Morgan Garner, Councilman, moved the City accepted bids for a double tennis court, fully lighted. Councilman Glenn Peterson seconded.

HENRY ISAAKSEN ASKS TO CLOSE DITCH BEHIND VILLAGE APARTMENTS ~ ~ienry Isaaksen asked thes+'C~uncil for permission to close the ditch behind l ,~ ~; .,~ 1 "ti _~ We the residents and property owners of "K" Street, in .~ ~ ~,~}- the City of Rexburg would like it put on .public record that we oppose our street being a through street into Jack Randall's proposed housing addition, north-west of the City. Our reasons for opposing are as followas 1. "K" Street is not wide enough to accomod~te traffic for thirty or more additional hornes; 2. residents are concerned about possible additional sewage and water problems; ~. there is also concern about the additional traffic being hazardous to the many small children on the street; (~ ~ c,~ , ,d ~-`,,~ 4. also, we feel that there has been no effort made to inform "K" Street residents about making "K" Street a through street to the proposed Randall Addition. Consideration to making "K" Street a through street would be made with the followings 1. that there be three or more accesses to Jack Randall's proposed addition. The accesses to be considered would be that on "K" Street, at the Taylor Addition, on nth West, and possibly through the Ricks-'Aade Subdivision. isle feel that three or more access roads would alleviate traffic pressure for any one street, especially a street as narrow as "K" Street. 2. Residents of "K" Street would like to be assured that there will be no additional sewage and water problems or the tearing up of existing facilities. 'ale would appreciate efforts being made and consideration from the City Council and planning board concerning this problem. f ~~?~ ; l`~ ~~.
