. public right-of-way, and the City would normally be making those improvements. He said the question before Council was whether or - not to require the street improvement because of the subdivision. The subdivision could be allowed to be developed, but he noted there would be the attendant problems of dust in the area along with the increased traffic from the 100 residential lots. He noted this was an ongoing dilemma whenever any subdivision was developed on a sub- standard street. Jim Saul, Planner, said the subdivision had been approved, and in working with the Laurel Hill Citizens Association and their desire for street patterns in the area, one condition of the approval had been for improvement of Laurel Hill Drive. In regard to the 50 percent petition signers, Mr. Delay said if there were 50 percent who wanted it done, then Council normally would approve. He said there are obviously other reasons why it should be done. He noted the basic policy of abutting property owners paying for street improvements. He did not think Council should change that policy now. He noted also there would be a time for pUblic hearing when more con- crete answers were available. He also noted Council may have to become more active about residential street improvements in order to reduce the pollution by eliminating the dust and mud carryout problems. He felt there were issues to be considered in street improvements other than resistance from property owners, noting there will always be resistance. He felt it necessary for the City to follow its current policy. e Res.
