Mr. Loren Hockemeyer, l161 ElIrer, felt this developrrent would create additional traffic and expressed concern about the safety of people who are getting off buses on Rice Street and walking to their hones. Mr. Markus indicated that they would be willing to install a sidewalk in an agreed upon nu.nber of ronths after the storm sewer was installed. He asked hON much roney would be required to be placed in escrow for the future construction of the sidewalk. Mr. Drown indicated that, at present, the best estirrates are about $10. 00 per running foot. Mr. Markus asked that if an arrount of roney were put in escrow nON and it would be insufficient to pay the cost of the sidewalk when it is constructed, what the responsibility of the land owner would be? Mr. Dahlgren indicated that the money placed in escrON would be placed in a City account and it was hoped the interest earned on the roney would pay for the increased costs of the sidewalk. He indicated that if this were not the case, that the City would pay for the additional cost. Recomrendation Mr. Rukavina roved and Mrs. Cushing seconded that the Corrmission reco:rrrrend approval of Antler Corporation's request for variance to sidewalk requirement at 2015 Rice Street with the condition that the applicant submit an arrount of funds, to be determined by the Public Works Director, to the City to establish an escrew account for the construction of sidewalks pending developrrent of a stonn sewer system.

Dahlgren also indicated that the City records shew there has been no easerrent given for the North 30' of Judith Street. Mr. Daniel Comrers, owner of the apa.rt:Irents, indicated that he proposes to convert the existing sleeping roorrs and party roorrs into four efficiency apartments.
