Re: Conceptual Development Plan
Enterprise Subdivision
Dear Mayor Goodland and Council Members:
The present subdivision ordinance requires an 80' right of way be
dedicated for the street and related improvements. An 80' width
right of way is needed where a 41' street is to be installed.
However, in areas that require a 25' street, we feel that a 60'
right of way would be sufficient.
Twenty feet in width may not sound like much in itself, but if you
equate it to the lineal footage of DuPont Circle and Wright Circle,
the use of an 80' right of way requires over 3/4 of an acre more
than the use of a 60' right of way. If the ordinance were amended
to allow for a 60' right of way to be used, the cost of land would
be reduced.
We therefore would propose that Section 23.22, Paragraph 2 of the
Subdivision Ordinance, be amended to allow for the use of a 60'
right of way where 25' streets are required.
Thank you for your consideration
Very truly yours,
JT&S DEVELOPMENT CO.
