Bob Reihman noticed that the plans drawn by Frederick showed nine duplexes on Lot 48 and asked if there was any way to limit to less than nine duplexes. Frederick said those plans had not been made. Davis said that once the lot was sold, plans would be drawn up' that would be subject to city ordinances, city review and approval in the form of a planned area. Davis indicated that any site plan would have to meet the approval of the city at that time. Citizen asked if the developer could create a problem and leave the area. Attorney Greenleaf explained that subdivision requests must follow numerous constraints of the city' s regulation concerning zones, subdivision regulations and building. Thecity e subdivison ordinance provides for posting bond for work in the subdivision that must be i:, completed, the proposed subdivider' s agreement additionally provides for improvement work to be completed prior to issuance of any occupancy permits in the subdivision. Bill Ruppert asked why the Oakdale required R-2 zone adjacent. Frederick explained that the Oakdale Boulevard as part of the future plan for the city was a roadway that the city has proposed to have a limited number of accesses. The city is planning that each home will not have a driveway to exit into the street for safety of traffic. The use of one exit for multiple dwellings allows for vehicles to drive forward into- Oakdale, but not back into Oakdale. Dolezal asked the location of detention area. Frederick said they were not certain which side of Roberts Ferry would catch storm water, and perhaps both sides would catch water. Petersen thought the condominium association on Abby Court and Terra Court in North Liberty seemed to be positive arrangements in North Liberty and he envisions that these in Timber Ridge View,will be similar and be good for Tiffin. Gericke thought the duplexes exiting on Oakdale would be ok, but the site plans would need to be reviewed carefully for. fire truck access to the units. Scott Gealow asked what fraffic effect this might have on the area. Frederick agreed that the area I now built. would be most affected during PhaseI. The completion of work in Phase II and completion of Oakdale would probably divide the traffic to somewhat. All r; three streets ended with deadend stubs that did not hide that they might one day continue on with growth of the city. Citizen asked if the developer will be working with the people living next door to this new work. Karla-Davis said the developer would not attempt to cause problems to a neighbor. Concern regarding intersection issues of Oakdale Blvd, Roberts Ferry and the Ireland Avenue Y was raised, Frederick will need to do further study for safety concerns here. Mayor Potter explained that the city recognizes the Roberts Ferry safety problem. Lack of funds is the reason the city has not provided improvements. It is hoped that state S 1 t M r Y rt
