STAFF AGENDA
THE CITY ENGINEER reported on Petition Number 3699, filed by J. Elliott
Richard for permission to construct a recessed parking area at 1113 Faith Drive,
and quoted the Salina Code, Article VII, Sections 32-116, 32-116(9), 32-130, and
32-130(4).
''Faith Drive is only 32' in width and the parking between the curb and
the property line is only 13.5' in width. Both are inadequate to meet the
requirements of the code.
''Faith Drive and McAdams Road and the only two streets with ingress
and egress to Faith Addition. Due to the geographical location Faith Drive
carries most of the traffic.
''Parallel parking is now permitted on boh sides of Faith Drive. It
becomes a hazardous condition for vehicles to back out of driveways and recessed
parking area into a narrow traffic lane.
'It is the recommendation of this office that Petition Number 3699,
for recessed parking, at 1113 Faith Drive be denied.''
Mr. Elliott Richard was present and said there are numerous duplexes
and one apartment building that have recessed parking on Faith Drive and that
recessed parking would eliminate some of the parallel parking, and it would not
be a bad idea to get some of the cars off Faith Drive.
Acting Mayor Graves suggested that petitioners be notified when a
report on their petition will be on the agenda.
A motion was made by Commissioner Geis, seconded by Commissioner
Simpson to accept the recommendation of the City Engineer and to deny the
Petition. Ayes: (4). Nays: (0). Motion carried.

A LETTER was received from the Salina Park Advisory Board, "At their
regular meeting of June 13, 1978, the Salina Park Advisory Board unanimously
voted to recommend that a five member committee, with two Park Board members
included, be appointed to conduct a contest for the naming of the new park in
southeast Salina. The Board also voted to accept the offer by the Salina Journal
to print a coupon in their newspaper and to post a $250 prize for the winning
entry. This five member committee would contact the other news media to invite
their participation in the contest, which would be scheduled to start in July
and continue for 30 days.
"It was also unanimously recommended that the following parcels of
land, presently included in the parks system, be disposed of and the money be
reverted back as park funds:
1.
That part
of
Thomas
Park on the east side
of US 81;
2.
Park No.
1,
located
north of North Street
and east of Broadway;
3.
Park No.
2,
located
west side of Broadway,
between North and
Logan;
4.
Park No.
3,
located
west of Broadway and north
of Ash; and
5.
Park No.
5,
located
at the southeast corner
of University and
Broadway.
"A motion was unanimously approved to recommend the development of
Park No. 7, located south of Village Missionary Church, between Osage and Broadway;
into a neighborhood park."
Mr. Olson explained the City could not sell the property and retain
the money in a separate fund, that the proceeds from the sale of land must be
deposited into the general fund, then in the subsequent year budget, budget the
cash carry over and budget a like amount as an expenditure.
Commissioner Simpson suggested the little voting building on Putnam,
and any other unused and surplus property could be disposed of at the same time.
Mr. Bengtson suggested the matter be referred to the staff to be
checked, as some of the property might have been dedicated to the city for park
purposes only with a reverter clause, and after the research has been done on
the pieces of land, decide at that point if they are or are not to be sold.
A motion was made by Commissioner Duckers, seconded by Commissioner
Geis to accept the recommendation of the City Attorney and refer the matter to
staff to be researched and to report back on the best procedure to dispose of
the land as soon as possible, and to dispose of it. Ayes: (4). Nays: (0).
Motion carried.
Acting Mayor Graves asked the Salina Park Advisory Board to assume the
responsibility for naming the 5 member contest committee, and to hold a contest
to name the new park in Southeast Salina.
Mrs. Ann Jett, Park Advisory Board Member, was present and said the
board would be willing to conduct the contest.
Acting Mayor Graves also thanked the Salina Park Advisory Board for
their many volunteer hours, and for their speedy recommendation.
