<br />Mr. Halstrom indicated the Development Agreement requires that four (4) inches <br />of comparable top soil be added before the sod is installed. He indicated this has <br />not been done in the development which has lead to grading problems and weed <br />control problems. He also indicated their maintenance company has trouble due <br />to terrible condition of the yards. He requested that the City inspect the sodding <br />and have the developer replace it. <br /> <br />Mr. Halstrom indicated the storm sewer grates are routinely plugged with <br />construction debris, dirt and weeds and requested that the City maintain same or <br />to require the developer to do so. <br /> <br />Mr. Halstrom indicated he and the Association expresses safety issues with the <br />current lighting of their development. He also stated there are too few street <br />lights based on the fact that their development has winding streets and the houses <br />are setback further off the street than other developments. He requested the City <br />inspect the lighting and add additional streetlights or require the developer to <br />provide same. <br /> <br />Mr. Halstrom indicated the Association is concerned about the park in the <br />development because there is a sports stand that is not currently useful. He <br />indicated that perhaps installing basketball hoops on either end would make a <br />better use of the stand. He also expressed a desire to provide "screening" of the <br />portable toilet installed in the park. He suggested shrubs or trees to camouflage <br />the facility. <br /> <br />Mr. Halstrom also expressed to the Council the Association's disapproval of the <br />proposed development of the outlots. He explained that roads will be extended <br />and there will be two (2) associations responsible for one road which would be <br />l1alU LV mallagt. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers asked which roads were private roads. Mr. <br />Halstrom indicated Voyageur Court was in their development and Ojibway was in <br />the twin home area. He indicated Ojibway, which is a private road, would be <br />extended into their Association and they would share maintenance costs on same <br />with the twin home association. <br /> <br />Mr. March referenced another townhome development that has lights on the front <br />of the units that unit owners leave on all night and he inquired as to whether the <br />Association had lights on their units and if they leave them on. Mr. Halstrom <br />indicated lighting is up to the individual unit owner and said they have no exterior <br />motion detectors. <br /> <br />A member of the audience, also from the Association, indicated lighting on the <br />houses does not add to the lighting of the streets due to the style of the <br />development with winding streets and setbacks. Mr. March indicated it did in the <br />other development because houses were closer to the street than in Eagle Pass. <br /> <br />Page 6 of 22 <br />
