Commissioner Brauer indicated he is not saying the plan has to be set in stone, but they should have a general idea of how it will lay out. Vice Chair Johnson asked if the City Council is generally comfortable with the way it is going. Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon indicated they seem to be. Commissioner Jeffrey stated when they talk about homeowners associations, does the City have a canned set of bylaws or issues they want to see addressed in the bylaws. He thinks there should be some expectations for what should be addressed. Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon agreed that was a good point. He stated they do not have any now, and typically the City does not get involved in these associations, but there are certain things Staff would want to see in these situations so they should have a standard set. Vice Chair Johnson agreed it would be a good idea, noting Staff may be dealing with some people that are not real sophisticated in development. Commissioner Watson commented the cluster concept came up about a year ago, and he did not like it at first, but he is becoming more acclimated to it. Commissioner Jeffrey agreed, noting the public would tell them what they think of the idea at the public hearing. Commissioner Van Scoy asked if someone could plat non -buildable lots that could be sold over and above the number of buildable lots. Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon stated they will need to talk with the City Attorney about how to ensure the remainder of the land cannot be sold. Commissioner Brauer asked what happens to the sewer system after city sewer comes in. Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon stated the theory is it would be removed, and the pipes would be designed so they could work with the city sewer.
