oo : Recommendation:

_ That the changes to the design of the emergency access/walkway linking
eee Clematis Crescent to Heather Street be approved subject to the owners of the
ere adjacent properties accepting full responsibility for pedestrian traffic which
ae : May trespass across their front yards.

Background and Comments:

The owners of the lots adjacent to the emergency access/walkway have
requested that the fencing at Clematis be pulled back to a point opposite the
7 . front of their houses, that a portion of the emergency access in the unfenced
portion be constructed with grass grid blocks, and that permission be granted
| to construct a gate in the fence at the rear of the access,

Because of the configuration of the lots adjacent to the walkway, the
fence, if constructed in accordance with current standards, would be located
d very close to the front doors of the houses, and a full width asphalt pavement
would be less visually pleasing that the Proposed combination of a sidewalk

width pavement with grass grid blocks on either side, The property owners
have agreed to maintain the grass grid area,

traffic over their lots which may result from the lack of fencing.
