ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS F ]L r$ Y • 1 ' Communication Presenting Resolution: Communication from Department of Highways submitting a proposed resolution was pre- sented and read, as follows: Olympia, October 17, 1933 Honorable Mayor and Council v City of Port Townsend SR #9, City of Port 'Townsend, Paving Washington Water and Taylor Streets, NRM-146-C Gentlemen: Your attention is directed to the fact that State Road No. 9 is officially routed through the City of Port Townsend, traversingnWater Street from Monroe Street to Walker , Street; thence southwesterly over private right of way secured by the State to the southerly corporate limits; also over Tyler Street from Water Street to Front Street and t crossing other certain intersecting streets and public thoroughfares. . The United States Bureau of Public Roads has called to our attention concerning en- jI croachments on the right of way of Federal Aid projects within the corporate limits of — towns and cities. For your information I quote below from letters received from the Die- 7 trict Engineer of the Bureau of Public Roads: -• Aa• �_ "Because of the difficulties which have arisen from such encroachment, Af • it will be necessary in the future where projects are submitted by any state which have any portion of the project within the corporate limits of cities or towns, for the state to submit an agreement with the town authorities that vy.,? no further encroachments will be permitted upon the right of way. "Y "During future field investigations of Federal Aid projects we shall care- fully inspect the routes through cities and villages and if there are encroach- f.; '�; ments within the right of way, inadequate street widths, or obstructions of any kind to the free flow of traffic, it will be necessary that you arrive at a y{ definite agreement with the municipal authorities relative to bettering these conditions prior to our approval of the Federal Aid plans." �,,�xF�"�•��r. !_ It is our understanding that the specific things which the Bureau is apprehensive ra- kN' jxl `ttJm garding are more particularly gas stations and pumps which are sometimes by permit author- ;; ized to encroach within the lines of established streets. This Department is particularly concerned in the present instance through its having .l made application for National Industrial Recovery Act funds to cover the project as a j whole within which the streets above referred to and other certain intersecting streets and public thoroughfares are a unit thereof. It is hereby respectfully requested that at sv•' the first regular meeting of the city council a suitable resolution be adopted which will embody the guarantee which we are required to make to the Bureau of Public Roads as in j r" accordance with their requirements as above defined. When such a resolution has been I{ adopted we should be furnished with four signed copies of same, one for our record and - sz y. files and three for submission to the Bureau of Public Hoads. We are enclosing herewith a I r} form of resolution for your reference and guidance to be used in connection with the above R request. We thank you in advanbe for your prompt handling of this matter to the end that there will be no misunderstandings as regarding the National Industrial Recovery Act funds for ( . '" which we have applied, and which is necessary in order that the j ��, pp , Y project can proceed accord- 1, n ing to the present schedule. f Very truly yours, LVM:RR L. V.
