<br />PUBLIC HEARING, CONTINUATION OF HEARING ON PROPOSED OFFICIAL PLAN LINES FOR FUTURE STREET THROUGH LOTS
<br />17 to 19, VALOTA PARK, BETWEEN VALOTA ROAD AND THE END OF KANSAS STREET. The Clerk read a letter
<br />submitted by Renato, Elisa and Beatrice Bianchi and Renata and Guido Guidi, owners of 22 acres of land
<br />on Valota Road, comprising a portion
<br />of Lot 19, Valota Park. Their
<br />letter asked the
<br />Council to accept
<br />this communication as the approval of
<br />all the undersigned regarding
<br />the development
<br />of any and all
<br />streets effecting their parcel of land. Robert Dell'Ergo, representing Mr. Knecht and Mr. Battaglia,
<br />spoke against the proposed plan lines. Mr. Dell'Ergo spoke at some length on the problem of the
<br />cul de sac, the dead"end spur -which wbuld exist between Knecht's property and the cul de sac, the
<br />location of Mr. Knecht's greenhouses and the cost which would be involved if they had to be moved
<br />or purchased and finally of the situation wherein Mr. Battaglia has built a $17,000 home which is in
<br />the center of the proposed plan lines. On the basis of the new plans and because the present plan
<br />lines are not realistic, Mr. Dell'Ergo asked that the plan lines for any section of the south side
<br />not be accepted.
<br />Robert Kilcline, property owner on Virginai Avenue whose lot would be made a corner lot if one of the
<br />new proposed plans is adopted, spoke against the extension of Virginia Avenue. Mr. Stuart, owner of
<br />Lot 6, Kansas Tract, spoke in favor of Kansas Street being extened through to Valota Road. Mr.
<br />Greenwold explained the thinking of the Planning Commission. This was followed by a very lengthy
<br />discussion. Councilman Weiss moved that the public hearing be closed, seconded by Councilman Stout
<br />and carried.
<br />Councilman Britschgi moved that the plan lines, as submitted, be denied, seconded by Councilman
<br />Spillers and carried. Councilman Stout moved that this matter be referred back to the Planning
<br />Commission along with the other plans that were submitted tonight for possible solution, seconded by
<br />Councilman Weiss and carried.
<br />CITY MANAGER REPORT ON REVIEW OF ITEMS REFERRED TO IN COUNCILMAN WEISS'S LETTER OF AUGUST 6th AND A REVIEW
<br />OF ITEMS LISTED AS "INCOMPLETE". Councilman Spillers moved that the letters be made a part of the minutes,
<br />seconded by Councilman Britschgi. Councilman Weiss amended the motion that the subject involved is
<br />of sufficient importance that these letters should not be made just a part of the minutes without
<br />being read to the public. The Mayor should set a special meeting for the expiration of his letter
<br />and the City Manager's letter. This was followed by discussion in regard to a special meeting or a
<br />study meeting. Councilman Weiss withdrew his amendment. Councilman Spillers added to his motion to
