Mr. T. W. Cole, representing Firs. Pearl Temple recuested tl.e council to raise the curb at 2205 College Avenue . Nr. Cole stated it was impossible to irrigate the property since the curb was installed. I The following letter %ea from the City ingineer was read: ii June 16, 1958. Mr. T. W. Cole 1102 Arthur Caldwell, Idaho Lear Sir: I1 I` At the ree,uest of "ouncil - man Finley and Councilman �horb, I am writing you in regard to the grade for the curb and gutter in front of the property owned by Mrs. '1 Pearl Temple at 2205 College Avenue. I have again reviewed the design and discussed it with these Councilmen. Thedesign was made to pit the existing oil such that the oil would drain into the gutter. There is very little fall from the oil to the gutter now and raising the curb any more would require either relaying the block or adding a lift to the present oil. The Council, at the time of the formation of this district, I I: agreed to waive any charge as far as oiling was concerned for the area between the existing oil anr- the gutter. It was originally planned in prelimi-.ary discussi ns to Charge this to the property. f"' I It has been the policy of the Council anc of the Planning Commission to kee? uniformity B in the design .f streets. I, therefor, cannot permit properties to raise the curb in front of them as tais would make varying curb heights in every curb =d block. I would not change from the standard curb and gutter without a directive from the Council, and g as I ^ave said u) above, it is their policy to keen the curbs uniform, i I believe with the proper sloping of the area ad acent to the curb, this property cen be improved such that it will irrigate. If core fill is needed, it can be improved such that it will irrigate. If more fill is needed, it can be supplied from some of the excavation on other streets. This fill dirt is not most desirable since much of it has some rock in it; however, with selection, we could )robably supply the amount needed. Yo ^re truly, Isl Melvin G. Lewis ! City Engineer. Moved oy.Blomgdist, seconded by Luby the Council re- affirm the policy set by the Engineer for curb Ij and gutter. I U)on (toll Call it a�Deared the motion was unanimously c - _ I i The following letter was read from the Planning Commission: City Council , City of Caldwell, Idaho i. Gentlemen: A'. a s meeting of the Caldwell Planning Commission held on June 10, 1958 the commission passed a motion to the effect that the City Council request i the State Hiway Department to extend Blaine Street South 7 ast to a point in the North Boundary line of the .SW,NE Section 1, Townsl e North, Range e West of the Boise Meridian in lieu of the ?resent proposed haway program of making hiway 3D a 'bur lane hiway between Jeorgia Avenue and Florida "venue. 3� It being the thinking of the commission that this would open up a vast new area for future commercial and indo,trial expansion near a ma;or hiway, ` railroad with gas and power being imnediately available.
