Regular City Council Meeting Monday, March 21,2011 Page 21 Mr. Peterson reviewed the area in question on private property and appearing to be a gap. Mr. Peterson referenced staff's Condition 7.b regarding limiting fences to preserve the integrity of the storm water treatment areas; and the developer suggesting one deviation along Lexington Avenue to bridge that gap and avoid access of the public onto private property by installing a fence across that ease- ment area, to be owned and maintained by the Homeowner's Association, with the understanding that it could be removed or replace in order to repair the pipe, at the Homeowner Association's expense. Mr. Peterson opined that this would al- low continuity as well with the proposed four foot (4') fence and retaining wall along Lots 9, 10 and 11; and agreed that no stone columns would be installed on that easement. Discussion among City Councilmembers and Mr. Peterson included the extensive drop-off on the western elevation along County Road C-2 and their intent to ad- dress that grade through with level driveways off County Road C-2 and walk-out home designs for those lots, in addition to fill; removal of the existing billboard on the northeast corner of the property as part of the purchase transaction, with the advertiser already given notice for removal, pending City action on the Final Plat and subsequent land purchase; and aesthetics of the proposed four foot (4') fence and its common theme rather than each individual homeowner having their own choice of fence. Further discussion included proposed property covenants and timing for their ad- ministration with the Association based on occupancy levels and addressing inte- rior and exterior requirements; and targeted price ranges for the six (6) different options and floor plans at approximately$430,000. Public Comment Written comment via e-mail was received from Jeffrey Strobeck, 1297 West County Road C-2 (opposed to opening County Road C-2); Gerald McDonald, 2857 Dellwood Avenue (opposed to opening County Road C-2); Scott Cum- mings, 1175 Josephine Road (in support of opening County Road C-2); Richard Skaggs, 1160 Josephine Road (comments related to drainage infrastructure) were provided by staff as bench handouts, attached hereto and made a part hereof Pam Newcome, 1245 Josephine Road Ms. Newcome noted her attendance at the March Planning Commission meeting and the robust discussion held on whether or not to open County Road C-2; and subsequent advisement by the Commission that County Road C-2 would not be part of the discussion of this development, but was a separate issue. Ms. New- come expressed her frustration that the Traffic Study was not available on the City's website. Ms. Newcome questioned the traffic study's methodology of current observation predicting future use; questioned traffic patterns and possible alternative routes
