A street connection from either Bateleur Court or Grosbeak Court to County Road 13 should be provided. The current plans show a 51' right-of-way for a future street from Bateleur Court to the country road.

Tracts 'B' and 'D' do not appear to be within any of the landscaping phases proposed in the Second Filing. b. Why are there very few trees proposed for any of the open space tracts? Except for an existing Cottonwood and 3 trees behind Lot 10, these areas separating the blocks are devoid of trees. More are recommended. C. It would be helpful if the phase lines were made darker and labeled so that they would be easier to see and follow.

Provide a concrete path, not gravel, between the cul-de-sac at the end, of Bateleur Court and County Road 13. b. The longer trail off of the road at the curve between Country Road 13 and Inverness Drive should provide a concrete "apron" or flared area as the path approaches Country Road 13 so that gravel does not drag out onto that road.

Mike Spurgin of the Post Office stated that they have no concerns or comments at this time. 2. Lori Digliani of Police Services offered the following comments: a. It appears that Grosbeak Court is a continuation of Hearthfire Drive and, therefore, should not have a separate street name. b. Buntwing Court and Bateleur Court are the same street and should have one name. Continuous straight line streets need to maintain the same name to decrease confusion. C. Town Center Drive makes a 90 degree turn. This will result in abrupt address changes for the same street. They are requesting a different street name when the street direction changes to this degree or higher for continuity in addressing. 3. The Mapping/Drafting Department offered the following comments: a. The subdivision plat and legal description do close. b. Information must be provided regarding the portion of Grosbeak Court shown to be ".....Dedicated by Separate Document'. 281 North College Avenue • P.O.
