He stated if they went with a 29-foot road width, they would need to put in a <br />sidewalk. Mr. Grochala stated this woul d be a shift in policy where the homeowners <br />would be required to maintain the sidewalks. <br />Chair Schaps also expressed concern about the 29-foot road and the inability of <br />emergency vehicles to get through. <br />Mr. Corson stated he understood the narrower roads in the past were allowed where they <br />were attempting to save trees. Mr. Grochala stated the street st andard was 32 feet, but <br />there were many streets in the City that were smaller than that. <br />Mr. Lyden expressed concern about the consiste ncy of this plan with the Comprehensive <br />Plan. He stated he understood at 2001 the population was 17,002 and he assumed <br />another 100 homes were built this year. He stated that put th e population at 17,322. He <br />stated one piece that was missing was th e number of homes that had already been <br />approved, but not built. He stated the goal again was at 2010 was to have a city <br />population of 17,820. He stated if there were 253 homes already in the works, they were <br />already at their 2010 goal. He stated it was clear to him that they did not need the 2010 <br />growth. He stated the whole idea of the Comprehensive Plan was to have a balance <br />between commercial and residential. He stat ed this was not a bad plan, but at some point <br />they needed to see if they we re going the right di rection. He stated he would be happy to <br />approve these homes if it was w ithin the 2010 goal. He stated they were already 8 years <br />ahead of themselves. He stated this was not balanced growth a nd it would not get them <br />to where they needed to go.
