Steve Embretson - 935-3906 Mr. Embretson is one of several developers who have been putting together various alternative development proposals for the southern half of the Corpus Christi School property in the southwest quadrant of County Road B and Fairview. Mr. Embretson was in to review and discuss a potential single-family residential plat that would be located parallel to the recently developed single-family lots off of the extension of Skillman, west of Fairview. All of the lots that were shown in the preliminary plat conformed with the R-1 standards. Much of the discussion with Mr. Embretson had to do with technical issues related to the extension of the various city utilities. There was some discussion about the need to evaluate whether or not this potential new street would need to be extended through to the west to provide ior east-west traffic movements through this neighborhood. Obviously, this ques�ion can only be addressed in the context of the school district's future plans for the area south of the praperty that is currently utilized for the Fairview Community Center. We su Mr. Embretson contact the school district and discussgthisematter with them. 2. Chris Clark - 535-0080 Mr. Clark is an employee of Norwest �ank and he was in to review the requirement� for signage on bank bank that he was in �o review is locatedponptheiwest sideSofcRice Street, north of Larpenteur Avenue. As it turns out, the exist�ng signage on this faczl�ty greatly exceeds the amount of wall signage currently permitted in the city code. We explained to him that if they wanted anything close to the amount of signage that was shown on his sketches, that a variance would need to be approved. Frankly, we discouraged him from a 1 in ior the variance saying that the amount of variance that�pwould need to ve granted in order to ga forward with what he was propo�ing was beyond what we felt the city could support, He stated that ,he understood this, but that his supervisors at the bank were asking him to get �opies of variance applications and that it was his expectation that they would proceed with the application.
