Staff is requesting that the Council treat this application as <br />if the resolutions were not before the Council tonight and that it is expected those requirements would <br />be completed prior to the next council meeting, at which time the Council would be able to approve or <br />deny the resolutions. <br /> <br />Turned noted the applicants have made some small corrections to the plans from the Planning <br />Commission meeting but that the majority of the items have remained unchanged. The requirements of <br />the Watershed District have been satisfied and the applicants will be providing for an infiltration area <br />that is under a portion of the parking lot, with drainage being diverted into that infiltration area, which <br />would eventually go into the storm water pond. Turner noted the Watershed District would be <br />reviewing this application on November 15th. <br /> <br />Murphy commented that it seems like the Council has not spent very much time on the design of the <br />buildings as compared to other projects. Murphy inquired whether the Council would be reviewing the <br />design of the buildings more closely at a future point in time. <br /> <br />Curtis stated the plan that is being presented tonight is the plan that the applicants would like to have <br />approved. <br /> <br />Murphy asked what involvement John Terrance Homes would have in this project. <br /> <br />Cook indicated John Terrance Homes would be signing the plat because they are the owner of the <br />property. <br /> <br />Murphy noted the resolution states that Central Bank and LGL Real Estate are the developers and that <br />John Terrance Homes is the owner. Murphy stated the City has had some issues with John Terrance <br />Homes in the past and inquired whether Central Bank would be buying the property at some point in <br />time. <br /> <br />Cook indicated they would be purchasing the property but that John Terrance Homes is the current <br />property owner. <br /> <br /> <br />PAGE 9 of 14 <br />Item #02 - CC Agenda - 11/26/07 <br />Approval of Council Minutes [Page 9 of 14]
