However, in this particular de velopment, they were trying to make the <br />impervious surfaces as small as possible in an effort to preserve as much of the nonpaved <br />area as they could. He indicated they had not considered putting in sidewalks in this <br />development, but noted if they did, the righ t-of-way would need to be widened. He <br />stated a sidewalk would be nice in this de velopment, but there was a tradeoff also in <br />order to preserve the open space. <br /> <br />Chair Rafferty stated the developer had done a good job on this development and <br />commended him for that. He stated he liked the idea of a give and take and to work <br />through the process to get this done, but asked why was there 57 homes, instead of 56. <br />Mr. Schoenbauer replied the extra lot came in because the lots along the cul-de-sac were <br />the most expensive lots and when the cul-de -sac was taken out, the developer lost an <br />economic benefit, so therefore he, not the de veloper, recommended this lot be added to <br />make up for those lost dollars a nd to preserve more open space. <br /> <br />Mr. Laden asked if the temporary cul-de-sac wo uld be constructed to the standard cul-de- <br />sac requirements. Mr. Studenski replied it would. <br /> <br />Mr. Hyden made a MOTION to close the pub lic hearing at 8:06 p.m. and was supported <br />by Mr. Tralle.

Mr. Rafferty replied that was a possibility. <br /> <br />Chair Rafferty asked if the Board wanted to address the Growth Management Plan issue <br />now to help in the decision making process. <br /> <br />Mr. Root suggested they table this item and discuss the next item and then come back to <br />this item. <br /> <br />Mr. Root made a MOTION to table item 5A until after discussion and recommendation <br />of item 5B and was supported by Mr .
