The Planning Commission had asked for a stand- ard cul-de-sac. Previously the City Council discussed with the Creekside Developers that they would use a 46-1/2 foot radius back to back curb, paved cul-de-sac without easements outside the street section.

This would give snow storage and yet would not change the set back.
