1366 spouting on top of our roof. A fellow grabbed a girl who was visiting at our house. One of the fellows caught him, but he was so strong, he couldn't hold him. There isn~t any lighting system at all. It is dangerous. Neighbors ia~ro doors dawn had window peepers last night. I think a lighted lane would be more of a nuisance. If the Village did maintain the lane, it wouldn't be like we do. Grahams The City of St. Paul doesn't maintain Boulevards. Each citizen is supposed to cut the grass and shovel the snow because they get the advantage of having a boulevard. Mayor Nilsen read Dahlgren's report, which was summarized as follows ~It seems to the best advantage of all property awnera in the neighborhood and the village to have the des- ignated walkway rroperly maintained for its intended pur- pose. This facility should. include a concrete walk of from !~ to 5' in width in the center of the existing 12 foot right of way with 3~ to 4 feet of grass or shrubbery on either side maintained by the village." Nilsen stated we have hired planners to help an such prob- lemsas this and we have a Planning Commission, and he would recommmend that we do not make any hasty decisions with refer- ence to this matter. Coppinis i think we are making an extreme case out of this, We have people up here who have requested the vacation of this walkway and I recommend that we vacate it and I so move, Hefty:. The neighbors all had special notices and haw many are here? None, Warkentiens The people most interested were not notified. Nilsen: We are now reaching a stage in our progress as a Village where we are going to havd to consider some of these things, Going back to your Motion, Paul, I don't think it is a matter of such urgency. Shavors IP we hold our Hearing, do we have to make our decision tonight? Grahams i don't think so. You should have a reasonable time to make your decisions. I donut think you should close the hearing. I think you should continue it. Warkentiens I donut think the Planning Commission will go against Dahlgrents recommendation. Imhoff: Either we will take the property over and maintain it or the Village should take it over and maintain it, Shavors You have done a good fob of presenting your points and you brought out things I wouldn't have thought of. Geisen has a bad situation. The Council will probably have to put a walk through the lane. Nilsen: I am hesitant to act on it tonight.
