Paul Kochevar,Applicant’s Representative,briefed the Town Board on the following:Leonard Arnold,primary partner,is in the audience,and available for any questions;three meetings have been held with the EVRPD concerning golf course issues,and problems have been identified and tentative solutions thereto have been noted.The EVRPD has assigned potential golf course modifications to Richard Phelps—a report should be available within the next two weeks.The Developer is aware that this issue must be resolved,and Mr.Kochevar requested a note be placed on the Final Plat that will take into consideration this stipulation.Concerning the roadway,the Developer has also met with the Mountain Fairways Homeowners Association,and he believes a good compromise has been reached that should help mitigate some of their concerns:1)relocate trash enclosures,2)increase space for snow storage,3)the Developer will contribute $5,000 for a perimeter walkway along the street,4)the Developer has offered to work with the Town in making Matthew Cir./Community Dr.more safe,and 5)the Developer has agreed to restrict construction vehicles through the project site during development of the site and not use Matthew Cir.,and to limit these vehicles during the construction phase.Regarding the Community Church,the Developer will trade their portion of the right of—way (driveway)for additional buffer along the common buffer line (results in an additional 14—h’),and the Developer will not move his improvements toward this buffer. The buffer will consist of shrubbery and will serve as a snow fence,thus eliminating the plastic snow fence.The Board of Trustees -February 11,1997 -Page 3 Community Church has now signed the plat. Public Works Director Linnane commented on the roadway connections,stating that staff recommended connection points on Brodie Ave.and Matthew Cir.,based on access for public safety vehicles,and traffic alternatives to circulate through the site (improved traffic flow and/or traffic flow),and reducing traffic concentration by dispersing traffic to more than one road.Staff believes that the Mountain Fairways Association has approved the modified roadway connections.The parking issue was discussed,with Mr.Kochevar confirming that the parking proposal has been deleted from the Plan. As there were no persons speaking in favor of,or in opposition to Special Review #97-1,Mayor Dekker closed the public hearing.Attorney White reviewed potential conditions for approval relating to the EVRPD golf course concerns,and Final Plat approval,and Mr.Kochevar confirmed both stipulations are agreeable to the Applicant.Mr.Kochevar also confirmed that items such as drainage are addressed in construction details when the Final Plat is submitted. Also,the street name has been changed to Wapiti in lieu of Elk Ridge Dr.There being no further discussion,it was moved and seconded (Baudek/Marshall)Special Review #97-1 Elkridge Development,for Lot 2,Thirteenth Fairway Subdivision be approved contingent upon (1)the review of the Final Plat not being reviewed by the Town Board until an agreement is reached between the EVRPD and the Developer, (2)the Development Plan is subject to Final Plat approval of the subdivision of the property,and (3)the conditions attached to the Plan by the Planning Commission (see Planning Commission minutes dated January 21,1997),and it passed unanimously.Town Attorney White reported that neither the Town nor the EVRPD are liable for any errant golf shots which may strike personal property. 3.Town Administrator’s Report.Administrator requested an Executive Session to discuss Negotiations and threatened litigation,thus it and seconded (Hix/Pauley)the Town Board enter Session,and it passed unanimously.
