advised their proposed PD Standards had been derived by using the PD Template adopted by Council. He explained their plans
to expand the pond area as part of a pocket park. Hike/bike trails would also be part of the planned development. Their desire
would be to make use of the existing trees and use deciduous/evergreen landscape. The applicant requested 30,000 sq. ft. lots
along the main, entry of 10hoo street with 121,500 soy, ft. loots behind those. The total density 'would be approxi�iiately 1 .UY units/Wre,
and the total home size would most likely be 2,400 sq. ft.
Although the PD Template had been followed in creating the PD Standards, Mr. Clark listed several items in which their proposed
standards differed from the template.

Subdivision/Golf Club.
Public Works Director Bill Little advised that many of the suggested names could present possible confusion for the Police and
Fire Departments, and the chosen name should not sound like any other streets in the area.

Michael Perry stated that because it was a major spine road through the community, "Prosper Trail" would be suitable.

agreement. He did not feel that the Town could guarantee that funds would always be available for such increases.
Sally Holmberg, 1506,Riverhill Drive, questioned the buyout provision addressed in the agreement. Jennifer Finley advised the
severance package (buyout provision) included a 6 -month lump sum payment if the candidate were to be terminated without
cause within the first year of employment and a 90 -day lump sum payment if the candidate were to be terminated without cause
within the second year of employment. Ms. Finley explained that the Town would not be obligated to pay severance if the
candidate were terminated due to poor performance, etc. Ms. Holmberg stated that she was opposed to buyout agreements.
Mayor Dunmire explained that buyout packages are standard for key positions in other cities. Ms. Holmberg questioned whether
any other employees of the Town had or would have buyout packages. Mayor Dunmire advised that no other employees had
such contracts; however, it was probably because of the relatively small size of the Town.
