TESTIMONY
Condition #5: Commissioner Tillinghast asked if there are any normal
conditions whereby curbed sidewalks would be required within the
boundaries of the tract. Doug Payne replied that the standard requires
that a plot plan be approved by the Planning Department, and that
particular concern would be an issue of the plot plan approval. He
stated that it could be attached to the plot plan requirements if
desired. Commissioner Tillinghast stated his concern is if there are
to be sidewalks on the interior roads. Mr. Britton stated there is
some provision for sidewalks in front of the buildings, but not a
continuous provision next to the curb. Commissioner Allen questioned
if curbs and gutters wouldn't provide better drainage.
Conditions #16 and #22: Commissioner Tillinghast commented these two
conditions duplicate each other. One of them will be deleted.
Condition #31: Commissioner Tillinghast asked, with regard to the
distribution system, if any thought had been given to 8 inch diameter
