r <br /> 06/15/87 <br /> Centennial Conceptual Plan amendment (caster plan) <br /> approved in 1905. <br /> Tom Hoyt, President, McStain Enterprises, showed <br /> slides of various developments where sidewalks on <br /> one side have been 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 absence of statistics with respect <br /> to Council's concerns. He stated that ha would <br /> address any concerns Council Bay 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 taking this type of organization very <br /> effective. The developer Bust set up a budget in <br /> the beginning end 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 homeowners 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 support 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 McStain 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 vary 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 />
