2 Nevada County NUGGET...Wednesday, May 29, 1963...Page 3
A (Continued from page 1.)
i} “One plan does the job in
one way, the other from a
little different aspect,” Warren said.
The state design engineer
explained that the original
. state plan was based on the
idea of feeding traffic into
the downtown area with a full
interchange at Broad St.
The DeLeuw, Cather plan
heightened the community
scenic value of certain areas
and buildings downtown and
made use of more wall con. struction on the freeway to
preserve these areas and
structures, Warren said.
_ Underthe DeLeuw, Cather
plan, Warren said, the state
would widen Sacramento St.
and improve portions of Coyote St., requiring all or parts
of 14 additional parcels of
land in the city.
In answer to a question,
Warren said that some area
for parking would be available under the DeLeuw,
Cather plan that would not
. be available under the state's
eties, and if not taken AI
e them, then offered to th
public at auction.
Warren refused tobe drawn
into an expression of his personal preferences, pointing:
out tothe council that it was
forthe community to determine its own values and to
pick the design of its choice.
He also brushed off a question ontheinitial cost of the
various designs, saying they
were very close to the same
cost.
Paine pointed out that Plan
C seemed to save the atmosphere of the community and
at the same time offered the .
ramps that merchants demanded.
Councilman Brickell also
noted that Plan C seemed to
satisfy the demands of merchants and those with other
_interests, He called it a
“very good compromise” and
moved for its adoption.
Councilman McPherson
seconded the motion.
Eddie Furano asked,
“Councilman Brickell, how
by which 4a freeway driver
can get to an area where he
can find a parking place to
do shopping.
But although he believed
that his firm's plan would
bring less congestion toBroad
St, , he refused to state it as
a fact because “it can't be
proved".
Jamart saidhe had “no objection” tothe ramps provided on Plan C,
Mrs. Jean Worth, owner of
the National Hotel, warned
that without the annex the
hotel would not be able to
continue to operate.
"If the hotel means anything tothe city at all,” she
said, then the city should
adopt either Plan C or the
DeLeuw, Cather plan.
Sven Skaar reviewed the
historical significance of
Ott's Assay office and the
South Yuba Canal and Water
Company office, and backed
Plan C because it would save
‘the buildings and satisfy the
merchant plea for Broad St.
ramps.

the plan be made public after
he and City Manager Charles
Smith pickedit up in Marysville the previous week.
McPherson explained that
he objected tothe plan being
introduced at that:time because it had never, to his
knowledge, been accepted
by the state as an acceptable
design that would not hold up
construction.
His objection to the plan
being presented for discussion ended when Chambers
voiced assurances that the
plan was acceptable and
w ould not delay construction, McPherson said.
Councilman Craig Davies
defended McPherson's position, saying that he, too,
had objected to the introduction of a third plan into
the discussion.
Warren presented Plan C
and drew the immediate support of Councilman Jack
Brickell, who said "it looks
very promising.”
Hart explained in answer
to Councilman Barry's quesBroad St. would pacify the
business people, and it is
comparable to Plan B (the
DeLeuw, Cather plan) to
pacify others who see other
values”,
He warned that the council must soon knuckle down
to see what can be done
about traffic problems and
about the possible widening
of Sacramento St,
Mrs, Florence Kendricks
interjected that the city
should start right now with
the original state design and
be done with it.
Hart assured Councilman
Barry that Plan C would not
delay construction. Money is
expected in the next fiscal
year and construction is expected to begin in the Spring.
Mayor Carr asked if there
was anyone present with objections to Plan C. There
were none,
The council voted to adopt
Plan C, without a dissenting
vote,
Mayor Carr adjourned the
meeting, and proponents of
