Findings for Consideration Right-of-Way Internal/Local Streets District policy 7204.4.1 and Figure 72-F1A requires 50-feet of right-of-way on local streets. This right- of-way allows for the construction of a 2-lane roadway with curb, gutter and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalks. The applicant is proposing 50-feet ofright-of--way for al! of the fnterna! Iota! streets. This right-of-way meets District policy and should be approved with this application. 2.

The total street width shall be 36-feet from back-of-curb to back-of-curb. Variations of this width may be allowed, depending on traffic volumes forecast to be generated by the development. Concrete sidewalks shall be a minimum of 5-feet in width unless they are separated from the curb 5-feet or more in which case the sidewalk shall be a minimum of 4-feet in width. The applicant has proposed 36-foot street sections with 5-foot attached sidewalks. Thrs proposal meets district policy and should be approved with this application. 3.
