Mayor Grant requested further information regarding the sidewalks that would be installed within the development. Mr. Carlson noted Launch Properties plans to install a sidewalk along Grey Fox Road and the County was installing a sidewalk along Lexington Avenue as part of the road project. It was his understanding the Planning Commission would like Launch Properties to pay for the City's portion of the sidewalk cost along Lexington Avenue in lieu of paying a park dedication fee. Councilmember Scott stated he supported Launch Properties paying for the City's portion of the sidewalk along Lexington Avenue in lieu of a park dedication fee given how this property would benefit from the sidewalk. Councilmember Holden agreed and asked what the cost would be. Community Development Director Jagoe estimated this cost for the sidewalk along Lexington Avenue to be $10,500. AMENDMENT: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded a motion to add Condition 26 to read: The applicant will revise the east elevation exterior to incorporate differing materials and/or design features to eliminate any uniform or unbroken plain wall appearance greater than thirty (30) feet. Councilmember Scott reported this would provide contrasting material along this elevation and noted he would support this condition. The amendment carried (5-0). Councilmember Holmes discussed Condition 24 and asked if this condition was still necessary. Community Development Director Jagoe believed it was reasonable to keep this condition in place.
