DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT AMENDMENT REQUEST, SUNNYSLOPE ADDITION
Mr. Bob Waibel presented a brjef report on Mr. Gray's requested
amendments concerning the putting green and acquiring permits,
He stated the reasons why it is not pertinent to bind the developers
to instanning the putting green are:
1 )
Beyond the installation of the putting gr~en there would
be additional investments for grooming and maintenance equipment.

2) Not installing the putting green would allow greater
flexibility in deciding v.J hat the area could b eu sed
for (i.e., swimming pool, sod).
Mr. Gray began answering questions and then reported that the
sewer, blacktop and other requirements cost $57,000+. He said
they found some organic material in the turn-around of the road,
costing them an additional amount in excess of $40,000. Mr. Gray
reassured the Planning Commission that their intentions of per-
formance are valid, and that they have agreed to have papers drawn
up which will indicate that the realty company (Marve Anderson Real
Estate) is authorized or directed to place the money they receive
into an escrow account until sufficient monies are gathered to
guarantee that all amenities are taken care of.
Mr. Thompson inquired whether the agreement made with the
attorney/city was verbal or written.
r~r. Gray informed that the agreement was verbal. He stated
that Don Ashworth agreed it was satisfactory and that a letter
so indicating the escrow would be drawn up by the developers and
delivered to the City on Friday or Monday.
Mr. Gray continued that some of the lots (6 and 9) have been
sold, He added that there is no demo house at this time but one
will be built.
Mr. Bell inqui~ed whether or not there was lake access on
this development.
Mr. Gray informed that there was. The decision of a dock
on the access would lie with the association within the development.
Mr. Hnrn questioned if it was an outlot,
Mr. Gray said that it was, and that they had asked for a building
on the lot at a prior date.
Mr. Horn informed that they would be required to obtain a
Conditional Use Permit.
Tom Hamilton obs~rved that page 4 of their Development Contract
stated that they would submit a written schedule on or before
September 1, 1979. Bob Waibel informed that this date was extended
to September 1, 1980.
Mr. Gray concluded that they need to find the cofts of the
bituminous and curbs and would like to see the putting green area
left up to the association.
In regard to the referenced subject the following Motions were
made:
Clark Horn moved, Jack Bell seconded, that the putting green
is not the developers requirement and the verbage indicating such
in Paragraph 1. "Improvements by Developers" shall be deleted.
Motion carried.
