provides for parking on both sides, with enough room for the cars <br />to pass and enough setback from the kids on the sidewalks to <br />function safely. The City's equipment is restricted in its <br />abilities to get into limited areas. The snowplows have a wide <br />turning radius. The City would not be able to use their standard <br />equipment on the narrower streets. ~ <br /> <br />Davidson wondered what the liability of the City would be in <br />allowing residential development with an open ditch. <br /> <br />Gri ffith: <br /> <br />The question would depend upon <br />whether or not the construction of <br />the bike path in the area would <br />constitute a dangerous condition for <br />the users of the bike path. I'm not <br />sure that I could tell you the <br />answer to that without knowing more <br />about the distance from the bike <br />path to the ditch and what's the <br />likelihood of use of the ditch. I <br />think there is some potential there, <br />yes. There are ways to address the <br />potential !through fencing or some <br />other ways. <br /> <br />Davidson was concerned about the liability issue, the snow removal <br />issue, and whether this fits in with Louisville's growth control <br />resolution. If phasing were required, exactly when they would be <br />assured of getting building permits. <br /> <br />Leach explained that on the ditch issue, they would present the <br />resolution to the City Attorney. He stated that the ditch could be <br />piped with a 24" diameter pipe, which is an oversized pipe for the <br />capacity. He stated that Mr. Mayhoffer preferred that it not be <br />piped. It creates an additional maintenance problem for Mayhoffer. <br />He felt the snow issue was a non-issue, because he didn't feel it <br />wo~Lld ever get plowed whether it's a cul-de-sac or not. He wasn't <br />aware that this project would impact the growth control resolution. <br />He stated that if it does, they'll have to live with that. <br /> <br />Howard wondered if Leach would be willing to have this as a private <br />street, which would address the problem Of the City's ability to <br />maintain the area. <br /> <br />Leach stated that they decided not to do a private street, because <br />they're already impacting the people that will live on this street <br />design. <br /> <br />Davidson called for further Council questions. <br /> <br />NONE <br /> <br /> <br />
