MINUTES CITY COUNCIL December 13, 1989 Mr. Pantzar pointed out that the documents had already been provided. Pantzar expressed concern that there was not more involvement on the part of the City's Building Inspector when the wall was being constructed. Pantzar also pointed out the City issued the occupancy permits for the townhomes. Fahey again stated that the City Attorney will review the situation and give the Council an opinion. Pantzer pointed out that the City was the inspector on the project and it was the City's responsibility to make sure the project was developed properly. The City Attorney reported that he would like to examine the documents that have been referenced. The Attorney stated that if the development agreement addressed the retaining wall, then wall would be the City's reponsibility. Mr. McNabb stated that he would reprovide the documents that he previously submitted. Fahey suggested that the original minutes on the townhome development be researched to determine if there was any reference to the retaining wall. These minutes should be provided to Mr. McNabb and the City Attorney. CENTRE PLACE Fahey reported that it appears that Mr. Nick Boosalis has done substantially what the City had required with regard to screening of his retail building on Rice Street. Tim Townsley, Iona Lane resident, appeared before the Council and reported that the retaining wall that has been constructed is not the height that the developer had indicated. Townsley also reported that there are less trees than were agreed to. Fahey reported that City records indicate that the developer agreed to plant 8 trees along the fence. Townsley disagreed and indicated that the number of trees was to be 16. Townsley was also concerned that the trees are not the height that was promised. Townsley stated that the developer was to leave an area of 30 feet on the north side of the fence untouched, Page 9
