there is no buffer between the end of the cul-de-sac and Alpine Drive. She recommended that a <br />fence be constructed in that location to provide privacy for the new units as well as the people <br />who live across the street. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cook stated that he would prefer to see some sort of plantings rather than a <br />fence. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kurak replied that she did not believe that plants would provide adequate <br />screening. She stated that she would like to see the City require privacy fences along all <br />roadways and adjoining property owners. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cook inquired if the developer was proposing a substantial amount of screening <br />along C.R. #5. <br /> <br />Mr. Johnson replied yes. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig stated that he thought they were presenting a fairly decent project that <br />needs some adjustment and apologized for all of the comments being negative. He stated that he <br />would like the opportunity to sit down in a work session to work things out and allow for some <br />more discussion. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated that he would rather see trees rather than fencing because he does not want <br />to "box off' the development. He felt that the area should have a residential feeling. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cook stated that he was not in favor of fencing. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated that he thought the main issue was density. He recommended either <br />reducing the number of units or changing the layout. He stated that he would agree that the cul- <br />de-sac length should be reduced so that there is a buffer between the cul-de-sac and Alpine <br />Drive. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kurak inquired as to the price range of the units. <br /> <br />Tim Pomerleau, Oak Creek Builders, Inc., explained that they will units that range in price from <br />$150,000 to $175,000 and the walkouts will range from $230,000 to $260,000. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cook stated that he likes the concept, but felt that something could be done with <br />the density. He also noted that he agreed with the rezoning request to change a portion of the <br />property from single family residential to medium density residential. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig requested that in the.future the Council receive the plans on 1 !x17 pieces <br />of paper. He noted that he also agreed with the rezoning request. <br /> <br />Majority consensus of the City Council was to recommend that the developer proceed with the <br />rezoning. <br /> <br />City Council/June 10, 2003 <br />Page 13 of 24 <br /> <br />P63 <br /> <br /> <br />
