Toe Ralph Martin rROKa Dick Benson RE1 Blaine Ave. DAM June 20, 1972 Ronald Kullberg owns the Ronnies Cleaners located at the Inter- section of County #15 and Blaine Ave. The cleaning establisiwient that faces Blaine Ave. is set back 78 feet 7 Indus with a parking lot between the building and street. We have three problems that require our attention, the problems are listed " follows, 1. During construction of the water plant and mater mainsg the con tractors involved used or parked heavy equipment on the parking lot causing it to unravel in several areas. 2. Upon completion of the restoration It is impossible for people traveling either north or south to distinguish between Blaine Ave. and Kullbergs parking lot. Blaine Ave. is only 15 feet wide including right-of-way. The street is 1,056 in length and at beat can accommodate one way traffic. Cars traveling cn Blaine Ave drive on and speed through the parking lot to Highway #15 mating a hazardous 49nditlo4 which is not enhanced by the stop sign bung reinstalled in the wrong location. 3• Ronald Kullberg has decided to install guard rail posts on his property line separating his parking lot from the street. Establishing these lines will complicate the street maintenance in this area. With G & 3 Cabinets located on one side and guard rail posts on the other, two cars traveling in q�:.osite directions is not possible particularily in the winter months when snows choke the width of the street. These solutions are recommended 1. Have responsible parties repair the parking lot with contractors monies or construction funds. 2. Reinstall the stop sign. 3• Install one way traffic signs on Blaine Ave. allow- ing traffic to travel in one direction "South" to County Road #15. This will allot residents to retain their short out route to #15. Respectfully submitted, ck Bo n
