Mayor & City Council Page 3 September 22, 1994 * The size of the proposed radius. The agreement and minutes say the radius is supposed to be 50 feet. This is impossible to do without taking an additional 12.5 feet on each side of the street. The homes would then not be able to meet setback requirements and the pavement would then extend within a few feet of the front door. I believe the intent was to have a 25 foot radius cul -de -sac on the 50 foot right -of -way. * Curb boxes are installed at the edge of the right -of -way. In this case, we would have to put them further back into the yard to avoid damage when removing curb and gutter at a later date. * Lastly, installing a cul -de -sac would impact more than the two lots where the road is being installed. Constraints in the area in which the developer must work will make the finished product look more like a "T" intersection instead of a cul -de -sac. It should also be noted that this issue differs from current situations such as Bluwood and Australian in that this area has the ability to develop further to the south whereas the existing dead end areas without cul -de- sacs have no option of doing so. While I believe putting turn - arounds in are a good policy, we must look at each case separately and weigh all the merits.
