August 30, 1960
To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council
Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
I recommend that Schedule II
or Ordinance 33-49 be modified so
.--
i
422 Adjourned Regulaz Session, September 6, 1960
as to include the following streets
as boulevards:
A. Devon Drive from Dodge to the
northerly property line of Min-
eral Street.
B. Mineral Street from the easterly
property line of Devon Drive
to the easterly line of O'Hagen
Street.
C. O'Hagen Street from the north-
erly line of Mineral Street to
the southerly line of University
Avenue.
It is further recommended that
Schedule III of Ordinance 33 19 be
modified so as to include the fol-
lowing as stop street intersections:
A. Pearl and Gilliam Streets.
B. Peazl and Finley Streets.
Finally, it is recommended that
Schedule VI of Ordinance 3349 be
so amended as to remove parking
from the easterly side of OTlagen
Street from Mineral Street to Uni-
versity Avenue.
It is the intent of the above
recommendations to provide a cer-
tain freedom of movement and
safety for traffic between Univer-
sity Avenue and Highway No. 20
along the above mentioned streets.
In order to accomplish this, it is
necessary to protect the intersec-
tions of Mineral, Devon and O'Hag-
en Street from cross street traffic,
and also protect Gilliam and Fin-
ley Streets at their intersection
with Pearl Street; also, in order to
create a condition of smooth traffic
flow, it is necessary that parking
be removed from one side of
O'Hagen from Mineral to Univer-
sity.
Respectfully submitted,
Gilbert D. Chavenelle,
City Manager
Councilman Schaller moved that
the recommendations be approved
and referred to the City Solicitor
to have proper proceedings pre-
pazed. Seconded by Councilman
Schreiber. Carried by the follow-
ing vote:
Yeas-Mayor Takos, Councilmen
Schaller, Schreiber, Schueller.
Nays-None.
Vacancy-One.
August 30, 1960
To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council
Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
It is recommended that Schedule
II of Ordinance 33-49 be amended
so as to include Kaufman Avenue
as a boulevard street from the
West Property Line of Central Aw
enue westerly to the West Property
Line of Kane Street.
Also, it is recommended that
Schedule VI of Ordinance 33-49 be
amended so as to provide a "no
parking" restriction on the south
side of Kaufmann Avenue from
Central Avenue to Francis Street
and on the north side of Kaufmann
Avenue from Francis Street to
Valeria Street.
The above recommendations are
based on the fact that since the
opening of the Wahlert High
School, traffic volumes on Kauf-
mann Avenue have increased tre-
mendously. It is expected that
further large increases will develop
particularly in view of the planned
completion of Grandview Avenue
extension.
In order to alleviate some of
the dangers now existing in the
area, it is believed that Kaufmann
Avenue should be made a boule-
vard from Central Avenue to the
West Property Line of Kane Street.
In addition, that portion of
Kaufmann Avenue between Central
and Valeria Street is congested and
hazardous to moving vehicles when
parked vehicles occupy the curb
space on both sides of the Street.
In order to alleviate this situation,
it is requested that all pazking
should be restricted on the south
side of Kaufmann from Francis to
Central and on the north side of
Kaufmann from Francis to Valeria
Street.
The reason for the change of
sides in the "no parking" regula-
tion is to preserve the parking area
along side Hartig Drug Store at
22nd and Central and at the same
time, in the section west of Francis
Street, to preserve the parking on
that section of the street fronted
by most of the residences. In creat-
ing a "no parking" zone on the
south side between Francis and
Central Avenue, there are actually
only three or four spaces being
affected because of the existence
of bus stops, street intersections
and several driveways along this
distance.
Respectfully submitted,
Gilbert D. Chavenelle,
City Manager
Adjourned Regular Session, September 6, 1960 423

August 3Q, 1980
To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council
Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
The petition of Richard Riessel-
man and others requesting the
installation of street lights at the
intersections of Sabula and Daven-
port and Primrose and Davenport
Streets was referred to the City
Manager and Electrical Inspector
for investigation and report.
Upon investigation and report
by the Electrical Inspector, it is
recommended that street lights be
installed at the following locations:
1. Intersection of Sabula and
Davenport Street.
2. Intersection of Primrose and
Davenport Street.
Respectfully submitted,

August 26, 1900
To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council
Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
On June 6th, you referred to
the Manager and the Street Com-
missioner, the petition of John
John F. Roshon, 1398 Pine Street,
requesting that the city lot at
14th and Maple Streets be fenced
in order to preclude children play-
ing on the lot.
It is both the recommendation
of the Street Commissioner and
myself that the fence should not
be constructed at this time for the
following reasons:
1. It is estimated that the re-
quired fence would cost in the
neighborhood of about $400 to
$450., and that the necessary
large gate and its mounting
would cost approximately an-
other $100. It is recommended
that the City not make this
expenditure at this time.
2. The city equipment has not
suffered any damage as a re-
sult of children playing on
the lot.
3. The location, although used
for the purpose during the
past months, is not considered
a permanent arrangement for
the storage of city equipment.
Another site is being consid-
ered.
4. The expenditure, if made,
would benefit only a single
abutter without the city opera-
tion being improved to any
great extent.
I have written Mr. John Roshon
a letter stating that my recom-
mendation to the City Council was
that the fence should not be con-
Stl'UCted.
Respectfully,
Gilbert D. Chavenelle,
City Manager
Councilman Schaller moved that
the recommendation of the City
Manager be approved. Seconded by
Mayor Takos. Carried by the fol-
lowing vote:

To the Honorable Mayor

At your last meeting you refer-

a petition of the Dubuque Bank
and Trust Company for permission
to relocate a bus stop at the corner
of 14th and Central to a position

City of Dubuque
Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
On July 26, 1960, Mr. A. M.
Meyers, filed his claim against the
City for damages in the amount of
$75.00 by reason of the sanitary
sewer in the vicinity of claimaat's
home backing into the floor drain
of his basement.
I have investigated this matter
together with Mr. Cletus Allen,
Street Commissioner, and find that
at the time alleged the sewer crew
was flushing out this line and that
claimant's lateral has a very little
fall to the sewer, and that Mr.
Meyer has been notified on several
occasions to place a backwater
valve in his sewer line.
It is the opinion of the City
Attorney that there is no negli-
gence on the part of the City im-
posing liability therefor, and there-
fore recommend denial of Mr.
Meyer's claim.
Original claim is attached here-
to.
Respectfully submitted,

City Solicitor be approved. Second-

To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Dubuque, Iowa.
I wish to thank you for your
attention to our Petition dated
June 17, 1960, relative to flood
protection. I am again writing on
behalf of our clients, Caradco, Peo-
ple's Natural Gas, A. Y. McDonald
Company, Klauer Manufacturing
Company, Jacrobson, Interstate
Power Company, Kretschmer &
Treadway, Farley & Loetscher, and
Spahn & Rose Company, in regard
to said Petition.
In view of our informal discus-
sion of the problems involved, it
is our considered opinion that a
formal agreement between the
City of Dubuque and affected in-
dustry is not now necessary in re-
lation to a dyke for flood
protection as requested. Our cli-
ents stand ready to do everything
possible to afford flood protection
in the event of flood stage, to
protect the area involved; and, of
course, we understand and realize
from the discussion of the Council
and the City Manager that every
reasonable effort will be put forth
by the City to afford as much
flood protection in the City as is
possible in the event of flood
stage.
Tn view of the above considera-
tions, we do hereby withdraw our
petition dated June 17, 1960.
We thank you for your courtesy
and the time taken in regard to
the request of our clients.
Yours very truly,

GER
