The Petitioner is requesting the elimination of sidewalks on the cul de sac, to increase the permitted length of the cul de sac, to increase the minimum lot widths on 4 lots, to permit parkWay trees on private property, and, a pavement width of 27 feet. The Plan Commission has reviewed these requests. Due to the location of the subject property and the configuration proposed, it would be necessary to create a cul de sac off Wildwood. It was noted that Wildwood is presently an unimproved roadway approximately 14 feet in width with no sidewalks and/or curbs. There are 3 existing houses and one vacant lot on Wildwood. The Petitioner stated that Wildwood is approximately 700 feet in length and he would widen 300 feet to 27 feet, even though that portion of the roadway is not included in the subdivision. ~ There was discussion as to whether the residents on Wildwood should pay the balance of the cost to improve Wildwood Lane. Page 5 - November 8, 1989 Fred Lutes, 306 Westgate, stated that his home is located on the corner of Westgate and Wildwood and the Village required him to install sod, sidewalks, etc. when his home was built and he would object to having to incur that expense again.
