MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JANUARY 25, 1995 The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Scalze. Ayes (5) Morelan, Scalze, Fahey, Pedersen, LaValle. Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. REZONING, Fahey opened the public hearing to consider the PUD & FINAL application of Masterpiece Homes for Rezoning, Planned PLAT - Unit Development, and Final Plat for Cobblestone COBBLESTONE Village. Fahey noted that both the Planning Commission VILLAGE and City Planner have recommended approval. Gordie Howe, Masterpiece Homes, presented a diagram of the street lights he is planning for the development, reporting that there would be seven street lights in the project. Howe also proposed a monument sign on each side of the street as you enter the project. The City Planner replied that the Code allows identification signs for a development. That type of signage is limited to 24 square feet in size and 8 feet in height. There is no restriction on the number of signs, however. Fahey suggested that the entrance signage be subject to review and approval of the City Planner. Howe asked the Council if he could be issued building permits for two of the buildings prior to recording of the final plat. Howe estimated that it takes 60 days to get a final plat recorded, and he would like to get a couple of models under construction. The City Administrator suggested that if Mr. Howe enters into a development agreement with the City to ensure that the project is completed, he saw no problem with issuing two building permits. There was no one from the general public present wishing to comment on this matter. Upon motion by Scalze, seconded by Morelan, the public hearing was closed. Morelan asked the advantages and disadvantages to the City in having private streets. Fahey pointed out that the City is not responsible for plowing or maintenance of private streets. Fahey 3
