UNFINISHKD AND NEW nUSINrSS Re: Kuvshinoff Street Vacation Request By invitation bf the Mayor, Mr. Nicblii Kuvshinoff a))oke before the Council relative to his previous request for the vaodtion of Cass Street between Water & Front Streets, Mr. Kuvshinoff stated that he would like to ask that the Council give this request further consideration. He gave as his reasons therefor his desire to make extensive improvements upon his property abutting the street on both sides; which would be of value to the Uity, and particularly to erecta sea wall completely across the water front face of his property to protect it from further storm damage. Councilman Mueller stated that the rejection of Mr. Kuvahinoff's application had been made because it was felt that the' vacation of this street could not be considered to the best interest of the city as a whole. Councilman Steele stated that it was felt that street giving access to the water front were toovaluable to the public as a whole for fubure devel- opment and that the city should retain control but that it might be well to lease such stree a pending actual need as public throughfares. It was moved by Councilman Steele and seconded by Councilman Osborne that this matter be referred to the Cofittee on Streets and Sewers for a report to the Council at the next regular session. Motion carried. Re: Improvements to park City Engineer Keith F. Jones presented to the Council plans for park improvements as considered necessary and advisable at present and also for a continuing program; stating that such plans had been requested by the park board because of the objections of the Health Dept. to present practices, particularly with regard to the trailer camp area.
