Mr. Koeth asked about a future road. Mr. Urbanick indicated originally this was going to be done in two phases, but is now going to be done in one phase. If the property next door was developed, it would have an entrance on Bradley Road continuing onto the back of the properties which would interconnect, therefore, the future access would only be needed at the other end. Mr. O'Malley said the easements are another item on the engineer's list of request. This is another condition that needs to be considered if approval is granted tonight. He said in previous plans, he thought unit 46 would loop from the end of the cul-de-sac and come back in. The other possible scenario that it would eventually go back out to Bradley Road. He thought the break in the area of unit 46 was also designed concerns about the length of the cul-de-sac. Resident Comments: Kay Givens inquired if the maps in the engineering department are current. Mr. Koeth said he did not know what maps she looked at, and said he assumed they were. She said at the September 22 Architectural Review Board meeting, Mr. Zergott said he would like to see 6' and 8' evergreens instead of 5' and 7' trees, 10' center. However, the plans today on the western boundary have been changed to 15 - 20' center. Ms. Wenger asked if it was page 15 of 171andscape buffer detail. Mr. Koeth said these will be changed to 10'. Mr. Urbanick said the details were changed per the recommendations of Dave Wendell. Mr. O'Malley said Mr. Wendell needs to make these recommendations before it is presented before Architectural Review Board is the reviewing body that makes recommendations to the Planning Commission. Mr. Yager told Ms. Givens to be aware that the evergreens are staggered so while the trees are 15-20' in the front, there is a group behind them that is in between them, so it is consistent with the Architectural Review Board recommendation. She asked how much the undisturbed areas are going to be disturbed. Mr. Yager informed her to prepare herself to have them come up to the property line. Ms. Givens asked about the landscaping sequence. Mr. Yager instructed her to discuss the construction process with the Engineering and Building departments. He indicated that the size of the mounds, along with the units being lower would benefit her property. She asked if there has been any consideration to eliminating some of the units in the front. She said it is way too congested. Mr. Yager told her from her house to the northern property line is 130 ft. She is concerned about three large pin oaks on the northern property line; Mr. Koeth said they would be protected. Marilyn Boyle aslced about the catch basin on her property which tunnels under the driveway onto the development. She requested something in writing if problems would occur. Mr. Koeth informed her if, by chance, water problems would develop, the developer would need to rectify it. He then told her she would have to deal with the condominium association. Mrs. Hoff-Smith said our City has one of the strictest water detention requirements. She asked the Board about a new road going in and a retirement home. The Board indicated to her that no plans have been submitted yet. Janet Dorn questioned the lack of wild area left. Her property is located two properties west of the proposed development. Mr. Yager said grading will take place right to the property edge. Ms. Wenger said there will be two or three swales, all near French Creek. The grading of the swales will occur only in that area. She asked the procedures for sending out the notices to notify the residents. Mr. Koeth indicated to her that it is any parcel that is adjacent to the
