The Dalles City Council approved a resolution to establish guidelines for when residential street improvements take place.  The guidelines will apply only to one and two family homes constructed on individual lots.  Nearly all the discussion among Councilors centered on a clause for when a sidewalk must be installed.  Councilors eliminated a clause calling for property owners to sign a delayed development agreement if no curb line has been established.  There were some worries about creating island situations, but Councilor Russ Brown noted in the end it was best to keep it simple, adding he expected the question of how to pay for sidewalk installation to come back to the Council at some point.  The resolution does say commercial development, subdivision, and multi-family development shall meet the public improvement requirements found in the city’s land use and development ordinance.
