Ron Barta, 611 East Iron Avenue, Attorney for the Home Builders
Association was concerned about the fencing requirement and that the City Planning
Commission could determine a hazard to exist in certain areas of new developments
and could require the developers to install fences. He wanted to know the City
Planning Commission's definition of a hazard. He also felt the sidewalks required
in the regulations should be stricken because state law allows for the installatio
of sidewalks by petition.
George Etherington, Realtor, 443 Aullwood, stated the cost of sidewalks
on a corner lot would be $2,000 and homes should have the option of construction.
Also that underground utilities would add $600 or $700 additional cost to each
lot.

Gary McCausland, Realtor, said people buying homes don't want the
additional cost of sidewalks.
Bill Chaffee, Realtor, 2131 Fairdale, said developers have no control
over the cost of underground utilities, and that one firm or company sets the
price.
Pat Morgan, Kansas Power and Light, stated all rates are based on
overhead service and that the additional cost for underground service is the
actual cost. He said no cost studies have determined that underground service
requires less maintenance than overhead service.
