The $82.50 per lot assessment which has been placed on our property, we do not feel that we owe because we had our curb and sidewalk poured for our two lots in 1954. The sidewalk and curb was City inspected and approved at the time we had the work done. We paid for a sidewalk permit and the City Engineer's surveyed, graded and laid out grade stakes for our curb 6 sidewalk. Earlier this year, your construction crew broke up and removed our sidewalk 6 curb and also damaged our walkway to the house and closed the entrance to our driveway. We feel the walkway, curb and sidewalk should be replaced free of charge to us because we paid to have this work done with the City's approval and do not feel that we should be charged again." /S/ Milton Norwood, Jr. 2.

PAT THOMPSON spoke from the floor as a representative from the Board of County Commissioners, Franklin County. The Commissioners are quite interested in obtaining vacation of Henry Street as requested between the West Right of Way Line of North 4th Avenue and the East Right of Way Line of North Arthur Avenue. It is their intention to call for a bond issue for the purpose of building a new Courthouse. The vacation of Henry Street in this location is necessary to enable them to build a courthouse at their selected site. It is also necessary to furnish proof of the vacation of this street to the HHFA. The HHFA agrees to the site if this vacation is permitted. This bond issue is to be presented to the public for vote in November, 1965. The City Manager read a letter submitted by Lyle Balderson, Secretary to the City Planning Commission, dated July 26, 1965. "At the regular workshop meeting of .the Planning Commission held on July 26, 1965, the matter of the vacation of Henry -Street was dis- cussed. It was the opinion of the Planning Commission that the petitions to vacate the street be denied for the following reasons: 1. No real justification for vacating the street was put forth by the applicants. 2. A lack of access to Fourth Avenue would be created from the residential area to the west. 3. An•increased fire hazard would be encountered with the access for fire trucks substantially reduced. 4. A traffic problem would be created with additional traffic being funneled through the intersection of Sylvester Street and Arthur Street." /S/ Lyle E. Balderson The City Manager pointed out that this letter was written prior to the time the County Commissioners presented their plan for their building project and possibly would not apply at this time. Mayor Carter read a petition pre- sented to him with signatures of nine (9) property owners containing fourteen (14) signatures: 704 W. Henry, 712 W. Henry, 716 W. Henry, 724 W. Henry, 715 W. Henry, 711 W. Henry, 719 W. Henry, 720 W. Henry, and 708 W. Henry. These property owners were in agreement with the request to vacate. THE MAYOR DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED: CJ r n Motion made by Griggs, seconded by Bailey that this be turned to the City Manager and City Attorney for research so that something can be worked out to give Franklin County what they have requested, and if possible, an Ordinance or Resolution to be presented at the next regular meeting.
