Commission splits on sidewalks and curbing for Green Meadow; some favor both‑side sidewalks, others prefer deferral
Summary
Commissioners debated requiring sidewalks and curbing in the new Green Meadow subdivision. Several members urged designing sidewalks now and deferring installation; others argued sidewalks on both sides increase impervious cover and HOA costs.
Commissioners exchanged competing views on whether the Estates at Green Meadow should include sidewalks on both sides, perimeter sidewalks and curbing. Some members said sidewalks are essential for walkability and school bus access; one commissioner argued sidewalks should be designed and placed on plans now even if installation is deferred so future problems do not arise.
Developer Kevin Warmath said he would "put them on the plan" and request a deferral if necessary; commissioners said the typical township approach has been one‑side sidewalks and that the board will weigh whether to require both sides, perimeter sidewalks on Green Meadow/Cricket roads and how deferrals will be secured (HOA vs. developer). The commission recommended designing a perimeter loop sidewalk and considering a deferral for the remainder.
