<br />would need City approval and the City would be interested in a plan that is fair to <br />both sides of the issue. <br /> <br />A member of the audience, from the Association, asked if the private streets could <br />be made into city streets. Mr. Hoeft said this was not likely. <br /> <br />A member of the audience also from the Association asked if the Association <br />could be notified when Swift Construction appears before Council seeking <br />approval of their expansion plan for the development. Mr. March said this would <br />be done. <br /> <br />A member of the audience, from the Association, asked if the City were to deny <br />Swift Construction's development plan, what would happen to the property. Mr. <br />Hoeft indicated Swift Construction owns the property and can propose anything <br />that is allowed by ordinance or sell it to some one else for development. Mr. <br />March said Gor-em actually owns the lots but Swift Construction was developing <br />them. He indicated finding a mutually agreeable development was beneficial. <br /> <br />A member of the audience, from the Association, asked if the City would be able <br />to notify the Association when seal coating or other road maintenance was being <br />done in the development so they could join in to save money. Mr. March said the <br />City commonly does that with other developments and would have no problem <br />with this request. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers questioned if the City Attorney would review <br />the Development Agreement to see what the City can do to demand compliance. <br /> <br />A member of the audience, from the Association, commented on the sodding and <br />grading at the development and said it affects the City with runoff issues. <br /> <br />Council Member Travis asked why this is all being addressed to Swift <br />Construction if Gor-em owns the property. Mr. March stated the developer is less <br />than responsive once the lot is sold and developed. He stated then Swift <br />Construction is in charge of issues stemming from development. <br /> <br />A member of the audience, from the Association, said her son works in <br />construction and some homes he was working on recently were red-flagged by the <br />City because the contractor had not used silt fencing as required. She indicated <br />all work in the development stopped until the developer had complied with the silt <br />fencing requirement. She then asked if Centerville could do something similar to <br />make developers comply. <br /> <br />She then told the Council she recently observed some kids playing on some <br />trusses that were leaning up against a dumpster, partially blocking the sidewalk, <br />and said it was a very unsafe situation. She also said the dumpsters are always <br />overflowing with debris that blows all over the neighborhood. Mayor Wilharber <br /> <br />Page 10 of22 <br />
