Item 6
Acting Mayor Neils stated it was the Council's opinion that an eight
foot fence between the lots would be desirable but the advice of the
City Attorney was that it %ould be illegal to use City funds for this
private purpose. HUD funds cannot be used for the same reason.

additional screening. He also asked for a variance to build an eight
foot fence on his property as well as a waiver of the $75 variance fee.

into the matter further to determine if there are other possible
solutions which would allow the City to erect necessary screening at
this site.

proposed as too intense.

Manager Willis introduced a request from Honeywell to install
service road on their property at 12001 Highway 55. The
request is necessary at this time to allow for the proposed
expansion of the building next spring. They hope to have the
rood constructed this year.
Councilmember Schneider stated his concern that this service
drive, as it parallels C.R. 15, is to within 10 feet of that
dedicated right-of-way. He disagrees with the location of the
service drive because it extends too far south by R1 -A zoning.

Hoyt, directing staff to authorize a grading peniit for bituminous
surfacing of the roadway and advising the peti'Zioner to be familiar

that their risk exposure in the future is minimized.
Councilmember Schneider stated that whatever buffering is present
now will he removed when the road is graded.

Because they will `e installed and paid for totally by
Prudential, no public hearing is required.
Jim Schaefer, 3045 Oakview Lane and member of the Westminster
FomecrwnersAssociation, stated that the Association is concerned
abo r?. the lack of communication between Prudential and the home-
owners. He did not know th^ street lighting issue was going to be
brought to the Council until he saw an agenda on Friday, 00-0er 16.
The neighbors would like the lighting to be moderate and it
appears that the plan is for extr4ordinary lighting which woulc.
interfere O th the homes in the neighburhoud and enjoyment of the
sunset. He urged the Council's restraint in ooproving the lighting
plan until the neighborhood has an opportunity to review it. He
stated he thought the Council and Prudentiel were trying to pasF
something by the neighbors without telling them.
Acting Mayor Neils asked Mr. Schaefer not to view this Ratter as
an attempt on the part of the Council or Prudential to put something
over on the neighbors but as lack of awareness on the developer's pert
of the interest level of the neighbors regarding issues such as thi!.
Councilmember Hoyt pointed out that the Council only heard about the
plans when they received their meeting information packet on Friday
and there was no intention of ;trying to get around the neighbors.
