Falls City Council approves downtown sidewalk project

(KLZA)-- The Falls City Council Monday evening approved a request from the Falls City Chamber of Commerce to remove and replace the sidewalk in the 1500 block of Stone Street where the Stone Street Amphitheater & Park will be constructed.

The cost of the project is estimated at $92,120 and will include installation of 260 feet of curb utilizing 2,000 square feet of concrete, a handicap ramp and footings for two light poles.

The City is completing the demolition and removal of the existing sidewalks and curbs as well as hauling away the concrete debris. This will be a portion of the City's in-kind contribution toward the project.

The Council also approved part of the requests concerning an application for two additional equine and 2 goats on Levi Jones properties at 1215, East 17th Street, 1201 East 17th Street and an additional parcel on East 17th.

Chuck DiGiacomo asked the Council not to approve the request due to the smell and flies as his property abuts the undefined 17th Street property.

The City Council has recently adopted resolutions regarding the keeping of chickens in the city and annually reviews the request for renewing animal permits in the city.

Council member Joe Buckminster said he would be in favor of having a set, maximum number of animals allowed for each animal permit request in the future.

Jones agreed not to use the property next to DiGiacomo and the Council approved the additional animals on the other two parcels of land.
