"The property now developed as commercial was so zoned when much of the neighbor- ing property was developed and sold as residential. "At the time the commercial property was developed, parking was permitted on one side of Walnut Street. "Since that time, due to the narrowness of Walnut, an ordinance was passed pro- hibiting parking on either side of Walnut from First Avenue West to the alley. "Subsequently, at the request of R. W. Halberg, 1155 Walnut, we extended the park- ing restriction to Jeannette Street due to the constant blocking of his driveway by parkers. This report does not consider disturbing that ordinance. "The proposed widening, and payment therefore. by the primary beneficiaries is not unique and in the past it has been the City's practice to permit such altera- tions so long as the change does not work an unreasonable hardship on others. "The practical effect of the proposed widening is to leave as much room for traffic as presently exists under the parking ban, and to permit the merchants parking in front of their stores such as existed prior to the parking ban. "The area residents, as signified by approximately 100 names gathered by Mr. Heiberg, protest that the two trees, to be removed in the process of widening reprOsent a visual buffer and that their removal would, in effect, be an intrusion of the commercial development into the residential area. The two trees involved are elms approximately 40 years old. "The commercial section invoiged has offered to plant two substantial trees in the remaining parkway after the proposed widening is accomplished if such widening is ‘2' o L V j -4- 6/18/62 approved by the City Council. "We, your Committee on Streets and Traffic, therefore recommend: that the pro- posed St widening of Walnut Street from First Avenue west to the Alley between First Avenue and Jeannette Street be permitted subject to the following conditions: 1. The work will be done by the City and the entire cost born by the commercial interests involved. 2. Parallel parking only will be allowed at this location. 3. Sufficient parkway shall remain to accomodate the planting and healthy growth of trees. 4. That the commercial interests involved will bear the cost and responsibility for purchasing and planting two four year old trees following the completion of pavement widening."
