from Development Resources, , James Madden from Stoneridge

Country Hills"
Ken Baldwin from Development Resources explained that Fox Hill
was annexed with a comprehensive zoning and development plan. He
stated that this is Pod #4 is zoned R-J and restricted to 7 units
per Acre and will not build apartment buildings but have single
family attached units (not rentals) . The plan that is being
presented today is agreeable with Jeff Palmquist.
Mike Cap explained the traffic control plan. This area will have
its own detention pond and will be in the low area of pod. The
sanitary sewer make its connection onto John St. and water main
is looped along the pavement. This will require blanket
easements. He showed a typical configuration of how each
individual unit will be served by water and sewer connections and
proposed street lighting. The landscape plans presented have an
overlap and inconsistency and will be addressed. Approximately
1-1/4 Acre is need for detention and storm sewer to east is not
needed as it connects to John St. and sewer is sized accordingly"
East of Cedar will have its own site detention and southeast
corner will have its own detention. The property is extremely
sandy and water table is 12-15 ft" and during and after
construction they expect the water table to drop. Recommended
was to have a manifold storm sewer and to have separate services.
The water line on Cottonwood Trail was discussed" 30 Ft" setback
is required in R-3 zoning and plans show 25 ft, Location of
trees was also discussed. These items will be check by Ken
Baldwin and the City" Jim Nanninga stated that cross section
does not fit as both plans show trees in the parkway. The final
landscape plans will be amended to remove trees from the parkway.
Entrances will be moved back as not to obstruct vision. Jim
Nanninga requested that presentation be colorized to show
utilities" The cross section was discussed in regard to
sidewalks, parkway and street lighting and utilities placement.
Width of streetsv additional off street parking , curbs, location
of end units and sidewalks were discussed" Auxiliary off street
parking must be shown on the plan as all units do not have 2 car
garages. It was stated that the City Council is adamant on
having sidewalks. If there was an agreement with City and
homeowners association , maintenance of parkways could be part of
it. Pavement design must be done by City Ordinance. Location of
sidewalks is not clear in the annexation agreement" The traffic
study is done and has been distributed to I " D, O" T. If traffic
signal is warranted it would be placed at Cedar and Rt. 34" Left

initially. Jim Nanninga stated that this committee requests that
left turn lanes be installed. He also stated that they don 't
want structures (manholes and valves) in the pavement and more
street lights need to be added. Sidewalks should be on both
sides of property lines in the R" O" W. , 10 ft" of parkway to allow
21 ft. for cars. Snow removal would be done by the association.

gOUNTRY HILL
Jack Cusack representing Country Hills Subdivision stated they
would like the storm sewer issue resolved. They are requesting
final plat from the Planning Commission in October. J. T.
Johnson stated that gas should not be on the water side, but can
be on sewer side (this will be on the final plat) " Additional
utility easements to the City are needed so they can grant them
rights to the franchise agreement. Storm sewer structure inlets,
catch basins and the lift station were discussed. Jim Nanninga
stated the lift station improvements will be part of Phase I and
will be secured by Letter of Credit and when they reach the
initial 80, it must be upgraded" The 8" water main was
discussed. The preliminary plan will show a 12" main extending
to Rt. 126 but would not be built at this time and cost issue
must be addressed. Jack Cusack stated it was unnecessary to have
sewer 30 ' deep and doesn 't feel extending sewer to 126 should be
at Dwyer 's expense" It was agreed that Country Hills will
provide gravity sewers to the northeast corner at such time as
the corner develops, that they are not required to have the sewer
be 30 ' deep , and there will be a 8 ^ force main and lift station
to 126" Depth of the sewer at the intersection was discussed.
