I hope your 2 PM meeting went exceptionally well. <br />Here is what I took away from the meeting today. <br />You will be sending me a letter covering the issues we agreed upon and your suggestions for solutions to open issues on Monday <br />next. We meet again Monday along with other developers to discuss the general area concepts. <br />You covered 8 points. They are: <br />1. Cleveland Median - We agree the median is to be extended. I was previously informed that the City had to undertake any in <br />street improvements but that seems to be available for us to do. We agree to installing the median extension meeting the <br />suggested distance. Anything beyond that point, should the city wish it would be billed to the City. <br />2. Traffic. I understand that Traffic concerns raised by the Right in - Right out drive access proposed have been satisfied in <br />the City's opinion thru the use of the R-in, R-out and median extension. We all recognize is was concluded traffic <br />would operate at a C or better level and that no further adjustments will be necessary. <br />3. Special Assessments - I have not agreed to take on any extraordinary special assessments as a part of this PUD process <br />but do agree that 1 will work with staff to enter in to an agreement addressing special assessments that may result from the <br />development of Twin Lakes as a larger development. It is my position that my special assessments will be exclusive of <br />environmental and storm water costs thus recognizing this property's environmental report and the cost of development of <br />on-site storm water management defined in the PUD process. <br />4. Entrance to Twin Lakes - The proposal defined a future entrance to the proposed Twin Lakes Parkway should it be <br />constructed. I agree, in the event Twin Lakes Parkway is constructed, upon completion of a driveway with access in both <br />directions within the location range indicated on my submission, to the closure of the Cleveland Avenue access <br />unless asked to keep it open by any regulatory agency (i.e., fire department). <br />5. Park Dedication - We understand that we can pay a fee and that is acceptable with the City. <br />6. Storm Water - Storm water will be managed on-site thru the use of an underground tube array <br />7. Plans - You asked me for 2 additional sets of full size plans by next Friday for your use. <br />8. Design Principals - You asked me as "homework" to revisit the collective efforts put forth in cooperation with the multiple <br />staff meetings, etc, to review the elements of the proposal as they relate to the design principals. We have confirmed the <br />design principals are not incorporated in to the code. I can write a narrative which should encompass the items we've <br />incorporated in to the design addressing elements such as walkability - exterior design, etc to the best of my ability. I am <br />going to address the design as it has been submitted thus far without modification. However I am aware and understand <br />that certain adjustments may and likely will be made to the design such as exact tree placement and species, ground <br />cover, etc. I welcome the opportunity to work thru those suggestions with you and staff. <br />I look forward to receiving your letter and will get the information requested (above) back to you as soon as possible. I would like <br />to know when the earliest date I can ask to have this preliminary plat revisited by the City Council? <br />Warmest regards, <br />John Livingston <br />Cent Ventures <br />10/31 /2007 <br />
