Also present were Ken Baldwin and Michael Cap from from Development Resources, James Madden and George Haviar from Stoneridge Development Co. , Inc . , and Dennis and Barbara Dwyer of Country Hills . STONERIDGE George Haviar stated the landscape plan is not ready at this time . All requested changes are being accomplished, with the only major change being the moving of the monuments to provide better sight view. DEVELOPMENT RESOURCES - FOX HILL Ken Baldwin presented a smaller fursion of the Preliminary Plan of the P. U. D. , with the various zoned lots being depicted by colors . Four different plans have been analyzed before deciding on the one presented with the inclusions of: 1 ) Location of the utilities to fit within the easements; 2 ) A modified cross section of road to comply; 3 ) Sidewalk provision for both sides of the street with a 10 ' parkway between the curb and sidewalk; 4 ) Street lighting; Everything discussed in the previous three meetings are included in the traffic study. Grading has been done previously for park purposes and is in the process of seeding. Model homes are being constructed on the first three lots. Mike Cap submitted that in respect to Cross-section 5 Right-of- way, the IDOT standard curb is shown, with a 10' grass area back from the curb, and a 5 'wide sidewalk. There is a 10 ' easement in the rear of the buildings to accomodate utility transformers and pedestals . Gas will be in the parkway. The water main will be 5 ' back from the curb, and 5 ' in from the property line . There may be a short section of storm sewer to run. They will cross the streets perpendicularly. Jim Nanninga asked if there was any way to depict private versus public storm sewers. Mike Cap stated that it will be shown in the final plat and the engineering plans. 1 Jim Madden stated he prefers the gas to be on the back side of the buildings with the other utilities. Mike Cap responded that the gas company prefers the parkways for the distribution main. Jim Nanninga added that the franchise agreement would set forth what must prevail . George Haviar also added that it can also be done with a blanket agreement. Mike Cap pointed out that how the buildings were set has been somewhat altered, but the size of building has not changed. Each building being an envelope with the individual units within being altered within. Jeff Palmquist responded that minimums should be allowed for the distances between buildings so as to assure that the plan does not become too tight. The center units are 17 ' and end units 28' wide. The variations would be that in a 6 unit building, the center two units can be substituted with a ranch style single unit to replace them, without effecting the building size . Jim Nanninga suggested the perpendicular parking be moved further from the entrance intersection, as someone turning into the subdivision may have a problem with someone backing out of a parking space . This can be done by moving the barriers around. Jim Nanninga stated his concern for the buildings around the lake in regards to high water and over flow. Jim Nanninga requested that the trees be included in the security agreement to assure they are planted. Jim Nanninga questioned the water main being too close to the street light at Stoneridge Court & Cottonwood Trail. Joe Moore suggested another valve in that same area. The patios on the buildings will be designed of concrete, with wooden decks being used only if the grade is too high for concrete . IDOT standard road grates will be used. Jim Nanninga stated there is need for minimums to be shown. There will be a monument entry at each entrance. Mike Cap requested the final engineering plans the single family residential POD be placed on the Planning Council agenda for 10/18/94, and also on the Plan Commission Agenda for 10/19/94. 2 SIGN ORDINANCE Jeff Palmquist reported the Sign Ordinance will be distributed to the City Council at their next Committee of the Whole meeting. BILL DETTMER Mr. Dettmer recommended stopping sale of the current loose leaf zoning ordinance until a complete review can be done on the contents for further discrepancies . For the present, copies may be made out of the Municipal Code Book for sale. J. T. Johnson suggested someone to verify it all with the original ordinances.

Johnson asked about utility easements of 10' in the rear yard, and 5 ' in both front and side yards.Barbara Dwyer asked when the utility easements were discussed as she didn' t recall having been in on the discussion. J. T. explained that at this point provisions are being made in regards to easements to prevent down the road problems, even if the easements are not used. Jeff Palmquist noted that a Conservation Easement is needed for the perimeter hedgerow. Dennis Dwyer responded that he will check with Jack Cusack in regards to the matter. Barbara Dwyer noted that it could be included on the drawing. Dennis Dwyer asked if the 2" construction road stone would be wasted, or if it could be used as part of the stone base for the road. CA6 on top of it would be a problem due to water movement. CA7 would be an option. Jeff Palmquist requested being placed on the Plan Commission agenda for 10/19/94 .
