PROSPECT MOUNTAIN SUBDIVISION, A P.U.D., 3RD FILING;
Mr. Bill Van Horn, representing the owners, presented the Site

a P.U.D., 3rd Filing. The following correspondence was received:
Town Attorney .................................................02/16/84
Town Planner.............................................................02/16/84
Public Works Director.........................................92/10/84
A lengthy discussion followed on the correspondence. With regard
to the Town Attorney's letter, Mr. Van Horn stated they would add
the requisite Town Engineer's certificate and Town Board certifi
cates to the plat. In response to item two in the Attorney's
letter, Mr. Van Horn indicated that he would add a small drawing
to the plat which would contain outlot D. Attorney White also
stated that to prevent future problems, the easements need to be
shown on the left-hand side of the plat, which Mr. Van Horn
agreed with. In response to item three regarding the filing of
an application, Mr. Van Horn agreed to submit an application by
the next Planning Commission meeting. Mr. Van Horn agreed to
comply with item 4. In item five, Attorney White stated that the
plat shows a temporary road easement to be abandoned upon exten
sion of Darcy Drive across portions of Lot 15 and outlot E.
Attorney White stated the Town should require that the easement
be a permanent easement and not temporary. In the event that
Darcy Drive is extended in the future, an agreement could be
reached with the developer that the Town would vacate said
permanent easement upon the extension of Darcy Drive. Mr. Van
Horn stated that they would be willing to show a permanent road
easement as long as the Town would vacate the permanent easement
upon approval of an extension of Darcy Drive. In response to
item six, Mr. Van Horn stated that they would show the 30 foot
buffer on the westerly side of outlot E and D. In response to
item seven, Mr. Van Horn stated that he had submitted a sketch
plan of outlot A to the Town Planner. In response to the Town
Planner's letter, Mr. Van Horn stated that he felt they had
submitted the appropriate sketch plan of outlot A and the Subdi
vision and Site Plan submitted did not include approval for
outlot A. Planner Cole stated that she has problems with the
access on outlot A and is concerned that the applicant is going
to back himself into a corner. The Planning Commission generally
agreed that that access to outlot A was a concern and that they
would like to see the extension of Darcy Road so that they will
have an overview on how the project will be developed. A lengthy
discussion followed. In response to the Public Works Director's
letter, Mr. Van Horn stated that they would comply with items one
through six. Item seven regarding water, sewer and street
drawings will be submitted 21 days prior to the Town Board
meeting. In response to items eight and nine, Mr. Van Horn

to the conceptual plan, namely outlets D and E and the
roadway contained between those two lots. Said appli

Subdivision being referred to the Town Board.
An improvement guarantee be submitted prior to Town
Board Approval.
The plat shows a temporary road easement to be
abandoned upon extension of Darcy Drive across portions
of Lot 15 and outlot E. The developer should provide a
permanent easement and not a temporary easement.
The thirty foot buffer must be shown on the
westerly side of outlot E and D as required by Section
17.60.090 (6)(a), and on the east of Lot 11.

merits.
