City Council Meeting of September 11, 1996 road. Wilharber asked the council how they felt about the units. Powers - Rasmussen stated, there are too many units and if they get money instead of a park area they could use it to help maintain other parks. Brenner stated she would like an ordinance check to make sure of the density. Wilharber stated Dan Tourville did check the ordinance during Planning and Zoning and the units are within the requirements. Helmbrecht stated less units would be nice and something for children. Brenner suggested have open space for future development of the associations own park. R. Thompson reported the Parks and Recreation Committee recommend taking the money, not the park or open space as long as the reimbursement stays around $70,000.00. Wilharber asked if the concept was acceptable to the council. Nyberg suggested 24 ft. streets instead of 20 ft as that was required for Eagle Pass. Buckbee stated she would go and look around at other townhomes. Hehnbrecht stated she would go and look at other townhomes too, but would like to see a park. Brenner suggested allowing open space so the association can later develop. Powers - Rasmussen referred to the sketch plan and suggested changing the direction of the homes to provide additional space for a park and sidewalks and switch down to 4 or 6 units. Rehbein stated he would like to know if the idea of townhomes would be acceptable with 24' roads on the main drive and 20 feet roads on the side roads. Nyberg suggested keeping 24' roads and stated in a letter from Milo suggested 20' side roads would be acceptable. Wilharber stated a public hearing has been set for October 1, 1996 to allow Planning and Zoning to review the preliminary plat.
