Mark Putman, Towne Lakes Engineer, Dave Hempl, and Shelley Thompkins were present. City Attorney Couri went over the Developer's Agreement.

It may be a little cottage on the homeowner's property that could house a "Family Member". Family Member defined as a brother, sister, parent, child, grandchild, or grandparent of the owner. City Attorney Couri commented that it the next item in the Developer's Agreement would make it hard for some of the homeowners to build a second dwelling unit. The maximum impervious surface coverage is 30% with the exception of a few lots. Mayor Olson added that this would be in a future phase. The first phase is single family housing. Berning asked about the pool. When would that be going in? Towne Lakes representatives commented that the timing of the schedule for the pool would be tied in with possibly the Second Phase of the development. Berning wanted to make sure it would be put in for the incoming homeowners. If that is one of the selling points of the development, he wants to see it go in. 0 Albertville City Council Minutes June 18, 2001 Page 4 of 6 • Towne Lakes confirmed that they would not misinform the buyers.
