e) The sidewalk will be shown on the Site Plan. It is our belief that such sidewalk should
`_�•4v� be built at a later date. This will at this time maintain the contiguity of the neighboring
property, and preserve the even visual flow for several miles both north and south of this
property.
The Colorado State Highway is also considering that a sidewalk along a major 55 MPH
traffic way may be an unacceptable hazard.

requirements.
