Approved recording after the Final Plat has been recorded. She added that the trails in the other tracks will be dedicated as those final plats come in for approval. Howard asked if it was possible that land for the trails could not be dedicated. Fernelius added that easements cannot be recorded on a plat, so one of the conditions of approval is that the Developer grants the City those trail easements for the trails that are shown on the approved plan. O'Keefe inquired if the finishing exterior materials provided have met with staff approval. Fernelius replied that staff has been impressed with that they have seen and the Developers have done a good job in responding to the Design Guidelines that require a mix of materials. He added that the City has not received a copy of the color renderings from Sherman and Associates and staff recommends as a condition of approval that they have to provide that to the City. Greenfield approached the Commission to explain what materials will be used on the exterior of the buildings. Motion by Baker, Second by Schiferl to CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. 4 Ayes, 0 Nays. Baker stated that the new lay out for the housing development is very nice, and likes it better than the other lay out. He added that it's a good use of public and private roads and appreciates the additional green space that was added. Howard agreed with Baker, but wants to make sure that the connections to the park are secured; it's what makes this development so unique. Fernelius stated that staff has had several meetings with the rail roads to discuss the trail connections, and while there is a verbal agreement with the rail road the next step is to formalize it in a written document. O'Keefe replied that the connection to the park is of great value to this development and it should be used as a basis for the payment of those connections.
