City Council Minutes November 18, 2002 ............................. Page 6 Len Pratt, applicant, reviewed the changes that have been made to the project since the last time it was reviewed by the Council. He noted that the changes would enable the project to fit better with the plans of the city. Mr. Pratt introduced the members of the design team. Ed Hasek, Westwood Professional Services reviewed the site plan and talked about the key features of the project. Steve Ach of Centex Homes explained the four different housing products which will be used throughout the townhome portion of the project, and discussed the elevation issues. Mr. Ach talked about the requirement to have 25% of the building elevations having an exterior finish of brick, stucco and/or natural or artificial stone. He requested that the Council allow some flexibility in this requirement rather than requiring a straight 25%. There being no further comments, Mayor Klinzing closed the public hearing. Councilmember Kuester indicated a concern about the lack of playground equipment. Council discussion pursued regarding sidewalk maintenance. City Engineer Terry Maurer recommended that the sidewalks be maintained by the Association. Mr. Ach indicated that he would prefer that the sidewalks along the major street to be maintained by the City. The City Engineer indicated that these are internal sidewalks for an internal development and do not provide connections as major pedestrian movers. Councilmember Motin indicated his concern with pedestrian traffic safety for those who want to access the commercial properties along Twin Lakes Road. Another concern expressed by Councilmember Motin related to the right-in/right-out to Twin Lakes from the westerly commercial development. City Engineer Terry Maurer recommended that this should be a right-in only. City Engineer Terry Maurer suggested a pedestrian crosswalk if necessary to aid in pedestrian crossing. Mayor Klinzing indicated that she is uncomfortable with the project due to the phasing of the project, the project being too dense, and because the project focuses mainly on townhomes. She further noted that the City has just recently turned down a request for a townhome development and does not feel it is appropriate to treat this one differently. Councilmember Tveite indicated that he feels this development is different because the City has been reviewing the request for two years and because of the location of the plat being near a park and ride. He noted that he is also concerned with the phasing and would like to see more of a mixed phasing rather than just focusing on the townhomes. Councilmember Motin indicated his support for townhomes in this location but questioned the different standards in an R-3 zone from the townhouse zone. Scott Harlicker indicated that the elevations in the townhouses would be comparable to the R3 standards with a difference in the materials, but that an R-3 zoning would restrict the density. Councilmember Kuester indicated that this request is different from the other townhome request that was denied by the Council. She indicated that it was important to implement this type of integrated land use development. City Council Minutes Page 7 November 18, 2002 .............................

Page 10 Mayor I~inzing opened the public hearing. Bob Hall, owner of 7 and 23 3rd Street, Pineview apartments, and 337 Baldwin Avenue, River Garden Apartments. He noted that both of these properties are adjacent to the re-zoning site. Mr. Hall reminded the Council of a petition of over 100 names that had been submitted on June 23.
