Re: Albert Villas 6th Addition
Dear Mr. Thomas:
As you are aware Section 1 G of the Developer's Agreement requires that potential
purchasers of any lots within the subdivision be provided certain information prior to the
sale of those lots. That information includes: identifying the required thirty (30) foot
wetland setback building restrictions, the location of all future parks within Said Plat, and
the location of all sidewalks, trails and easements.
I have reviewed the packet of materials provided to me by Darryl Fults of Building Sites,
Inc. The necessary information has been provided to the builders however, some of the
information is being provided by way giving the builders a copy of the Developer's
Agreement and attached exhibits.
The trail easements for lots 14 and 15 are sufficiently identified by the inclusion of the
actual easements in the materials. The 30 foot wetland setback is identified in the
restrictive covenants which are satisfactory.
The location of the sidewalks, other trails and easements can only be found by way of an
exhibit to the Developers Agreement. This is not explicit enough notice of these
locations. The City is concerned that the eventual home owners could purchase lots
without having been notified of the location of the sidewalks trails and other easements.
It is my suggestion that the builders be provided legible copies of Exhibits C, C-I and C-
2 of the Developer's Agreement under a separate specific cover letter identifying them.
The cover letter should indicate that the Developer's Agreement requires that these
locations be provided to the end users of the lots.
If you have any questions or comments please contact me.
Sincerely,
David R. Wendorf
