He said until we get agreements from both bodies, we would not do any additional work on the project. He suggested that the Council action can be recinded at a later date if no agreement can be reached for any of the three systems with Spring Lake Park and the Highway Department. Councilman Harris suggested that the resolution be passed but to strike the word "improvement". The City Engineer felt that the Council should adopt the resolution for the final plans and specifications before we should approach Spring Lake Park and the Highway Department. After that, it would just be a matter of choice of which of the three proposals the City wishes to choose. MOTION by Councilman Harris to adopt the Resolution striking the word "improvement". Seconded by Councilman Samuelson. Mr. Rodman, Attorney for J.W. Bernstein, said that he appreciated the indulgence by the Council in moving this item forward on the Agenda, He said that it was his understanding that if the resolution is passed this would mean that the Council need not hold another Public Hearing, however, the particular improvement Is not known, nor is the cost known at this time. He would like to ogee the Council instruct the Administration to bring in plans and specifications and costs, rather than adopt the resolution. $ge Gibbs replied that the Council felt that it was a question pf ngeding the resolution to enter into agreements with Suring Lige park and the Highway Department and that this was the usual VXpc9dure. The Council is well within it's fights to order in REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE; 17, 1968 PAGE 12 • the improvement at this time, however, they could choose to authorize the Administration to proceed without the resolution. Councilman Liebl pointed out that the Council should indicate to the people which plan would be adopted. Councilman Samuelson's feeling was that perhaps the minimum system would be better at this time, and would suggest that this be tabled until further information is available. COUNCILMAN HARRIS WITHDREW PREVIOUS MOTION. MOTION by Councilman Harris to authorize the Administration to meet with Spring Lake Park and the Highway Department for cost sharing participation study. Seconded by Councilman Samuelson. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried. Mr. Rodman requested that he be informed when this item will next appear on the Council Agenda. CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION ORDERING FINAL PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR WATER SANITARY SEWER AND STORM SEWER PROJECT #88, ADDENDUM #2; The City Engineer said that this is for water and sewer and if this project is ordered in now the cost factor would be good, later, the cost will probably be higher. The Fire Department would like to see the Council order in this improvement so the area could have fire protection. Mr. Harold Harris, 6210 Riverview Terrace, asked if this is the same plan brought in before *here the water would be jacked in under 79th Avenue and then an enlarged pipe would be put in to serve adjacent properties at a cost to the people in the area. What cost differential is there between the water and sewer now and not knowing if the ditch is to be an open ditch or a partial conduit or a full conduit. If it is a full conduit, how do you put one past the other without considerable expense. Mr. Comstock replied that this will have to be resolved before the final plans and specifications are presented. The sewer and water will have to be designed in conjunction with the storm ewer plan. If the ditch is to be enlarged, there would be culverts under Elm and Beech Streets. The drainage program will have to be considered with the sewer and water project. He said they are considering jacking under the tracks and connecting the watar at 79th Avenue on the 8" line, this would loop back to INSPEC On OF BUILDINGS LOCATION 231 79"' Way OWNER Paul Burkholder LOT 11 ,12 ,13,14 BLOCK 3 ADD- Spring Brook Park Permit No. Construction Date Contractor Cost Final io ,016 Foundation Permit 11/12/68 Lance Bartlett 97.00 Sewer Connection Chg. it 525.00 10,059 Building Permit,7 Unit 6/20/69 Apt. 12/10/68 Lance Bartlett 7584 Electrical Permit 2/6/69 O.B.

Report On Area North Of 79th Way As Requested By The City Manager In Response To A Request By Councilman Breider 181 Ely -Street N.E.: Building Permit #6229 issued 10/18/62 Building Permit #9116 issued 12/7/66 A building permit for construction of ad6_tional storage area was grant ..d to Aladdin Pools Incorporated on December 7, 1966, subject to the following conditions; 1. All exposed concrete block (old and nev) be painted. 2. A 7 foot redwood fence (stained or painted) be provided to enclose the storage yard. 3. Crushed rock or blacktop (or better) be provided off Ashton, North of the fence and also front drive and parking lot. The remainder of the lot outside the fence to be sodded or landscaped. 4. A Certificate of Occupancy be issued when all the requirements are met. Inspection shows the following discrepancies; 1. Areas to be sodded or seeded are overgrown with weeds. 2. Fence has not been painted or stained: One section in the Northwest corner is falling down. 3. Only the front of the building has been painted. All other areas are unpainted block. 4. There is no driveway North of the fence. 5. No Certificate of Occupancy has been issued. We can use stipulations of building permit for landscaping. 161 Ely Street N.E.: Building Permit #5790'issued 3/2/62 Board of Appeals variance to reduce front yard setback front 100 feet to 44 feet 6 inches -to build an addition was granted on December 1, 1965, and approved by Council but a building permit for the above addition apparently was never issued. There is some planting and landscaping on the front of building (South side). There is concrete curb in front of the building and on the East side'of the front parking area. Some precast concrete bumpers are stacked in parking area. There is a circular drive with some rock but most of the area is dirt. Most areas are overgrown with weeds. Parking area can be required under 1961 City Ordinance and lots can be maintained under pr9sent nuisance ordinances. Compliance to the 1969 City Code can be required by January 1, 1973. 14 Report on Area North of 79th Way Requested by City Manager Paize 2 160 Ely Street N.E.: Building Permit #5529 issued 9/11/61 Building Permit #6824 issued 11/5/63 Original building permit stipulates front of building to be stucco and brick with side yard setback on East to be 5 feet and front yard setback to be 35 feet. The building permit for the addition in 1963 stipulates a front yard setback of 35 feet and a side yard setback of 20 feet. The sketch attached to the building permit shows the 20 foot side yard on the West side of the building. The sketch also shows a blacktop parking area in front of the building. Inspection shows no blacktopping in front of building and no landscaping of any kind. Front yard setback appears too short. Some improvements could be made by compliance with 1963 building permit, also by using 1963 Zoning Ordinance in effect at time of second building permit. Other compliance can be made by January 1, 1973. 140 Liberty Street N.E.: Building Permit #5159 issued 3/16/61 Building Permit #10,532 issued 1/2/70 Original permit stipulated that front of building must be stucco or brick or both. Front yard setback was 35 feet and East side yard was 0 feet. The second building permit was for interior alterations only. No stipulations were noted on the building permits. This building should be considered with 148 Liberty Street because there is only five feet between buildings and originally the permit was granted for a common wall. 148 Liberty Street N.E.: Building Permit #6380.issued 3/11/63, Originally; permit was granted for addition to existing building at 140 Liberty -but nearly 1 year after permit was issued (2/21/64) apparently a verbal arrangement was made to separate the two buildings with the second addition being added to the existing building as per permit plans. There are now two separate buildings approximately 5 feet apart. Inspection shows one concrete drive up to East end of building and one concrete drive to loading ramp at West end of building. Rest of lot is dirt with no landscaping. Parking, and landscaping can be enforced under some provisions of the 1963 City Ordinances, and balance by January 1, 1973. 4 Report on Area North of 79th Way Requested by City Manager Page 3 151 Longfellow Street N.E.: Building Permit #6398 issued 3/28/63 A front yard variance from 100 feet to 60 feet was granted on March 21, 1962 to allow erection of the above building. The Board of Appeals also stipulated that the building was to be 50 feet from the West property line. The Council concurred. A sketch attached to the Board of Appeals minutes shows a building 68 feet by 70 feet with the West side 50 feet from the property line. .The building permit issued was for a building 85 feet by 44 feet. The building on the site is considerably less than 50 feet from the West property line. Stipulations on the building permit stated that the parking lot and driveway must be blacktopped with the balance of the front to be sodded and planted. A recent complaint was issued against this property because water and oil were running from this building into a shallow pool adjoining the residential property on the West and the water and oil seeped onto the lawn. There were also complaints of illegal parking and poor maintenance. The owner was notified and the vehicles were parked in a different area; the lot was cleaned up; interior masonry work eliminated the water and oil flow; and the owner has stated that a six foot screen fence will be erected between his property and the residential property West of the building. The fence is to be done by November 24, 1970 and the holes along the west side of the building filled shortly thereafter. Compliance in this case is voluntary, for the most part, but compliance can be obtained under 1963 Ordinances and present ordinances. 181 -79th Way N.E.: Building Permit #5889 issued 5/10/62 , This is ari 8 unit apartment building which is landscaped and being maintained in an adequate manner. 211 -79th Way N.E.: Building Permit #5751 issued 2/10/62 This is an 8 unit apartment building which is landscaped and being maintained in an adequate manner. 231 -79th Way N.E.: Building Permit #10,059 issued 12/10/68 This is a:7 unit apartment building which is landscaped and being maintained in an adequate manner. 4 Report on Area North of 79th Way Requested by City Manager Page 4 136 Liberty Street N.E.: This is a nonconforming use of an automobile junk yard. According to the Zoning Ordinance this may continue as a nonconforming use if it is enclosed in a fenced area. The owner has been notified to move all vehicles onto his own property and fence the area from public view. The fence has been started and one section is complete. Materials and equipment are on the site. Vehicles are being moved from adjoining property. CONCLUSION: It seems although no specific area was mentioned that the area North of 79th Way mentioned by Mr. Breider would most likely be the industrial buildings along the West side of the railroad tracks. The apartment buildings along 79th Way seem adequate in appearance and maintenance and the residential area for the most, also appears adequate. The industrial area is being improved in those areas where we have proper authority under applicable ordinances and some problems will be eliminated this fall. However, a general plan for the area should be worked out so that a concerted effort could be made to improve the whole area at once, probably beginning next spring. In the meantime specific ordinance violations such as undue amount of litter or poor maintenance can be corrected as they occur. AL D. BAGSTAD Building Official -Inspector ADB/mh .
