There was general consensus that specifics with regard to when they <br />were necessary and who constructs them is in order. At the January 13, 2000 Park Commission <br />meeting, the Commission approved a draft resolution that addressed sidewalk/trail siting and <br />construction responsibility. It was acknowledged that a resolution may be adequate to define this <br />policy until the terms could be incorporated into City Code. Staff recommended that an <br />ordinance may be more effective because the review and changes to the subdivision chapter of <br />City Code, based on the. amended Comprehensive Plan, may take many months to complete. <br />Further, an ordinance puts prospective developers on notice of their obligation and is less <br />subjective than a resolution. <br /> <br />Commissioner Jensen stated that she agreed with the wording that was included in the draft' <br />ordinance. <br /> <br />Commissioner Dempsey stated that all cul-de-sacs should be exempt from the requirement <br />because in most situations a sidewalk/trial would not be needed. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/February 1, 2000 <br /> Page 7 of 10 <br /> <br /> <br />
