Planning File 1076 - Calvin Garley request for variance to ordinance requiring sidewalks at 2670 and 2680 North Oxford Presentation Mr. Garley indicated that he could acknowledge the need for a sidewalk on Oxford Street, but due to the topographical differences between the building side and the. road, am the apparent lack of connection to any existing system that he would request that he not have to construct the sidewalk along County lbad C as required by ccrle. Discussion Mr. Dahlgren indicatErl that several years ago the Council set a policy by the adoption of the sidewalk portion of the o:rdinance that all new develop:nent of R- 3 or IIDre be required to place sidewalks along the periphery of their properties. In this way, over a pericrl of years, portions of sidewalks would be constructed so that at sare future date all that would be needed is to fill in the gaps to canplete a bikeway system. He went on to indicate that the City had recently applied for bikeway grants along County Road C on either side of Mr. Gar ley , s proposed developrrent; one grant application being from Lex- ington to HaInline along the southern edge of the Civic Center carcplex and the other grant application being fran Terrace to Victoria on the north side of County lbad C. He suggested that as Mr. Garley was opposed to construction of the sidewalk, it may be amiable to the Council for him to oonst:roct a bituminous bikeway in its place. Mr. Garley indicated that this was;.,,i possibility, however, to do any construction would require filling the existing ditch and he asked if either the County or the City would be in a position to share either the cost or the materials needed for this project. Mr. Don Janes, 2690 Oxford, indicated that he favored sarething there, as the existing bikeway located in Central Park connects to Victoria sonewhat south of the intersection of County lbad C and Victoria and a potential destination of walkers could be the bus stop located at the intersecticn of HaInline and County Ibad C, which he uses for his daily travels to and fran work. Mr. Garley then asked if he coo1d have titre to consult with the City and County about the possibilities of sharing in the construction of the required sidewalk.
