The City is just attempting to secure the necessary right-of-way for improvement at some point in the future. Mr. Torgeson had previously asked that Staff check with the county in regards to this. They weren't aware of any recent court cases dealing with acquiring right-of-way. Staff also checked with theCity Attorney and they felt that the acquiring of the right-of-way was permitted by our current City Ordinance. Celia Strong, Public Works went into detail of the long range role of the street improvement plan, and City Council's position on Ordinance 555-78. Celia added that these are the minimum improvements permitted under 555-78. Much discussion followed with Mr, Hummel, Mr, Torgeson and Mr. Simpson expressing concerns about the reouirenerts established by Staff. APPL.ICANT'S COMIMENTS Mr. Henry Newton, President, Luther Child Center Mr. Newton stated tonight was the first time he had heard of Conditions Number 9 and 10. He didn't understand this as the facts have not changed. They have no problem with Number 9. He expressed a concern about signing a blank Power of Attorney. They have no objection to the right-of-way along 46th, as the curve at 44th ' and Federal is a great speed deterrent. Exhibit #4 Planning Commission Minutes February 13,1980 0
