Cannonball Hill
Rezoning &Preliminary Concept Plan
John Schmacher presented the sketch plan of 26 lots off of Cannonball Trail. The smallest lot would
be 12,000 sq. ft., with the average being over 13,000 sq. ft. The remainder of the parcel, which Is a
flood plain, could be a conservation easement or dedicated to an appropriate agency. Hilltop Ct.will
have its name changed. Mr. Schmacher said the cukde-sac would be large enough for emergency
vehicle turnaround. The right-of-way will be prepared to meet the codes.
Mr. Lindblom stated his concern of only one access. Mike Schoppe, interim land planner,
questioned the right-of-way and that lots 5&6 will not have access. The birm will be a city policy
decision. Jim Nanninga said that Cannonball Trail is a county road and they want the flexibility to
move the entrance if needed. They also asked that the cul-de-sac become a stub street in case the
next property develops. The storm water detention would be placed below lots 10, 11, 12 & 13.
They propose to preserve as many trees as possible.
Fox Hill
Chris Lannert, representing Primus Development Company, presented the revised plans. He
showed the 84 townhouses, courtyard and 41 single family homes cluster concept of 3-8 units on
private drives. They propose a emergency access point at the south end. There would be one
sidewalk on the north side of the road. The various parking scenarios and landscaping were
discussed. The density would be increased 10%from the previous plan. There would be 34 duplex
homes (17 buildings) and 60 duster courtyard homes totaling 94. They feel the trade off is the
amount of proposed landscaping. They will work with Public Safety for addressing the buildings.
The height of the courtyard buildings will be 32 ft. to the ridge. The duplex setback remains at 20 ft.
because of the garages and driveway parking.

Plan Commission 7/15/98
There will be a homeowner's association to care for the private roads but there are two public
streets. Mr. Schoppe commented there needs to be more guest parking and Public Safety should
have input on this. He suggested the street width be 28 ft. for parking and emergency vehicle
access. The landscaping may be done on the commercial pod but put in place during the residence
construction.
Mr. Nanninga discussed the need for road improvements for Eldamain Road. He said the
developers have agreed to share in the costs of the road improvements to Rt. 34. Also, the trail
along the creek should belong to the first unit extending to the park. He said the extension to
Sycamore and the road improvements to Rt. 34 are important. The developer said that would be the
extent of their involvement to the Eldamain Road improvements. Mr. Nanninga said there may have
to be a recapture fee later.
Greenbriar Unit 4
No one was present to represent Greenbriar. Mr. Schoppe said there are 7 less lots now being
proposed. Mr. Langland suggested the lots all be at least 12,000 sq. ft. (Lot#72 is less.) The
