Box 2309 Kansas City, Kansas 66110 Re: United States Postal Service General Mail Facility Salina, Kansas WCEA File: 82-053 Mr. Ridge: SALIN^. KANSAS 67401 ENOIN66RS ARCHITECTS PLANNERS An Equal Opportunity ■ Empby.r Our Company has been retained to prepare plans and specifications for the new Post Office in Salina. The site for this facility is the block bounded by Fifth Street on the west, Fourth Street on the east, Elm Street on the north and Ash Street on the south. All existing buildings on this site will be demolished. The entire block will be occupied by the new Post Office. Construction on this site will require relocation of an existing 24 -inch sanitary sewer. Constructing the new sewer along the east edge of the site appears to provide the most space for construction. From a maintenance �y7 standpoint, the better route would be approximately ten feet east of the lLi( east property line. Construction along this route would require abandoning an existing spur track as shown on the enclosed print. At this time the United States Postal Service foresees no need for rail service at .this site. We would appreciate you reviewing the proposed construction and notifying us if this is acceptable to the Union Pacific. If the proposed route is acceptable, we would appreciate knowing of any special requirements for removal and salvage of the rails, ties and ballast. SALIN^. KS 0 KANSAS CITY. KS ■ WICHITA.

As mentioned yesterday on the telephone, Union Pacific does not own the land underlying trackage on Fourth Street north of Prescott Street. Taxes are paid, how- ever, on the basis of an assessment per mile as deter- mined on the Kansas Department of Revenue. Therefore, taxes have been paid on the railroad facilities along Fourth Street. The 1982 assessed value per mile of main track of the McPherson Branch is $35,796.72 and $4,687.57 per mile for side track. Please contact me if you have any further questions. Very truly your s, L.

KANSAS 67401 Re: Width of Driveway for New Post Office at Fifth and Ash Streets WCEA File: 82-053 Dear Sir: ENGIN EERS ARCHITECTS PLANNERS An Equal Opportunity ■ Employer We respectfully request exceptions to the maximum of 30 feet for driveways as noted in Section 35-132 of the Salina Code effective January 1, 1983. The requested exceptions are: 1. The access off Ash Street for the public parking area south of the new postal building. The proposed width of this driveway is 33 feet back to back of curb. Ingress and egress to this parking area without encroaching on the other driveway traffic lane requires this width. 2. The access off Fifth Street for the mail trucks. The proposed width of this driveway is 41'-4" back to back of curb. Ingress and egress of the tractor -trailer mail trucks for the loading dock area require extra width. If the proposed width is not provided, encroachment into the opposing traffic lane on Fifth Street will result. The proposed driveway widths are the same as those discussed with you in November 1982. Enclosed is a print of the paving, grading and drainage plan for your use during review of this request. We appreciate your consideration of this request. WILSON & COMPANY Charles D. May, P.E.

DATE: 16 August 1982 FILE NO: 82-053 JC Dowell met with Don Hoff and Dean Boyer, Utilities Director, to discuss several items regarding the water and sewer relocations. The Pre -Concept Submittal Preliminary Plan and Site Layout was reviewed in detail. The following items were discussed: 1. The City will insist that the new 12 -inch waterline be connected to an existing 12 -inch line rather than the 10 -inch line located in Ash Street. This will require an additional fifty feet of 12 -inch line, but will elimi- nate one street crossing as shown on the Pre -Concept Submittal. 2. The City approved the concept of abandoning the existing railroad spur on the east side of the site for construction of the new sewer line. Mr. Hoff suggested that Wilson & Company contact Mr. Ray Norvell with Union Pacific in Kansas City. 3. Mr. Hoff will forward a copy of correspondence from the UPRR that states the City still owns the 4th Street right-of-way. 4. Mr. Hoff supplied copies of City standard meter setting details. The Owner will be required to furnish the meter vault and yoke. The City will furnish and install the meter. 5. Pre -cast concrete manholes are acceptable for sewer construction. 6. All existing easements and alley rights-of-way have been vacated. wmh PHOENIX. AZ • SAUNA. KS • KANSAS CRY. Ka • WICHITA. KS • HAYS. KS • ALBUQUERQUE. NM • COLORADO SPRINGS. CO
