MRS. H. STRONG AND MRS. W. A. CRAFT, RESIDENTS ON WEST 18TH AVENUE NEAR ,CHARNELTON STREET ALSO ATTENDED THE MEETING. THERE WERE TWO ITEMS OF BUSINESS REf~RRED TO THE FINANCE AND PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEES FOR CONSIDERATION:- I. PETITION OF P~OPE~TYOWNERS PROTESTING COUNCIL POLICY INVOLVING PRINCIPLE OF ASSESS- MENT FOR ARTERI AL STREETS ,I N RESI,DENTI AL AREAS. THE PETITION OF PROPERTY OWNERS AND ALONG WEST 18TH AVENUE AND OTHERS REQUESTING A CHANGE IN THE PRINCIPLE OF ASSESSING FOR ARTERIAL STREETS IN RESIDENTI~L AREAS WAS DIS- CUSSED. II II I IN THE DISCUSSION, TWO MEMBERS Of THE COMMIT1EE SUPPORTED THE PETITIONERS BY CON- TENDING THAT THE PRESENT POLICY Of THE COUNCIL IS UNFAIR TO THE OWNERS OF RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY ABUTTING SUCH ARTERIAL STREETS. I~ WAS ARGUED THAT THE CO~STRUCTION Of ARTER- IALS THROUGH RESIDENTIAL AREAS IS FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF THE CITY AND TO THE DETRIMENT OF THE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY ABUTTING SUCH STREET AND THAT OWNERS OF SUCH PROPERTY SHOULD NOT BE REQUIRED TO PAY MORE THAN THE COST Of A NORMAL RESIDENTIAL STREET. ANOTHER POINT BROUGHT OUT BY PROPONENTS WAS THAT THE SAME PRINCIPLE SHOULD APPLY TO THE COST Of HEAVIER CONSTRUCTION AS APPLIED TO THE COST Of THE EXTRA WIDTH. IF THE CITY IS TO PAY THE COST Of THE EXTRA WIDTH THEN WHY NOT ALSO THE COST Of THE EXTRA THICKNESS. COMMI TTEE MEMBERS OPPOSI NG THE CHANGE I N THE POll CY POI NTED OUT .THAT IF THI S CHANGE WAS ADOPTED THAT IT WOULD AMOUNT TO A COMPLETE DEPARTURE FROM THE BASIC PRINCIPLE OF ASSESSI ~G PROPERTY ,FOR THE C,OST OF LOCAL ,I MPROVEMENTS. THE PR I NC I PLE IS THAT PROPERTY SHOULD BEAR THE COST IN PROPORTION TO THE BENEfiTS. THE THEQRY IS THAT'THE .PROPERTY WILL B~NEfIT IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER NOW OR IN THE fUTURE IN PROPORTION.TO THE QUALITY AND COST OF THE IMPROVEMENT. IT WAS POINTED OUT ALSO THAT IN ITS PRESENT POLICY WHERE- I.N THE; CI TY PAY.S FOR THE COST OF EXTRA .WI DT~ IN RESI DENTI AL AREAS ,THAT .THE COUNCI L HAS MADE A REASONABLE ALLOWANCE AS AN OFfSET TO THE ~OST OF GREATER WIDTH. . IN ANSWER TO A QUESTION AS TO WHAT EfFECT SUCH A CHANGE WOULD HAVE ON PREVIOUS ASSESSMENTS IT WAS THE COMMENT OF THE CITY ATTORNEY THAT SOME ARTERIAL STREETS HAVE BEEN BUILT, ASSESSED AND P~ID FOR UNDER THE ESTABL.ISHED POLICY AND THAT THE CITY MIGHT BECOME THE PRINCIPAL PARTY IN LEGAL ACTION TO RECOVER A PORTION OF AMOUNTS ASSESSED. I I I I I I I I I I 1 1 I i I \ I IT WAS MOVED BY MR. SIEGENTH~LER, SECONDED BY MR. SHEARER THAT THE COUNCIL POLICY ON ASSESSING fOR THE COST OF ARTERIAL STREETS IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS BE CHANGED SO THAT OWNERS OF SUCH PR9PERTY WOULD BE EXEMPT FROM ASSESSMENT FOR THE COST OF EXTRA WIDTH AND EXTRA THI CKNESS EXCLUDI NG THE STREET SUBGRADE AND FOR THE PURP,OSE OF 01 FfERENTI ATI NG BETWEEN RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL THAT R-3 AND R-4 ZONES BE CONSIDERED COMMERCIAL. , THE VOTE ON THE MOTION RESULTED IN A TIE, TWO FOR AND TWO AGAINST. THE COMMITTEE ,THEREFORE REFERS THE MATTER BACK TO THE COUNCIL WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION. 2.

A STUDY OF THE PROPOSED SPECIFICATIONS REVEALS THAT THE FOUNDATION FOR ALL CITY STREETS HAS BEEN MADE STANDARD IN THICKNESS AND MATERIAL USED AS IT IS FELT THAT ALL STREETS AT SOME TIME ARE SUBJECT TO EXTREME LOADS AND THE FOUNDATION SHOULD BE ABLE AT ALL TIMES TO GIVE THE PROPER SUPPORT. THE THICKNESS OF THE BAR RUN GRAVEL WHICH WE RECOMMEND AT NINE INCHES IS NOT STATIC AS IT WILL DEPEND ON THE SUB-SOIL CONDITIONS ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION. AT TIMES IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO IN- CREASE THE THICKNESS BECAUSE OF SOFT SPOTS; ALSO THE THICKNESS WILL DECREASE BECAUSE OF SHALE OR ROCK BEING LESS THAN THE STANDARD DEPTH BELOW THE GRADE. You WILL FIND THAT THE ASPHALTIC CONCRETE COATING HAS BEEN STANDARDIZED AT 3-1/2 INCHES. IT HAS LONG BEEN FELT THAT THE DEPTH OF THE COATING COULD BE DECREASED IF A PROPER BASE OR FOUNDATION WAS PLACED.
