MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS: Design standards for public roads. Planning and Engineering would like to explore the idea of decreasing the standard width of subdivision street right-of-way from 60 feet to 50 feet for urban cross sections (curb and gutter streets). A 5 foot landscape easement would be added along the right-of-way to accommodate street trees. Also suggested is that straight lengths of roads in subdivision be decreased from current maximum of 1,500 feet to 600 feet. Curve radius would also be decreased from 150 feet to 100 feet. These changes would provide more flexibility of subdivision street design. It is also being proposed to decrease the front yard setback from 40 feet to 30 feet along subdivision streets. Once again, more flexibility in lot and road design. The sewer lateral costs would also be decreased. After discussion of the above issues, it was the consensus of the Plan Commission that these suggestions would need to be studied further.

Commission approved Resolution #P.C. 18-98 for the plant selling operation for Mr. Ruszkiewicz from May 1, 1998 to July 1, 1998 and May 1, 1999 to July 1, 1999.
