• was placed on first reading and read in £ull,
In connection with Bill No, 3, Judge Emery Newell questioned the
exception of sidewalks, He said fie felt sidewalks should be
required for safety. Mr, Gene Armstroag, who would be responsible
for this development, said that wider than ordinary streets would
provide necessary safety and elinination of sidewalks would add to
the aesthetic value of the homes, Mr, Armstrong also stated that
people who are buying his homes do not want sidewalks - that this
type of house takes up the biggest portion of the lot, The lots
are 130 by 150, Council stood firm in their decision to have Bill
No. 3 plaeecl on first reading,
Council stated that this development would be in an isolated area of
the Village, with very little traf]'ic, and therefore the safety
factor of sidewalks would not be that important a factor. Also,
' Council £elt that the wider-than-ordinary street would provide
enough safety. Councilman Everard moved that the proposal be
withdrawn from second reading to give residents more tame to express
their views on sidewalk requirements, but his motion died for lack of
a second.
Speaking from the audience Paul Emend and Keith Nichols, both North
Palm Beach residents, favored a sidewalk exception. Mr. Nichols '
indicated that sidewalks would be of more interest to potential
purchasers than to present residents.
