I am writing on behalf of my sister-in-law, Shannon Hinchey, who will be married at the
home of John and Judy Hinchey, my mother and father in law, on August 16, 1997 at 5:00 p.m.
In that regard, I would like to inquire into the possibility of having the 500 block of Fourth
f, Avenue East blocked off from 4:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. on August 16th, which is a Saturday
4 evening.
I have discussed this potential road block with Donald Hossack, the Assistant chief of
police, who referred me to your office. Additionally, my mother-in-law, Judy Hinchey, and I
have talked to all of the 500 block neighbors about a potential roadblock, and there are no
objections to our proposal.
I understand pursuant to my conversation with Mr. Hossack that it may be necessary to
formally propose this action to the city council. If that is the case and I need to be present at
the next city council ineeting, please let me know. Additionally, if 1 can provide any other
information to assist you in considering this matter, please do not hesitate to call. Thank you
very much for your time and assistance.
Very truly yours,
Jul nne Hinchey

SUBJ : Closure of the 500 block of 4' Ave E, request for
ADDISON H. CLARK
Chief of Police
DONALD A. HOSSACK
Asst. Chief
As you know, the Hinchey family is requesting the closure of 4'
Avenue East for the entire 500 block. The purpose of the request is to
facilitate a wedding at 534 4' Avenue East and they desire to close the 500
block on Saturday the 16' of July from 4PM until IOPM.
This closure would not negatively impact police services nor the
Public Works Department according to Jim Hansz. However, I have some
concern regarding our Fire Department's access to that block should there be
a fire. I have asked the Fire Chief to comment to you regarding this issue.
Although the neighbors may not object to the closure there may be
some inconvenience to travelers using 4' Avenue East. This inconvenience
should not be a major problem but it may prompt a phone call or two.
To date I have made 3 phone calls and left 3 messages for Ms. Hinchey
to please call me regarding her parking plan on 4' Avenue East. They should
tell us whether or not they plan to completely block the street with parked
vehicles which would effectively block Fire Department access.
