Barrett asked the developer if there are any other easements that will be granted.. Gleason said no. Jabbour said there should be a conservation easement over the wetland. Kelley asked if the developer is planning to install street lights. Gleason responded that street lights will be installed. Kelley asked what the height of the lights will be. Gleason said the lights will meet the City's requirements. Kelley said he is concerned that the lights will be too tall and will not be appropriate for a residential area. He would like to see the lighting plan because he would prefer lower poles and more lights. Gappa said the lighting plan and the landscaping plan will be presented to the Council for • approval. Gleason said he is concerned that the estimates by Gappa on which the letters of credit will be based are too high. He would like to base the letters of credit on actual bids, not on the City's estimates. Kellogg said the estimates are based on actual bids placed on projects in the community over the past two years. Jabbour said the developer and the City Engineer should resolve this issue together. Gleason said he is concerned about the Plan B Improvements Construction Security as it pertains to the street to be built in the future. He would like a time limit so they are not required to maintain a letter of credit for an indefinite period of time. Kelley agreed with Gleason because the letter of credit may not be valid if the development company is no longer in existence. Jabbour said the City will call the letter of credit if it is not renewed. He said the street may never be built. He asked for staff's recommendation. 40 Page 6
