<br />COMMUNICATION DATED MARCH 22, 1957 FROM HAZEN L. AND DOROTHY H. OLSEN RE VACATION OF PRO-
<br />PERTY NOT ACTUALLY INCLUDED IN THE 6'0 FOOT RIGHT-OF-WAY ON NORTH SIDE OF ~eTH' AND LINCOLN STREETS,
<br />LOT e, BLOCK. 5,' HENDRICK'S AMENDED ADDITION, WAS SUBMI1TED AND READ AS FOLLOWS:
<br />
<br />e
<br />
<br />"AT A MEETING OF THE PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL ON SEPTEMBER 28,
<br />1955, IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT THE PROPER CITY OFFICIALS TAKE THE NECESSARY STEPS TO
<br />INITIATE A VACATION ON ALL PROPERTY ACQUIRED BY'THE OPENING OF THE 18TH..AvE.NUE ARTERIAL
<br />BETWEEN WASHINGTON AND CHARNELTON NOT ACTUALLY INCLUDED IN THE 60 FOOT RIGHT OF WAY,
<br />AND SAID PROPERTY TO REVERT TO ADJACENT PROPERTIES. THIS RECOMMENDATION WAS ADOPTED
<br />BY THE COUNCIL AT THEIR REGULAR MEETING ON OC10BE~ 10, 1955.
<br />
<br />I
<br />
<br />HOWEVER, AT A SUBSEQUENT MEETI NG I TWAS DECI DED TO RET'AI N AN 80 FOOT RI GHT-OF-
<br />WAY. THIS DECISION IS WHAT WE WOULD LLKE FOR YOU TO RECONSIDER. IN VIEW OF THE
<br />LARGE EXTENT OF,PROPERTIES TO BE PURCHASED ALL ALONG 18TH STREE~ AND-ESPECIALLY THE
<br />HIGH-PRICED APARTMENT HOUSES, BUSINESSES, ETe., TO BE CONSIDERED, IT SEEMS IT WOULD
<br />NOT BE FEASIBLE OR LIKELY FOR~HE CITY TO EVER CONSIDER SUCH AN EXPENDITURE FOR THE
<br />CONSTRUCTION OF A 80 FOOT ARTERIAL STREET. THEREFORE WE BELIEVE THAT THE PROPERTY
<br />BEYOND A 60 FOOT' R I GH'r OF WAY SHOULD REVERT TO THE ADJACENT PROPERTY' I F THE OWNERS,
<br />SO DESIRE.
<br />
<br />WE FEEL THAT WE ARE NOT OUT OF LINE IN ASKING THIS COUNCIL TO RECONSIDER THE
<br />PREVIOUS ACTION OF RETAINING THE 80 FOOT RIGHT OF WAY, BECAU~E OF THE FOLLOWING
<br />REASONS:
<br />
<br />fiRST: WE WERE OFFERED THE EXCESS LAND AS A GIFT, AND WE ACCEPTED.
<br />THERE IS A LETTER ON' FILE TO THAl RESPECT DATED OCTOBER. 24, 1954.
<br />I.'
<br />
<br />SECOND: WE PAID A HEAVY ASSESSMENT FOR A STREET THA~DJD'NOT, ABUTT OUR
<br />PROPERTY EXCEPT BY DIRECT ACTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL, WHICH DEDI-
<br />DATED MORE PROPERTY FOR STREET USE THAN WAS ACTUALLY NEEDED.
<br />~' :, .' ~
<br />THIRD: WE FIRMLY BELIEVE, AN ARTERIAL STREET IS A DETRIMENlT TO ADJOINING
<br />RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY RATHER THAN AN ASSET. ALSO WE WERE BURDENED
<br />WITH AN EXCESSIVE ASSESSMENT FOR. AN ARTERIAL STREET FROM WHICH THE
<br />PEOPLE OF' THE CITY BENEF I TED AS' A WHOLE. . :
<br />
<br />I
<br />
<br />WE HAVE CONFIDENCE IN OUR CITY COUNCIL AND MAYOR TO BE FAIR IN THIS MATTER AND
<br />WE TRUST THAT ~OU-WILL GIVE THIS,F,AVORABLE CONSIDERATION AT AN: E.ARLY DAlTE."
