~ . (7) Street Lighting. The issue of inadequate street lighting was first addressed to the city council by reference 1 c. At that time, the city indicated that Christmas lights in the development made an assessment of this issue unfeasible, and deferred action until a time when the Christmas lights were no longer present. Nothing has been done since that time. The agreement at reference Ib calls for "approximately 15 lights" and there are 151ights in the development. But "approximately" can mean 13 lights just as easily as it can mean 17 lights. The bottom line should be that of what is required for adequate night vision and safety. Our development is characterized by winding roads, and whole sections are left without adequate lighting for safe driving and pedestrian traffic at night. We implore the council to immediately review this issue through an on-site inspection with our association representatives. (8) Eagle Park Issues. We are concerned about the sport stand in the park and what it is supposed to represent. We understand that discussions are on-going. Our own view is that the stand is useless as a tennis court without fencing, and can best be utilized by simply placing basketball goals on each end of the stand. With respect to the portable toilet at the entrance to the park, we believe it can best be disguised by either landscape trees, or by fencing that will disguise it while at the same time allowing for maintenance access. (9) Future Outlot Development. Recent sketches obtained from Swift's sales representative are promoting the addition of 20 single townhome units in Outlot B. Prospective additions include: . -- Five units directly off of Dupre and Street "C". A private road off of Dupre with 7 units. -- An extension of Ojibway (existing private road with twinhomes) to have 8 units. Since this involves 2 more private roads, the impact to our development is huge. Homeowners (twin and single units) must pay for snow removal from these roads. We also need to build reserve funds for future reswfacing. The extension of Ojibway would create even more problems as that private road would be owned by two associations. Our questions to the City are: Who is responsible for any sewer problems on any current or future private road, the City or the Association? Is it possible to make these proposed private roads into city streets? What specifications define a city street vs a private road? According to our bylaws: -- Statutory Notice from the :tv1N Common Interest Ownership Act, Section 3 General Description states: "Initially the common interest community will contain 59 units. It is contemplated by the declarant and approved in principle by the City that the total development will eventually consist of a total of 66 units." -3-
