Agenda Bill No. �oE)O Date: November 29, 1971 _
Referred To:
Subject: Landscaping Plan - Parkway at Grand Avenue Submitted By:
and Madison Street Public Wks. Dir.. and
Parks & Recreation Dir.
Statement of the Matter
Considerable difficulty with the property owner has been encountered
over the cleaning of property situated on the northwest corner of Grand
Avenue and Madison Street. A few weeks ago, Fire Chief Anear supervised
a volunteer crew and cleaned up any possible fire hazard on the property.
This week our Sanitation Inspector contacted the resident about piles of
tree trimmings around the house and was told to leave them alone as they
were used for fire wood. Part of the property am which there are weeds
belongs to the Mayfair Market and they will clean their portion.
Parks and Recreation Director Johnston has designed a landscaping plan
that will screen the property. The idea can also be a typical bus stop
in areas where we have wide parkways. The estimated cost of the work is
$2,260. Mr. Johnston has indicated that certain individuals are willing
to contribute toward this project. The Mayfair Market also has indicated
their willingness to fence their portion with .grape -stake fencing.
