<br />However, city ordinance requires the adjacent property owners to clear snow from sidewalks along their <br />properties. Some of these properties will have hundreds of feet of sidewalk as these are larger lots than <br />normal. Additionally, the city will need to maintain the sidewalk on certain parcels that will be owned by the <br />city. A typical 10-foot trail could be maintained with a pick-up truck and a plow, but the parks commission <br />recommended a 5-foot sidewalk instead of the trail due to the number of driveways. The plans approved with <br />the preliminary plat included a 5-foot sidewalk separated from the main roadway by a drainage ditch. <br /> <br />Staff recommend widening the roadway section to include the sidewalk along the edge of the road and <br />delineating the sidewalk area using pavement striping. This will reduce the maintenance burden for residents <br />as they will not need to maintain the longer than usual sidewalk sections, and it will reduce the city's <br />maintenance costs as the walking area will be cleared at the same time as the streets are plowed. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />None <br /> <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br />Support the growth and development of the community. <br />Improve citizen quality of life. <br /> <br />Attachments <br />1.
