Village Clerk
Mayor
Mr. Sheedy requested information regarding setbacks
on Winnetka Avenue and Sixth Avenue North for the Olsen
property. Question was raised on the propriety of referring
the matter to the planning Commission inasmuch as it referred
to a zoning matter. Motion by ''utnam seconded by Stark
carried that the question of g the setback on Winnetka
Avenue and -possibly on Sixth Avenue North along the Olsen
property be referred to the planning Commission for their
consideration and recommendation.
The Village Clerk presented an affidavit showing publi-
cation in the Robbinsda,le Post of the notice of public hear-
ing on the nronosition to construct in improvement described
as follows:
The establishment of the grade, onening, widening, grading,
gravelling and blacktonning the service road adjacent to
Glenwood -Camden Parkway from the intersection of said service
road with Nineteenth Avenue North northerly to Xerxes Avenue
North;
which affidavit was examined, a.pnroved and ordered placed on
file in the office of the Village Clerk. The Mayor then
announced that the meeting was oven for public hearing on
said nro-oosed improvement, and all persons present who de-
sired to do so were afforded onnortunity to express their
views thereon. No objections to the making of said. improve-
ment or to the levy of assessments to pa,y the cost thereof
were made except as follows: None.
Discussion centered on the nroner width that should be
established for the Glenwood -Camden Parkway. The village
engineer indicated that the Minneapolis 'Dark Board owned
property on the north side of the pronosed improvement and
therefore the road would only serve owners on the south side.
He recommended that the width of the blacktop surface be
established at 20 feet. Motion by Pinch seconded by Stark
carried to establish the width of the blacktop surfacing
of the Glenwood Parkway at 20 feet inasmuch as the Minneapolis
Park Board owns all the nroperty on one side and homes would
only be built on the south side, as well as the fact that
the volume of traffic on the improved road would not warrant
a wider street.
Member Pinch then introduced the following resolution
and moved its adoption:
