PUBLIC ORAL COMMUNICATIONS BILL BARTON, 2917 N Avenue, was present and spoke in regard to property he owns at 1902 N Avenue, he stated he plans to improve the lot; however, Council had the opportunity to put a cul-de-sac at M Street from 19th to 20th; his property is now landlocked and he probably couldn't sell this property because of inability to get to the lots in the rear and there are drainage and grading problems. City Engineer Hoffland stated he looked at this situation and told Mr. Barton that the City's grading Ordinance requires a grading permit, at that particular time he didn't have a grading plan and was uncertain as to what the actual yardage was that he wanted in there; it was suggested he have a grading plan prepared to properly determine the volumes and property rate. Mr. Hoffland stated before he could build he would have to get a soil report on how the soil is compacted for the City's permit. Mr. Barton stated he would install the necessary pipe if it is purchased by the City.

Mr. Cole stated he would be in favor of this. BILL BARTON, 1503 - 14th Street, was present and asked how the occupants of the third house would get out to the street; City Attorney McLean stated it would be by a private drive, an easement. Councilman Pinson stated he had been opposed to this but since the neighbors seem to be in agreement he can see no need for further opposition.
