From: J. �iilli� Do�odaa, Val�aation �ngiaeer
Date: da.niuu'y 5, 19'Tl �.
Sub�ect: Opesiag of de�sa�ine Avenue f5rom Albert Str�et to �ttelli�g Avenne
?his order ca�es befor� the City Cmnacil based on a petition of C. �. A�in
➢evelc�p�nent Cc�pany by C. �. xeis, I�res. and Coluffibia Tran�it C�rparatio�
by Martin E. Wa1sh, Pres. The o�nership of the vari0us prc�perties �.butti�g
the proposed iaprorre�ent a.a of this date are as s}aan�n on the attaehed plan.
�rders for the openiag of the sub�ect portio�a oP Jessaaine Aven�a� and related
ord�rs hare previously been before the City Gouncil. Infor�ation on the�e
ordera is coatained in �y report dated �eceaber 31, 1970 give� you.
I �.ve �ade a, thorough st�dy of tkia current praposal. Informational meetings
were beld rith the various inter�sted or affected property oxners and I xish
to note particularly the follm�ring facts:
1. The 60 Pt. ride strip petitioned. to be opened is entirely c�xned
by the C. G. Rein Developffient Cc�rpa.ny. Ro e�,scmeat na�exi at s
over this la�d which did exist When opening �s originally
petitioned in July, 1966.
2. Tl�is strip ot land is currently fiproved vith a� roadway snrfaee
of very minitial design and aerves aa pri�e a0�ree of aceess to
th� Colvffibia ?ran�it terxina,]..
3. The exi�ti�g roadbed surface does sot �eet the Hep�rta�eat of
Public Works �inimum staadard� and therefore Put�are i�provement
orders are aaticipated. �he eost for said i�proveaents wonld
be aasessed again�t a11 abutting o�rners in proportion ta benef its
r�ceived.
4. The Railroad prc�perty along the portion propo�ed. to be opened i�
approxi.aately 19(� feet in xidth or depth and this lauid is
preaently served by street naae].�r 3chroeder Road.
Baaed oa the varicus facts and circwmstaace� as eited above, it is my recom-
mead�tion hat this order e di�coat m�ed. Should the petitioners of this
order require ssid street it is auggested that they dedicate said l�nd to the
City for sgch a pnrpoae.

Two alternate proposals to proceed yrith this c�rder are as follo�rs;
Proposal No. 1
Damages to be paid for the land taken based on the values used in 1969 with
f'u.]_l assessment back against the properties abutting the subject street on
the north in proportion to their frontage on said street. This will result
in following estisna,ted assessments or payments to owner.
Columbia Transit - $38,08�+ assessment
C. G. Rein Compan�r - $38,�+68 payment to owner
Maxtin E. Wa1sh - �3$1+ assessment

Proposal No. 2
Dama.ges to be paid for the land taken based on the values as us�3d in 1969
with fb,l.l assessment back against properties abutting �he proposed street
both on the north and the south. 2'he assessment would be in proportion to
the property frontage on the street with the exception of the property on
the south where a reduction of frontage should be allowed because of the
shallow depth of the property and because of its elevation �th respect to
proposed Jessamine. Z'his will result in. the follc�w-i.ng estimated assessments
or paymen� to owners s
Colwnbia Transit - $21+,175 assessment
