City Council meeting of January 31. 1996 Page _ The Council then considered a request by Tony Emmerich, developer for Country Fonds, to alter Paragraph 13K of the Development Aqreement, between Mr. Emmerich and the City, in order to allow for the construction of a home on Lot 6, Block 1, Country Ponds subdivision. At issue was the existence of a temporary cul-de-sac on the property, concerns for the potential location of the home on the property, and how it would be affected by the eventual removal of the cul-de-sac when 137th Street was extended to the east. Obtaining security for the eventual removal of the Cul-de-sac was recommended as an option by the City Administrator. Councilman LaValle stated that if the developer wished to renegotiate the Development Agreement, that the two other items should be considered for change: 1. The developer should remove all silt fence from the site in the near future. i. The City should require a much more detailed landscaping plan for the bermed area between the development and T.H. 61. Miron made motion, Lerou>: seconded, to table action on the request until the Council meeting of February 5, 1996, and to direct staff to work•. with Mr. Emmerich in developing the proposed amendments to the Development. Agreement, both those made by the developer and the City. All aye. Motion Carried.
