DESIGN REVIEW BOARD AND PARK BOARD MEETING February 20, 1991 Corson proposed that most of the residents would be first home buyers with possibly closer to the wetland second home buyers. A site plan for each phase of development will be brought before the city council for final approval before construction begins on each phase. The park issue was discussed further and a motion was made. MOTION: Candy Toffoli moved to accept the park dedication as proposed for the Wenzel Farms subdivision consisting of the area approximately 7 /10ths of an acre as proposed park land. The remainder will be given as a cash dedication given to the city as each phase receives final plat approval. John Bauman seconded the motion and the motion was approved unanimously. Street names were discussed. On the proposed plat the streets names consisted of "Ivy Ridge Lane, Ivy Ridge Court, Ivy Ridge Drive" and Andy Neal brought up the fact that the post office, fire and police department have a hard time when the street names are so similar. They decided that Ivy Ridge Lane would be used, but the rest of the streets would be named differently. John Miller will decide on the street names. Entrance monuments will be similar to the subdivision in Blaine called "Autumn Woods" a picture was handed out showing that monument. It will be wooded with large rocks and plantings below. A considerable amount of landscaping is proposed. Landscaping has doubled from the originally presented plat. Trees purchased will be 5 1/2 feet tall. The entrance also shows two berms with ornamental bushes. Mr. Corson stated that instead of using berms between the townhouse units and the single - family units they proposed to install a double row of conifers such as Green or Black Hills Spruce which do well in this area. Roof material was questioned. Roger Hokanson stated they would be organic asphalt shingles. The colors of the townhomes will be earth tones. Corson stated that the minimum price of the townhomes would be $80,000. The square footage is an average of 1500 square feet. The main floor would be 1,018 and at the most upstairs would consist of two bedrooms and a bathroom. Vern Reinert stated that this will be the first townhome project going in to the city and 3
