City Council Regular Meeting Minutes April 11,2000 • Page 7 1 Julie Kimbllin, 2705 29th Avenue, inquired if four-foot sidewalks would be possible (instead of 2 a five-foot), and a possible reduction of the boulevard from six feet. 3 Mr. Hubmer responded that the typical sidewalk is five feet to allow for passing and the width of 4 the boulevard would assist in reducing the potential for roots from trees to invade the concrete. 5 Hodson stated that he would be comfortable going forward with the project if the community 6 could be involved in the development process. 7 Cavanaugh stated that the purpose at hand is to agree to a concept, and then develop the specifics 8 and details at another time. In other words, if the concept plan was approved, and the community 9 and City can find a way to modify the width of the boulevard and sidewalk, that would be the 10 core and the next step would be the specifics of the plantings and lighting. 11 Mr. Hubmer explained that he would review the state-aid requirements to determine if there was 12 a,possibility of reducing the boulevard width and/or the sidewalk width. 13 Sparks suggested presenting a series of plans to offer the residents to review some design alterna- �4 tives. 15 Horst reminded the Council that the concept needed to be adopted first.
