Present: Randy Patterson, Alderman
Fred Batt, Superintendent of Public Works
Bernie Narusis, City Attorney
Brian Cunat, developer of proposed Fawn Ridge Apartments
Purpose: To discuss remaining concerns before recommending approval of
Industrial Revenue Bonds for this project.
Brian Cunat presented an updated landscaping plan for the project which
included about three times as many trees as the previous plan. Brian agreed
to have Pete Merkel review the proposed trees to ensure they would be
aesthetically pleasing and not create a possible nuisance to the City. For
example, Brian agreed not to plant Weeping Willows (substitute with sunburst
locust or similar tree) , and to eliminate the proposed corner blue spruce
which may create a site distance problem.
Brian then explained that the buildings would be covered with 80% brick veneer
of a reddish brown color, and the remainder of the building would be covered
with a blue-gray vinyl siding. He said that he would have an artist's
rendition available at the next council meeting. In response to Alderman
Patterson's concern about architectural aesthetics, Brian said they would add
fan windows or a gabled roof over the entrance ways to help break up the
linear appearance of the project.
Brian said they would install sidewalks, do snow removal , and install
decorative street lighting at the project entrances.
Regarding traffic concerns, Brian said he would check out the costs of
McCullom Lake Road improvements. Since the meeting, Brian has agreed to
install a left turn lane and deceleration lane on McCullom Lake Road into the
project entrance.
A lengthy discussion followed regarding the extension of water and sewer
lines. Since this is a city policy matter, we tabled the matter for the
upcoming Council session that will discuss our current ordinances and
policies. Brian agreed to do whatever is called for in our current ordinance.
As�we adjourned the meeting, a suggestion was made that we apply some of the
Subdivision Control Ordinance standards to all developments.
Respectfully submitted,
