. Mr. Hoeft added there is some risk when approving a development if residents are contesting their assessments. He encouraged the City to keep the numbers reasonable. Mr. Hoeft stated the numbers in the final assessment role need to be acceptable to all residents affected by the development. Council Member Travis asked if the future zoning preference for this site was R-5 or Planned Unit Development (PUD). Mr. March noted the Comprehensive Plan does not set future zoning preferences but rather leaves it flexible for the Council to make a preference to the density desired. He indicated an addition could be added to the covenants to state this development should meet the requirements for R-5, which sets the main floor square footage at 1,200 square feet. Council Member Vickers asked if the covenants would set the range of the house prices. Mr. Carlson stated he has set a range of $200,000 or greater within the covenant provided to the City. He indicated his sign states the range could go up to $250,000. Council Member Travis asked that the developer be held to either $200,000 or 1,200 square feet on the main level to meet the R-5 zoning requirements. Mr. Carlson requested special consideration to be given for two story homes that have less than 1,200 square feet on the main level, but are valued over $200,000. Council Member Vickers stated she would be comfortable with the price limit if the square footage cannot be met to keep the value of the homes up. She noted this could be addressed within Ordinance #4 for future developments as well. Motion bv Council Member Vickers, seconded bv Council Member Nelson to approve Hunter's Crossin!!

Michael Zwicki - Drivewav Access Mr. March reported this was discussed at the last meeting to assist the resident in gaining access to the roadway from his driveway. He noted a machine has been donated by Tri State Bobcat, to grind down the roadway which would then be repatched for access. Mayor Wilharber asked if a precedence would be set with this issue due to the fact the City is funding the patching and that Public Works time would be used for the grinding equipment. Mr. March noted a Public Works employee would be donating his time to work the equipment and that the asphalt would cost roughly $25-$50. 3
