518 present time. Mr. Nieman stated he believed most of the Village streets have a 30-foot roadway, and to require the developer to show a 60-foot road would pile to much expense on I~1r. Hermes, and in that case would consider withdrawing his plat j and doing nothing. Engineer said he appreciated the position Mr• Hermes is in and the problem Carley he has to develop his property as cheaply as possible, but that he did not follow the reasoning for not opening up the 60-foot street. Carley said the 60-foot street has no connection with what has been done elsewhere, also where this has not been done properly that we are paying the price, and that it never will be corrected unless we open streets at a standard width. He said if homes are.to be constructed on the east side, the Village will be forcad in the not distant future to widen the street. If a performance bond is secured, this assures that the street will be improved according to Village standards, Carley said. ndr. Carley said the Village may require a performance bond or assess the cost against the benefited property. Attorney Graham In questioning Cdr. Carley, Attorney Graham brought out that the questions Carley present roadway is on the 33 foot strip and that this is a 20-foot street. As to the Village roadways being 30 feet, Mr. Carley said that the new plan calls for 32 feet, allowing for boulevard tree planting and snow plowing service. As to construction cost, ?Ar. Carley said this could be done from a long range standpoint for $~Lt,,.~iQO. CtO... He said thg counc~.l may assess the costs but this is something that will have to be worked out. The other way he said would be to add 10 feet on the east side. Mr. Carley advised the councii~that they should have a policy of asking for 60-foot streets or half of 60 feet on the property line of teach proposed plat, stating that this had been the custom from the beginning in filing plats in this County. Attorney Graham said he believed it was for the Planning Commission and Council to determine if they should waiver from the 60-foot street, and asked if the council is willing to assume part of the cost, assuming we are going to require 60 feet. It was also pointed out that a survey would be needed before putting in the road and to determine what the costs would be, Planning Commission Lorris ~lilliams, Chairman, Planning Commission, in restating their position, said that they stand for the b0-foot width and believe this is good community planning.
