The applicant is requesting that sidewalk requirements
be waived for all streets except those required on
collector streets for the following reasons: (1) The
property being developed is very steep. (2) Problems
with side hill cuts will be compounded by sidewalks.
(3) There are no sidewalks and no subdivisions
previously developed adjacent to Pleasant Heights. (4)
The lots are extremely large, thus eliminating density.

C. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW
The item was reviewed and passed to the Commission.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (6-30-87)
The applicant, Mr. White, was present. The staff offered
its objection to the waiver request. Mr. White discussed
the grade problem pointing out the issues on a graphic. The
cuts and possible retaining walls would increase costs
significantly. After a brief discussion, the concensus of
all parties involved was that the sidewalks be waived on the
cul-de-sacs running west off the Saddle Hill Street
extension and that sidewalk be required on one side of
Saddle Hill. A motion to this effect was made and passed by
a vote of 8 ayes, 0 noes, and 3 absent.
