FOX HILL/STONERIDGE
Ken Baldwin, land developer and engineer for Fox Hill, presented

he felt that some of the concerns he had voiced at last weeks
council meeting should be in the concept plan, and not the
preliminary plan. Ken Baldwin said he would have the concerns
stated in a concept plan ready for next weeks council meeting. The
concerns Jim had were:
1 . Parking, (homeowner, guest, and over-flow)
2 . Landscaping

4 . Sidewalks, front vs . back

out the woods and was a little disappointed in the quality and
amount of the hardwood trees on site. He still felt the need for a
tree survey. Dick Young and Molly Millen said they would also go
out and walk the property to see if it would be feasible to have a
biking/walking trail that could possibly be connected with the Fox
Valley Park Districts planned trail along the Fox River. Discussion
followed on the Fox Valley Trail. Jeff Palmquist also stated he
would like to see a state forester evaluate the trees .
Harold Oliver expressed his displeasure with the increased cost due
to the subdivision ordinance and standard specifications for
improvements that the city has implemented. Jim Nanninga felt like
some of the Oliver/Niles figures had not been done correctly.
