PLATS & SUBDNISIONS AND
STREETS & UTILITIES SUBCON�ITTEE MEETING - JULY 20, 1967 PAGE 1
ROLL CALL:
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Jensen at 7:35 P.M.
Members present: Myhra, Nagel, Jensen, Schmedeke, Albrecht.
Members absent: None
Others present: Engineering Assistant Clark
ORDER OF AGENDA•
The order of agenda was to be followed as written.
1. DISCUSSION OF SE� OF SEC�ION 13: Meeting with Cochran, Chies, Carlson
and 0'Bannon, the four major property owners.
The property owners present were 0'Bannon, Carlson and Don Chies.
Chairman Jensen commented that the new plan called "Suggested Plat
for Rice Creek Road/Central Avenue Area" to be reviewed this evening
prepared by Kermit Crouch, in general, looks pretty practical. They
have dealt fairly with the small property owners and being a relatively
fluid plan, no pressure would have to be put on any small individual
property owner. Mr. 0'Bannon discussed his road problem, and it was
decided to discuss this at the August 3rd meeting.
The problem of placing houses on cul de sacs in relation to the
rest of the street was gone over.
The three property owners were asked individually their opinion
of the latest and final plan and they all agreed this was a fine job,
the best one yet.
It was felt the grades should be left up to each property owners.
Mr. 0'Bannon said he would like to meet with Mr. Scherer and Mr.
Morey in the engineering office before the August 3rd meeting.
No action.
2. REZONING REQUEST, ZOA ��63-02, MRS. FLORENCE SWANSON & BERNARD JULKOWSKI:
The easterly end of Ironton and adjacent to Ashton Avenue, Auditor's
Subdivision ��103 and Ironton Industrial Park. Street pattern.
Chairman Jensen explained that the rezoning request of Mrs. Swanson
was tied to the street pattern and that was why the Subcommittee was
getting it now.

This petition for the rezoning request was denied once last year,
and it seems an opinion was never expressed of the Hodne plan. The City
Engineer asked Mrs. Swanson to present her rezoning request again so
that there might be a way to solve Mrs. Swanson's problem of selling her
land and the street problem in that area. A public hearing was held at
the last Planning Co�nission at which time there were a large number of
the neighboring residents in objecting to multiple dwellings on this
tract. I believe the Planning Commission felt reluctant to approve and
decided there should be further study. Mrs. Swanson said she had
offered to sell the property to the City for park. There seems to be
lack of real organization in this request. It was sent back to this
subcommittee and to the Parks and Recreation Commission.
Looking at Hodne's plan dated March 24, 1966 (Commission No. 6553),
Chairman Jensen continued, you will note the key to his plan is a connec-
tion between Hugo and Ironton which does not exist at this time. The
continuation of Ashton Avenue from Ely north to the future MSA street that
connects East River Road and University, could actually eliminate the
Ironton Street connection with Ashton. Industrial traffic is already
being generated in M-1 and is more or less filtered out through Ironton.
By eliminating connection with Ironton and pushing up to MSA, this
objectionable industrial traffic will be kept out of the residential
neighborhood and the need for the proper landscaping barrier, which is
shown in some detail in the Hodne sketch, shows how hedges and trees
would provide screening to the residential area on the west.
Member Harold Albrecht entered.
It was noted that there is now a petition to improve Hugo Street.
This is a long street that goes nowhere, but ends in someone's yard.
This was the reason Mrs. Swanson �cas asked to come in.
According to Hodne's plan, Ironton Street would be closed so that
it would not become a cross street between Ashton and East River Road,
then Ashton becomes a north-south thoroughfare from 79th to 83rd Avenues.
Ironton Avenue traffic will then be forced to go out on East River Road.
MOTION by Nagel, seconded by Myhra, that the Plats & Subdivisions -
Streets & Utilities Subcoirunittee recommend adoption of Hodne's Plan, as
far as the street pattern is concerned, dated Ma.rch 24, 1966, with the
exception that the right of way connecting Hugo Street and Ironton be
forty feet rather than sixty feet. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye,
the motion carried unanimously.
3. LOT SPLIT REQUEST: L.S. ��67-03, EMMY H. RIEDEL ESTA�E BY DONALD I�A,MM,
ATTY.: Parcel 4850 sold to Dr. Trezona to be split off for special
assessment.
The real estate portion of Riedel Estate to be taken care of by
Paul A. Skjervold.

It was again noted that the logical time and place for this type of
lot split, which has not gone through the regular City channels at the
time of purchase, should be in the Registrar of Deeds office. The
Engineering Assistant said that one time there was a sign in the court
house warning the person filing the deed about the City Ordinance.
MOTION by Myhra, seconded by Schmedeke, that the Planning Con¢nission
request Darrel Clark, Engineering Assistent, to see if a sign exists that
informs the lot owner to follow the course of action prescribed by his
city government before filing a lot split. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, the motion carried unanimously.
Item 3 was to be continued until Mr. S�jervold has retumed to the
City.
4. ROAD STUDY: 69th Avenue to 73rd Avenue, Central Avenue to Highway ��65.
It was reported by the Engineering Assistant that there has been
some action by Council that would eliminate the need for us to act. It
now appears that there is no need for the subcommittee to take action
until something else develops.
No action.
