WHEREAS, on July 29, 1959, the City Council, by resolution
known as Council File 193341, ratified the award of damages
awarded in the condemnation of lands necessary for the partial
opening and widening of a portion of Selby Avenue. The con-
demnation included the taking of the South 36 feet of Lot 15,
Block 5, Boulevard Addition, except that portion thereof pre-
viously taken for Selby Avenue. The owner of the property,
Susan Crosby (formerly Susan Kroska) appealed to the District
Court from the award of damages and is represented by Francis
Nahurski; and
WHEREAS, it appears that the take line runs through an
enclosed porch on the front of the house and the entire porch
will have to be removed. The difference in elevation between
the first floor and the grade of the new sidewalk would necessitate
a stairway with seven or eight risers; however, the take line is so
close to the house that there isn't enough room for a front stairway
and consequently a new entrance would be required which could be on
either side of the house. But again, there is insufficient room
for a side entrance due'to a driveway on one side and a very narrow
side yard space on the other side; and
WHEREAS, because of the difficulties involved in the reconstruction,
the Valuation Engineer has discussed disposition of the appeal with
counsel for the abutting property owner on the basis of increasing the
award and letting the owner remove the porch and use only the back
door for access until such time as the abutting owner can procure
additional land so as to have a side entrance; and
WHEREAS, it has been tentatively agreed that the amount of the
award should be increased from $8,000 to $10,000 and the appeal
from the award hereinabove referred to be dismissed; now, therefore,
be it
