Lack Of k ua^i
Spells Trouis^
“Every City, every community,
looking forward to the future and
to its continued expansion should
3 for that growth. In most
cases, this is nqt done and the ord
inary town just grows up, willy
nilly, with no thought as to the
complications that will arise in
the future because of this lack of
planning.”
Thus, Jerry Dodd, resident en
gineer in Kodiak for Macri Con
struction Co. for the past several
years, opened his speech entitled
“A Growing City,” delivered be
fore the Toastmasters Club Tues
day night. “Just what trouble does
this lack of planning cause to a
town?” he asked. He answers his
question by pointing out that utili
ties are duplicated, or must be re
placed because of lack of capacity
to serve ever-expanding districts.
Business and dwelling structures
are intermingled because proper
zoning laws do not exist or are
not enforced. Roads, he said, are
too narrow because the right of
way was not properly planned.
Sidewalks are either up and down
or stairstepped because no grad
ing plan was in existance as each
section was put in. Streets wander
all over because no thought was
given to their layout. “Kodiak is
a very good example of a town
that just grew,” the speaker said.
“Look at the streets. Look at the
sidewalks.” Most small, growing
towns are in the same condition,
he said.
He then asked the question
“What can be done to help this
situation?” Most smaller cities feel
that they cannot afford a qualified
city planner, he said. “But they
can hire qualified firms to make
surveys, recommendations and a
plan as to how to get the most out
of the money they do and will
have. This planning only has to be
done one time. But it has to be en
forced and carried out. Perhaps
the initial expense will seem very
high, but over the years it will
pay off.
Dodd then advocated “City Plan
ning.” “A town expecting to grow
should have a master plan, cover
ing an area larger than even the
wildest dreamer expects the town
to cover.” This plan, he said, W’ill
layout future streets, business and
residential sections, recreational
areas, parks, schools, all utility
lines and carriers. But, he said,
qualified city planners must be
used, who will work with civic
leaders. “The few thousand dol
lars spent for this planning will
be returned in the future many
times over,” the speaker concluded.
