PC 97-8 Sunflower Estates Phase I Final Plat
John Spenader and Jeff Humm of Inland presented the final plat for Unit 1. The preliminary
plan has been approved. They stated it is in conformance with the preliminary and the
engineering issues have been resolved with Joe Wyrott. They are agreeable to the things
listed on a memo from Mr. Wyrott. Mr. Wyrott recommended the plat be approved by Planning
Commission subject to the resolution of the engineering issues. These issues have been
verbally agreed to but are not yet reflected on the plan. Mr.Wyrott explained that the asterisk
on his memo were items that need to be resolved and shown on the plan prior to approval of
Unit I Plat. The other items will be completed before signing the Unit II Plat.
Mr. Langland asked what the resolution was concerning Greenbriar Road. Mr. Wyrott said the
road is in "limbo" as Greenbriar did not put it in and Sunflower Estates is not obligated to.
They are obligated to extend the water main and sidewalks along the right-of-way. It will be up
to the properties on the west to extend that road.
Chairman Lindbloom expressed his concerns that there is only one way into the subdivision off
Rt. 47. The developer stated that the second phase will have a connection onto Rt. 71.

ADDITIONAL BUSINESS
Greenbriar Update
Chairman Lindbloom discussed a report on the outstanding Greenbriar issues and Mr. Wyrott s
letter. Mr. Wyrott said Unit 3 has been constructed and one home is currently being built.
There was a development agreement that resolved many of the outstanding issues. The
developer will construct the watermain loop to Elizabeth Street. (This should remain closed
and the water pressure not be affected.) The preliminary plans will be submitted by the end of
October and they will need to have a supplemental EPA permit to construct it. The recapture
for sewer over sizing was not necessary. The city paid the developer for the over sizing of the
watermain by crediting back to them the engineering fees. The recapture of the roadway
construction has not been resolved. There will be trees planted and the developer will not
pursue the city taking over the pond areas. The developer stated he had constructed the
development by the plans approved by the city. He said that no trees were taken down
unnecessarily and they will not replace any trees.
Upcoming Meetings
Chairman Lindbloom announced an upcoming meeting October 29 for various planning
commission members and planners. He also announced a meeting on Thursday, October 30
