It would be necessary for the Village to adopt a resolution which would be filed with the State, together with an operating agreement approved by both State and Village. The State Highwy Department than wMe would outline the plan for procedure, setting forth the requirements as to the plass for installation and the type of signal equipment that would be best suited and practical for our problem, and a contract would be let for the indtallation of signals.

ATTES nil�] 16Ligident of the Couac i 1 Be co r Postponed Meeting, June 26, 1951 The postponed meeting of the Council of June 25, 1951 was called to order at 8100 p.m by President 0. J. Brcnstad, with the following members answering roll call: Jackson, Bennett, Bowers, and Bronstad . The discussion of the drainage problem in Hansen's Belt Line Addition was con- tinued at considerable length, several of the property owners in the area berg present. The Village Zngineer presented his report which was the result of considerable study, surveys, and facts supporting his contention that there would be no morewater drained into the area than bad been previously. He explained that the drainage from 36th Avenue would be diverted to the Belt Line, instead of into the pond as it had previously. AttozKon was also called to the fact that, according to reports from the weather Bureau, we have had 4 inches more than normal rainfall to date and that there were only five pieces of property that would be affected by more than normal collection of water in this drainage area. The property owners in the Question Mark area were again heard on their oppo- sition to the proposed motel by Horksy and Shaskey. The following points supporting the recommendation of the Planning Commission were pointed out: 1. It moist be remembered that, in 1946 when the zoning ordinance was legally adopted, no residential development existed within the area that could be possibly affected by the then existing commercial area; for that reason it is safe to assume that the now ixisting resi- dential development located in the fall knowledge that the Question Mark property was commercial. 2. Previous to 1946 when preliminary study was being given to the zoning of this area, it was at first believed that 2501 should be zoned commercial all the way to 62nd Ave. on the Zest side of $y. #52. However, because of the protesting of the resident member of the Zoning Commission a compromise was arrived at the North line of the Question Mark property. U /O. 238 June 26, 1951 (continued) 3. 13VALULTIOS: It would be difficult indeed to establish a basis for the belief that property values would be lessened by the existeneg' of a Motel beyond a possible_ devaluation because, of the Question Marki'avern , which was there when they built their homes. 4, CMUCTER 0? III RISE: Anyone who has had occasion to avail himself of the hospitality offered Ina properly conducted Motel would hesitate a l,ng time before deciding the atmosphere was unfit for the raising of children, if indeed this would be his decision. Using the ex- perience of a Motel already established in the Village it would be difficult to associate the raising of children residing a consider- able distance from the proposed Motel. Certainly the character and background of the applicants are such that we could be reasonably certain that the conduct of the enterprise would be above amproach and, were it not, the Council still reserves the right to revoke the license. 5. TMMC: When we consider that all the traffic would enter and exit on private driveways direct to the Motel grounds and with suitable barriers in the way of hedges and neat fences it does not sees that the surrounding area, could, in any way, be affected by traffic, and city streets would not be used. b. BOISE `his problem is answered before it starts since the =&gement, for its own best interests and the comfort of the patrons could not tolerate noise in any degree and certainly not to the extent that it would be troublesome to residential development a con- siderable distance sway. There being no farther business, President 0. J. Bronstad adjourned the meeting, subject to the call of the Chair. I A TA T �J s dent of the Council er Equalisation Board Meeting, June 29, 1951 The scheduled and publicised Board of Equalisation meeting was called to order at 5:30 P.M., June 29, 1951, by Mayor Brcastad,.with the following members answer- ing rolloall: Assessor Schmock, Bronsted, Bowers, Bennett, and Scott. %It Motion by Scott, seconded by Bennett, that we adjourn the Equalization Board meeting until August 10, 1951 at 5:30 P.M., at the suggestion of Leo Scbmock, Assessor, due to the fact that the assessing has not been completed.

"Carried" Prank Howe presented a sketch of a proposed garage building that bw wishes to erect at approximately 5501 Lakeland Ave. The Council suggested that we hold granting of a permit until Mr. Howe presents a sketch of the property. Mr. Von Ends was spokesman for a group of property owners in the Ennis—Rohr area, 3 requesting a report on the progress of the proposed drainage tile along the south line. The.Council asked the group to prepare a petition requesting the tiling and filling. Another hearing was granted property owners on Xenia Ave. in Hansen's Belt line Addition, concerning the drainage provided for in the street improvement project# Becaaxse a petition opposing the improvement on Xenia Ave. contains many names, It was the qDinion of the Village Attorney, that if a new petition containing 51% of the front footage was presented, the Council would be justified in awarding the contract for improvement.
