It was recommended that a public hearing on the proposed tax abatement (10 years full; 4 years at 50%) for nine apartment buildings being rehabbed by the Parkview Gardens organization be set for June 3, 1996 at 7:30 p.m. in the Council chamber. This level of abatement was previously given for similar projects in this area. Mr. Wagner moved approval of the Consent Calendar. Mr. Schoomer seconded the motion, which car- ded unanimously. PUBLIC HEARING - VACATING 66TH STREET SOUTH OF OLIVE The City Manager said a public heating was set for 7:30 p.m. this date and place to hear comments on the request from both adjacent owners to vacate 66th Street south of Olive to its dead end. The road is not needed for any public purpose and in fact has been mistreated in recent years. Following the hearing and consideration of comments, a bill may be introduced to carry out the vacation. In the interim, the adjacent owners request a license from the City to fence off the property. Mayor Adams opened the public hearing at 7:36 p.m. In response to Mr. Liebemmn, Mr. Ollendorff said the property owners on both sides not only agree to take care of the property but are anxious to do so because of its poor condition, and the City has no ob- jection to issuing a fence permit immediately. Mr. Wagner asked if there were any drainage or sewage problems on the street. Mr. Ollendorff said there were none of which he was aware. However, any easements would remain in place. There were no other requests to speak, and Mayor Adams closed the public hearing at 7:39 p.m. Mr. Schoomer moved that the City Manager be directed to authorize the construction of a fence in advance of the anticipated dosing of this street. Mrs. Thompson seconded the motion. Responding to Mr. Wagner, Mr. Ollendorff said the adjacent owners will pay for the fence and must get a permit meeting City standards to build it. All voted Aye.
