Dennis Sullivan Chairman J. J. Lafferty Member Roy Lindsey Member City Clerk Youngblood informed the Mayor and City Council that he had on file the affidavit of posting. Mayor Leighton instructed the City Clerk to read a communication on which he complied as follows. Port Townsend 3, Washington September 15, 1058 Honorable Lady Mayor and ® Members of City Council, Port Townsend, Washington. Dear Madam and Gentlemen: It is most unfortunate that the City Council of Port Townsend must consider n case of vacating an opern city street. A goup of people have banded together in an effort to gain ® valuable property at the expense of another tax payer and neighbor. It is my sincere and honest belief that no sane person will sigh a petition asking closure of his only approach and entrance road to his property unless lie has some sininster idea of forming another approach opern to his property, which would mean gaining property without payment. What access would a purchaser of Lots 1 and 2 in Block 40 and Lots 7 & 8 in bloc 41 have, if this 57th Street were vacated. Vacating of 57th Street is the start of an organized attempt to have all side streets from Kuhn Street leading to my property vacated, 1 right down to 49th street and therefore, force open this socalled Pettygrove Street, which does not exist, or lead anywhere. Should this 57th street be vacated, then it will be only a matter of time until this some group will petition you, the City Council, for opening of Pettygrove Street. One must only study the city records, where wou will find the some "back of scene" group petitioned the City Council to vacate all streets leading into my property from Kuhn Street for the sole purpose of forcing the city to build Pettygrove street, which would be almost impossible, due to its tepegrophy and cost. Mr. Hawley is an employee of the City Street Dept, and Mr. Arey is his superior, it is plai to see which way the wind blows. Again, I wish to urge the City Council to take immediate steps to re-establish this 57th Street, but should Irou gentlemen of the City Council grant the vacating of 57th Street, then it is my wish to petition you at this time , and now, to grant vacating of Pettygrove Street, if not already done so in the past. Due to this ticklish situation and pressure loom outside groups, I wish to suggest that the City Counci vote in secret ballot. Yours very truly, Albert Follme. Mayor Leighton asked if their were any objections in the vacating of the above mentionel street. Mr. Follme produced a map and asked the City Council to look it over. Councilman z pmry made a motion and seconded by Councilmen Swinhoe to hold a five minute recess. Upon roll call all seven councilmen present voted in the affirmitive and motion carried. REGULAR ORDER OF BUSINESS RESUMED Upon roll call all seven councilmen were present. Mayor Leighton asked the council if *e had reached a decision. Councilman Sullivan said that Mr. Pollme had at least 12 or 13 way of entering his own property and as there was only a half a street to be vacated and woul 1 like to ask Mr Follme why he objected to the vacating. Mr. Follme replied that he did not need that street at the present time butt was only looking forward to the future. Councilman Mueller said their were no need for a secret ballot and to bring it to h head made a motion that the street be vacated and the City Attorney draw up the proper ordinance Seconded by Councilman Swinhoe. Upon roll call vote all seven councilmen voted in the affirmitive and motion carried. Mr. Follme upon that requested the vacating of Pettygrove street and was informed that Pettygrove street did not exist although it was shown on the • older maps. Mr. Harms spoke to the Council on opening street in Foirlers park where he is building a new residence. Mayor Leighton referred the request to the sewer and street Committee and Street Superintendent Arey - Mr. Kunz addressed the Mayor and City Council and said that he did not believe that the ® City should close any street that their has been to many vacations in the past. ADJOURNMENT , As there was no further business to come before the Council at this time, it was moved by Councilman Sullivan and seconded by Councilman Lindsey that the meeting bdjourn. Upon roll call vote all seven councilmen present voted in the affirmitive and motion carried. MAYOR 4 ATTEST l' -1-��1�"Y�W " ClyC er— / i I i i e
