Grand Island and its 2 mile extra-territorial jurisdiction. (C-07-2014GI)
O’Neill opened the Public Hearing.
No members of the public spoke in favor or against the proposed changes.
O’Neill stated he would like to see the narrowing of the width of a standard for
a residential street to 31 foot or even 27 foot. Noting by allowing the smaller
streets this could save up to $6000; also it would slow down traffic and reduce
the city’s requirements for storm water runoff.
O’Neill closed the Public Hearing.
A motion was made by Bredthauer and was seconded by Connelly to approve
the amendment to §33-12 by recommending the Street Standards of Residential
streets be 32 foot wide which would be the minimum width the City can have or
by special request have a 27 foot wide street. Some findings of fact to support
this recommendation are this would reduce the costs of infrastructure and land,
it would potentially increase safety on streets to encourage slower driving, and it
would be compliant with Public Works storm water runoff and supports the
potential redevelopment of areas.
The motion carried with 8 members present and 6 voting in favor (Connick,
O’Neill, Hayes, Heckman, Bredthauer and Connelly) and two members (Ruge
and Haskins) who voted against the motion.
