preliminary plat if he remembers correctly. This is about done. This is just a technicality.
He said the patio home were the original development when Mr. Coker was on the board.

Austin Blevins — Davis Place — Talking to people in the Davis Place, roads and access are
real big concern. He said they have an existing one street subdivision now and there are
at least three different connection points. Why could there not be dedicated entrance off
Slack Road going into this new development. It is not going to meet restrictions existing
restrictions from lot sizes to pitch of the roof, the third or front of the house has to be
stone or material other than vinyl siding, he talked about other requirements. He talked
about his route home from work. He talked more about traffic flow. He said their biggest
stake in the game is the access. They shouldn’t be able to pass through the existing Davis
Place to get to where they are going. He asked about streetlights and traffic increase. He
also asked about the zoning. He also talked about the new school and overcrowding.
Having all those existing accesses, there is going to be an influx of traffic. He wants there
to be direct access from Slack Road and not have people come through Davis Place.

John Duggan — 1002 Towanda Trail — He has an issue with access. Citizens are asking
why there is no access off Slack Road. There are no speed limit signs. There is a problem
throughout the city. They need a plan to think about that. It is a high-risk issue. A second
access point needs to be dealt with. This area has been cut into roads and no one has
come to repair the potholes. They want the name of the entire neighborhood to not be
called Davis Place. He said they are in a high-cost society and there needs to be more
planning. If there are guidelines in the charter about safety concerns, that need to be

addressed first.

Mr. Medders said this property was all Mr. Haren’s property to begin with. All this was
part_of the entire subdivision, and the roads were roughed in with the original
development of phase 1. Those entrances were roughed with the original layout 5 years
ago. There has never been an entrance off Slack Road. The two-lane road was built to
city standards when it was originally built. They are almost finished with the subdivision,
it has expired and they need it to be resigned. The restricted covenants were on put on the
lots that were platted and approved at that time.

Mr. Blevins said in theory there would be no difference if phase 2 was approved for tiny
homes.

Mr. Medders said that is correct. The restrictions were on the original lots, not the land
themselves.

Mr. Blevens said they need to be separated because they are different. It is only up to the
developer to determine the name of the subdivision.

Someone spoke up and said the intent is that to be apart it needs to coincide with it when
it is built.

Mr. Medders said the development is 99% done all they have is paving. They only have
technicality now because the preliminary is expired. He asked for approval.
