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 /> 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 /> 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 /> 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 /> 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 /> hard to manage. <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 /> 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 /> 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 /> Page 6 of 22 <br />
