the roadway. Ron Ruthven stated that it possibly stemmed from the

effort. Commissioner Phelps stated that he thought there were approximat
eight to ten lots where this would be an impractical application. Ron Ruthven
stated that if these size lots were to be proposed today they wo
approved. He further stated that this was also due to the resid
sole frontage on a collector. Commissioner Phelps reiterated his question
about having a ten foot sidewalk, the easement, the encroachment

explained that trails are typically used for regional trails, which Glade Road is,
or to accommodate multiple bicycles where a five foot sidewalk w
Commissioner Dudziak stated that, in his opinion, it was a safety issue. He
