Update on Adherence to Design Guidelines for Northwest Quadrant Residential Development. Schiferl requested an update on the adherence to the design guidelines for the Northwest Quadrant, specifically the west side. He is concerned that the green use and environmentally friendly Design Guidelines are not being incorporated into the residential district. While the developers did answer some of his questions, he is still not satisfied that the guidelines are being met. He encourages staff to continue asking the developer how they will be incorporating those guidelines into the development. Fernelius replied that the developers are currently meeting the design and site standards that the guidelines have set out. Schiferl stated that these sustainable guidelines could be put into the developer's agreement if the city does not want to put them into the Zoning Code. He added that while the residential area is under the guidelines, without it being codified there is no way to guarantee that the developers will comply with the sustainable uses. Schiferl stated that he would continue bring this subject up for public discussion so that the Developers will comply with the guidelines. O'Keefe inquired what happened with the Commission's recommendation to the Council regarding the Preliminary Plat. Fernelius replied that it was reviewed on the fourteenth by the Council; the Council did not take action, in part due to the ordinance in evidence that was discussed earlier. They will take a look at it again on the 28th. O'Keefe asked if the Commission will be seeing a list of building materials and color elevations. Fernelius replied that they will see those items when the Developer's come back for their final plat approval. O'Keefe and Baker stated that they would like to see those items as soon as possible, so it can be reviewed before they come before the Commission.
