<br />action this evening. That will give us a chance - I'm a little <br />concerned about just trying to do this sort of ad hoc here, <br />without having anybody really think about it and give some <br />attention to it. <br /> <br />WOMAN IN AUDIENCE: It won't make the street any wider? <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: No, the street won't be wider. <br /> <br />WOMAN IN AUDIENCE: Your yard will be less. <br /> <br />MRS. MARION LUNZER: Why does it have to be that far back <br />from the curb? <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: It doesn't have to be that far, but one of <br />the things we find that is good is not to put it up next to the <br />curb if we can avoid it. Otherwise, when a car goes by and <br />someone is walking along the side - they get splashed when it's <br />raining. This time of year - or let's say two weeks ago and <br />there was still snow on the ground - you'd find your sidewalk <br />covered with four feet of snow even though it's very pleasant <br />and most of the ground is now bare - the sidewalk is'buried <br />under the snow. You want to get it away from there a distance. <br />We also want to have room to put in no parking signs, stop <br />signs, whatever. We need to have a certain distance back on <br />that. <br /> <br />MRS. MARION LUNZER: Would that be cleaned in the winter? <br />Or do the people who live along there have to clean it? Or <br />don't we have to clean it? <br /> <br />ACTING MAYOR JOHNSON: We do not require the cleaning of <br />sidewalks. <br /> <br />MR. DALE LYMAN: The choice now is to walk in the middle <br />of the street, where it's plowed. At least in the summer <br />time you'll have a decent place to walk. <br /> <br />MAN IN AUDIENCE: I assume the boulevard is 18 feet wide <br />on a county road and youJre going to put this one foot from <br />my lot line or from the street? <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: If this is 34 feet wide - the pavement - <br />as proposed - there's roughly'another foot taken up because <br />of the curb - so let's say 35 feet. If it's 66 feet of right- <br />of-way, that leaves 31 feet, if my math is good. That's <br />16 1/2 ~eet on each side - that would be the boulevard. If <br />we moved it one foot in from the lot line and it's five feet <br />wide, that uses up another six feet. Then we're approximately <br />ten feet from the back of the curb. <br /> <br />MAN IN AUDIENCE: You're going from the curb. You're <br />not going from my lot line. <br /> <br />-9- <br />
