARAGE BUILDINGS IS BUILT RIGHT AT THE ALLEY -- WITH THE OPENINGS TOWARD THE APARTMENT COURT. OBVIOUSLY THEY HAVE NO USE O~ THE ALLEY. .NUMBER TWO I S .ANOTHERGARAGE BUILDING -- SET WELL BACK FROM THE ALLEY, WITH THE OPENINGS ~ACINGTHEIR OWN.DII~EWAY; AGAIN HAVING NO USE OF THE ALLEY. NUMBER 'THREE IS 'A HOUSE AND CARPORT, AND I WOULD PRESUME THAT THESE PEOPLE MAY HAVE INSTIGATED THIS ALLEY SUR~ACING PRoeOSAL -- ALTHO'I DON'T KNOW THIS TO BE TRUE, AND-I "AM NOT AWARE O~ THIS OWNER'S NAME. THE ONLY COMMENT I MIGHT MAKE HERE IS THAT IT MUST HAVE BEEN MOST OBVIOUS WHEN THESE PEOPLE EITHER BUILT OR BOUGHT THIS PROPERTY, THAT IT WAS SITUATED AS IT IS -- ~ACING AN ALLEY. I~ THEY WERE NOT HAPPY WITH THE SET-UP WHEN THEY FIRST LOOKED AT THE PROPERTY, I T SEEMS TO ME THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE GONE ELSEWHERE; , OR, IF 'I THEY INSISTED ON BUYI.NG THE PROPERTY ON AN "AS IS" BASIS -- THEY SHOULDN'T NOW EXPECT ALL O~ THE REST O~ THE PROPERTY OWNERS IN THIS BLOCK TO MAKE THEM A PRESENT or A SURr~CED ALLEY TO THEIR DOOR-STEP. . e THE ALLEY ~RONTAGE or NUMBER fOUR PROPERTY I~ SIMPLY A BERRY~PATCH WITH 'A rENCE .ALONG THE ALLEY. NUMBER ~IVE PROPERTY HAS A ~INE STAND' OF CORN ~ACING THE ALLEY, AND ALSO A ~ENCE ALONG THE ALLEY LINE. I CAN SEE NO PARTICULAR ADVANTAGE ~OR PROeERTY NUMBER SIX HAVING A SUR~ACED ALLEY. IT WOULD SI MPLY ALLOW THEM TO ENTER THE I R TWO GARAGES ~ROMA HARD SURf"ACE I NSTEAD O~ ,THE ",; PRESENT GRAVEL. THIS PROPERTY IS A DUPLEX AND 1 WOULD AGAIN POINT .OUT THAT BUYERS MUST I SIMPLY 00 NOT PAY SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS ADDITIONAL rOR INCOME PROPERTY BECAUSE IT HAPPENS TO BEALONG~HARD SUR~ACEDALLEY. j PROPERTY NUMBER SEVEN IS A BERRY PATCH ALONG THE ALLEY. PROPERTY NUMBER EIGHT TS" f"ULLY LANDSCAPED IN THE ALLEY PORTION - WITH RATHER BIG TREES AND SHRUBBERY. I T WOULD SEEM TO ME THAT THEIR ONLY USE Of" THE ALLE~ WOULD BE FOR DELIVERY Of" SAWDUST, LOAM, . E'T'C. : .1 PROP-ERTY NUMBER .NI NE HAS A DRt VEWAY TO THE STREET ~ROM I TS GARAGE, AND NO ,PARTI CULAR I USE OF, THE ,ALLEY. PROPERTY NUMBER TEN HAS A GARAGE THAT APPARENTLY AT ONE TIME WAS ENTERED FROM THE ALLEY. HOWEVER, NOW THIS DOOR IS .BARRICADED AND BLOCKED, AND THEY HAVE A rE~CE RIGHT ALONG THE ALLE~ LINE. . PROPERTY ELEVEN IS ABOUT A TEN UNIT APARTMENT. IT HAS TWO ENTRANCES TO THE DRIVEWAY AND PARKING AREA THAT SiRV1CES ITS GARAGES. ONE OF THESE ENTRANCES IS ~ ORIV~WAY FROM 18TH STREET, .AND ONE OF THE, ENTRANCES IS FROM THE, ALLEY. THEIR COURT IS SIMPLY GRAVELLED -- .IT~ WOULD SEEM A BI T SI LLY TO ME FOR A PERSON TO' PAY FOR .A SUR~ACED ALLEY 'SO 'THAT H.I S TENANTS COULD DRIVE OEF OF THIS ONTO THE PERFECTLY ADEQUATE GRAVEL AND ON INTO HIS GARAGE. i . As I. MENTIONED IN THE BEGINNING, T.HE KI PPERS WOULD LI KE TO BE ON RECORD ASOPPOSI,NG THE SURFACING OF THIS ALLEY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COURTESY." IT WAS MOVED BY MR. HARTMAN, SECONDED BY MR.
