City Clerk Campbell stated the Certificates of Publication and Affidavits of Mailing for the three hearings were on file. Planning Director Gerschler stated the Planning Commission has recommended in favor of these items as listed on the agenda. HOWARD KING, 2226 E. 5th Street, was present and stated he has the only house on the east side of the street that has been built in the last 35-40 years; eventually all of those old buildings will come out of there and down to where he lives, those people have paid for a curb years ago; I can't see an old house that is going to be razed putting in .a new curb; the only one who would have to put in a curb up there would be me. Mayor Morgan explained that the Council is doing nothing more than setting down plans for the future, if people build up there, we're telling them where the street would be; the City is not telling to put in curbs or take out housing. Mr. King also stated that two years ago City crews tore up the street in front of his house; and he would like the City crews to come back and fix it up before it starts to rain again. Mayor Morgan stated if Mr. King would put in curbs, the City does supply temporary paving to cover the street.

JOSEPH LIZIAK, 1405 E. 17th Street, was present asked for an interpretation of SP-17-76. Planning Director Gerschler stated in this case all of the streets shown on the Specific Plan are already improved. City Engineer Hoffland displayed a map of the area and Mayor Morgan stated that if in the future the people want to put a street in, this plan will show where it will go; people will be able to plan around the street; the City is not buying, selling, or doing anything but telling them where the proposed street will go. City Engineer Hoffland explained that the existing dedicated roadway for 17th is 30 feet wide, half of the street width; only half of the street is dedicated and the City's plan would require additional setbacks from the ultimate property line and allow the right-of-way to be the same as it is up and down the street; right now it is not dedicated on the east half, it is paved and so forth but not dedicated. City Attorney McLean stated that this plan will not affect Mr. Liziak adversely; we are simply saying for planning purposes the City will not allow future buildings to be built within this area. DAISY LIZIAK, 1405 E. 17th Street, asked what was going to be done to the little end of 17th, which is located west, that runs a deadend street. City Engineer Hoffland stated that this Plan doesn't affect that area; it is not proposed that that street go through.
