Mr. Hensley said that there was a possibility of different readings, and could be a problem in court, but it was a tool to �udge the density of smoke.

Mayor Kirkham said that a section on an appea3s board and advisory 6oard could be added, and it could be brought back at the next meeting. Councilman Samuelson asked if the people on the boards should be reasonably qualified.

Mayor Kirkham said that when this had come up before, he felt that if the house proposed by Mr. McClish was far enough away from the tri-pLex and if Mr McClish came up with a plan that would frt the lot the Council couLd approve it, but the rest of �he Council had not concurred. Councilman Harris said he was not as concerned with the building, but whether or not it was a buildable site He said that it either shouLd be on the tax ro11s or Mr McClish should be told that it is unbuildable, and he will let it go Eor taxes. The City Engineer said that the whole property was needed for the tri-plex, and without it the tri-plex does not have adequate parking. He sald that they could be told that they have to come up with something to get the adec(uate property required to m�et our zoning ordinance. He said, however, that he did not know how far this could be enforced It was poiated out that there have been several owners of the tri-plex and this could not be enforced against the present owner. Councilman Samuelson said that if the property goes for taxes, perhaps the tri-plex would buy it. There was a question of �ust how much of the property is presently owned by Mr. McClish.

TRAPPIC ROUTING AROUND SERVICC STATIONS ON 61ST AVENUE NORTHEAST: McClish Mayor Councilman Samuelson said he had noticed that the Building Board had an item on their agenda for an automatic car wash to be built next to the Texaco Station on 61st Avenue The City Engineer said that the chance of the pexmit being granted is very slim because two Lots would have to be taken for the proposed service drive It was st.;ted that the Shell Station was interested in buiLding another bay and modernizing their station, which would �ut out into the area the City is considering for a service drive on the other side oP the street, and they are interested in knowing whether the City is going to go ahead with their service drive plans Councilman Harris said that the City cunnct tie up the property unless some official action is taken He said he wondered zf it was not time to condemn the property on both sides of 61st Avenue, as it would be twice as expensive with a building on it. He said the Engineering Department could figure what was necessary and reasonable to acquire, and the road could be fit into what the City owned MOTION by Councilman Harris that the Administration prepare legal descriptions and start negotiation ar condemnation proceedings to procure the property around both service stations for a service drive Seconded by Councilman Sheridan IIpon a voice vote, there being no nays, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried. TtZAPPIC 0'V LUCIA LANE: Mayor Kirkham said that there have been a lot of complaints about the one- way traffic on Lucia Lane, especially when the Knights of Columbus building � � � REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING, SEPTEMBER 5, 1967 � is busy in the eveLZing. He said he had asked the Safety Committee to consider this, but he had called the Chairman this evening and they were not ready with anything yet He said that in the meantime he thought the Council could do something to aLleviate the problem. Councilman Samuelson suggested Chat the one-way be eliminated The Acting City Attoxrtiey said he was familiar with both the Monday night trafFic and the one-way street He said the purpose of the one-way was to get the traffic ta the signal light. He said that the dances are over at 11;3q which is the time of a shift change in the Police Department and at times there wi11 be 7 Policemen in this area, who have it cleared out by 11:40 P.M He said that this may be a disturbing problem, but it is of short duration Mayor Kirkham said that there may be a number of Pol�cemen there, but it is sti11 not doing the �ob, as it had been very bad the night before. Councilman Harris suggested that this be turned over to the Police Department aad rhey be asked for a report. Councilman Sheridan asked if the complaints were about the volume of traffic. Mayor Kirkham said that it seems the one-way forces the traffic out through the residential area, aad if the cars could go either way, this would alleviate the pro6lem Mr Gibbs said that there is no question they are going through the residential area, but the original idea was to get Che cars to the semaphore. He suggested that it may 11e1p if there were more police farther up Lucia Lane Councilman Harris said that they could try the two-way, and if it is not successful, go back to the one- way, MOTTON by Councilman Samuelso❑ to request the Police Department to make a � report at the next regular Council Meeting on the Lucia Lane Service Road regarding the advantages or dlsadvantages and safety of one-way versus two- way traffic.
