06/15/87 <br />Centennial Conceptual Plan amendment (master plan) <br />approved in 1985. <br />Tom Hoyt, President, McStain Enterprises, showed <br />slides of various developments where sidewalks on <br />one side have beer- built. Mr. Hoyt stated that he <br />was unable to find any evidence one way or another <br />regarding the safety issue of having narrower <br />streets with a sidewalk on one side only. There <br />seems to be an ab:;ence of statistics with respect <br />to Council's concerns. He stated that he would <br />address any concerns Council may still have <br />regarding the development. <br />Anderson asked Mr. Hoyt the nature of the home <br />owners association for The Grove. Mr. Hoyt <br />responded stating that the association would have <br />a defined landscape function and architectural <br />control. It is a :non-profit organization with <br />lien rights making this type of organization very <br />effective. The developer must set up a budget in <br />the beginning and fund any deficit in the annual <br />budget up until there is 75$ occupancy in the <br />subdivision. This 75$ rate automatically triggers <br />a turnover to the ]zomeowners themselves. <br />Szymanski continued to question the sidewalk <br />issue. Szymanski observed people all over town <br />utilizing sidewalks -- walking, pushing strollers, <br />roller skating, etc., and regardless of age, <br />people use sidewalks for a multitude of <br />activities. Szymanski feels that sidewalks <br />provides a safe place for these activities. <br />"There is a reason for them, there's a need for <br />them, and I believE~ we should require them in the <br />City." Szymanski will not support this <br />development with sidewalks on one side. <br />Carnival can not sL~pport this development with <br />sidewalks on one side from the stand point of <br />aesthetics. Any neighborhood that is part of the <br />City should have sidewalks on both sides of the <br />street. The rural atmosphere within the City <br />limits that McStairi is trying to create is not <br />compatible with neighboring developments. <br />Carnival stated that this is not appealing to him <br />nor does he feel it is appealing to the City. <br />Anderson stated that from the standpoint of <br />creating a well-rounded community, and the <br />quality of life issue that is very important, <br />variety in neighborhoods helps to establish those <br />things. This type of concept does create that <br />variety. Anyone wishing to purchase a home within <br />this development would have a clear view prior to <br />2 <br />
