Mr. Jack Ronsko then advised the Council that agreement had not been reached on the Ray, Schweyer, Carney, Chappell, Tyson, Stemler, or Duncan parcels, all of which are residential parcels. Diagrams of the involved parcels were presented for Council's scrutiny. Mr. Ronsko stated that the City's standard sidewalk width in front of a residential parcel is 5 feet. The 5 feet is in addition to 6 inches of curb width, so that from the face of the curb to the back of the sidewalk there is 5- 1/2 feet. A sidewalk alignment and street alignment diagram for this area as approved by Council several months ago was displayed for Council's perusal.

Both this exhibit and another exhibit which was viewed and approved by the City Council on January 15, 1975 showed on the north side a distance of 36 feet to the proposed right-of-way. The computation of 36 feet less 28 feet , less 5- 1/Z feet leaves a balance of 2- 1/2 feet behind the curbline. This 2- 1/2 feet, according to Mr. Ronsko, is a City standard.
