Member Wall asked if the garage doors could be color coordinated with the existing structures to make them less obvious. Member Wall asked what the market would be for these units (Empty nesters and professionals). He also asked ifthere would be a children's play area built in (Yes, at or near the gazebo area). Member Thomas stated that, in the past, the Planning Commission has recommended that the Homeowner's Association determine whether a tot lot should be included on the site because of liability questions. Member Thomas asked if a second access was necessary for fire emergency access (Yes). Member Thomas asked for details regarding the road width (26' wide proposed private streets). Thomas also asked for details regarding snow storage and visitor parking. Member Harms then asked if there would be parking between units 1 and 16 (Yes, 2 spaces).

The developer should consider some color scheme which adds some variety to the units. Mr. Warren, Ryan Avenue, said he had no problem with the unit design, but preferred to have a 6' fence (not chainlink) to be placed along the north property line of the project. The purpose of the fence would be to keep kids out. Another purpose of the fence would be to reduce the number of headlight that would shine through the project into the rear windows of the single family structures north of the project area. Member Thomas asked for additional evergreens to block headlights. David Woehrle, 1056 Ryan Avenue, stated he also preferred a 6' high fence along the rear property line, and that he liked the idea of a white picket fence but that the white picket 6
