Flint said he was satisfied with Gleason’s response. <br />Gleason said he needs to take the City ’s suggestions and put together a plan for the City to <br />review. He said most of the suggestions seem to be okay, but he is concerned about the rip <br />rap and the island cul-de-sac. <br />Flint said the Council was concerned about the amount of building and black top and anything <br />the developer can do to soften the appearance will help. <br />Jabbour said he did not think the City would require the rip rap. <br />Kelley said he did not think the island in the cul-de-sac would be a good idea. <br />Van Zomeren said it was not staff’s intention that the island in the cul-de-sac would be <br />required. <br />Jabbour asked if the City Attorney was comfortable with the language of the agreement. <br />Barrett said he is conrfortable that the subdivider’s agreement addresses the issues that have <br />been raised by the Council.
