00505when this plat originally came in it was proposed that 207th, based on the
Official Street Map, would be a through street connecting to 88th. Therefore,
the engineering requirements at that time were based upon 207th being a through
street, and when there is a through street.sidewalks are required on both sides.
He said that now that the Official Street Map is changed the engineering require-
ments should be modified, and the requirement would be sidewalks on one side of
a deadend street. He said the sidewalk would be acceptable on either the north
or south side of the.street. The public portion of the hearing was -then opened,
no one wished to speak, and the public portion was closed.
Mr. Larson was asked if he had a recommendation for the paving width, relative
to the possibility that there may be developed a cul-de-sac off of 207th to the
north. He responded that he did not, that the 28' of ultimate paving would be
MOTION: adequate. Regarding P.C. Resolution 570, A MOTION WAS.MADE BY COUNCILMAN GELLERT,
��,,,,,,, SECONDED BY.000NCILMAN CARNS, THAT THE CITY ATTORNEY BE INSTRUCTED TO REDRAFT THE
PROPOSED ORDINANCE AS FOLLOWS: DELETE THE REFERENCE.TO A TURNAROUND IN THE TITLE
AND IN THE TEXT; DELETE THE PORTION REMOVING 88TH AVE. W. FROM 206TH ST. S.W. TO
MAIN ST., FROM BOTH THE TITLE AND THE TEXT. Councilman Clement expressed concern
about sidewalks for schoolchildren, whether they be actual sidewalks or some kind
of walkway. He said it appeared that pedestrian travel spots protected from the
streets were being eliminated in new developments. Community Development Director
Joe Wallis responded that when you put in curbs and sidwalks on both sides of the
streets you lose the atmosphere for which people move to Edmonds. He felt two
sidewalks were appropriate in intensely developed areas, but not in residentially
developed areas, and the issue was aesthetics versus safety. THE MOTION THEN
CARRIED, WITH COUNCILMAN CLEMENT VOTING NO.
Regarding the approval -of the preliminary plat of Maplewood Arbor, the developer
said he would be willing to put in a gravel walk on the south side of 207th St.
if that was desired. Mr. Larson, however; said gravel walks create maintenance
problems, and that would be all right on a temporary basis but for the ultimate
MOTION: plan future maintenance problems should be considered. A-110TION 14AS MADE BY
