Fitzpatrick, Secretary-Manager, for a permit to have commercial driveways across the City sidewalk on the east side of Guadalupe Street between Third and Fourth Streets, and also to have a special shaped sidewalk ramp for a portion of their property on Guadalupe Street between Third and Fourth Streets. We, your Committee, have made investigations and have found that the driveway request is standard. The special ramp requested calls for the use of five feet of what is considered the regular sidewalk area and is not standard. The ramp, as proposed, will be separated from the sidewalk area to be used by vertical obstruction of not less than six inches in height. Inasmuch as this proposed improvement is in a strictly industrial district where the entire sidewalk area is in some places occupied by raised platforms, we recommend that the permit to construct a special ramp and driveways be granted, subject to same being done strictly in accordance with the attached plan No. 2-H-36, and that all grades and lines shall be secured from the City Engineer before the commencement of any construction and that grades shall be so arranged that no commercial waste water will flow across the City sidewalk area and that all waste water shall be concentrated into a sump on the property of the applicant and carried from said sump to the nearest City storm sewer at the expense of the applicant.
