PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS Planning Commission Chairman Callahan was present but had no comments at this point in the meeting. PUBLT.0 COMMENTS Phil Miller of 2435 Countryside Drive was present. Phil Miller noted that he lives in one of the six homes on Countryside Drive. Miller stated that the developer of Countryside Manor has an agreement with the association to install entryway monuments. Miller informed Council that the monuments were supposed to be installed two years ago. Miller asked the Council if the City has any documents that require the developer to install the monuments. Miller stated that he wants the monuments installed because the developer has a temporary easement over his property to instil ll the monuments and he cannot finish his landscaping until the monuments are installed. Miller asked the City to restrict any bui lding permits from the second addition of the development until the developer installs the entryway monuments. Zoning Administrator Mabusth stated that the conditions of the documents that the City has on file do not i,iclude the requirement that the entryway monuments be installed. Mabusth explained that the developer came into the City with plans to install 8' high entryway monuments and staff advised the developer to advise staff of the location for signs because they may pose a traffic safety hazard. Mabusth stated that staff has not heard back from the developer. City Attorney Radio stated that if the improvements were not bonded or included in the documents of the City, that the City cannot require the developer to install the monuments. Radio asked staf f to contact the developer just to make sure there is not a misunderstanding. Radio noted that if the developer agreed to installing the monuments in the privat? covenants, then the homeowners association would have more control over the developer then the City would. Council directed staff to contact Richard Conryto determine if he was or was not waiting for approval of the City. 1884 RICHARD ELLER 2655 SHADYWOOD ROAD VARIANCE Richard Eller was not present.
