MINUTES: The City Manager indicated that in the fifth line of the first paragraph on page 8 of the Minutes of September 11, 1967, "not" should be changed The City Attorney indicated that he would wish to change paragraph 6 on page 8 of the Minutes of September 11, 1967, to read as follows: "General discussion ensued as to the possibility of the annexa- tion being blocked by court action initiated by the opponents of the annexation. The City Attorney advised that, of course, if the annexation procedures were invalid, they could be held up permantly by an injunction. However, if a preliminary or perma~emt injunction were not issued by the trial court, the annexation would not be held up pending an appeal by the unsuc- cessful plaintiff, except if a Writ of Supersedeas were issued, which would be very unusual in these cases. A temporary Restrain- ing Order might be secured from the trial court, regardless of the merits of the case, but that, generally, would only be effective for a couple of weeks, or 15 days. On the other hand, a new annexation could be initiated at any time it is determined that the present one was invalid. The City Attorney also advised, that the Local Agency Formation Commission had almost plenary powers, and might withhold approval of the annexation for almost any reason. This might hold up the beginning of a new annexation, because of the normal one year period before the same annexation could be re-filed. However, this period can be waived by the Commission."

He indicated that the same Greenbrook homes will be utilized but that the orientation of the homes to the lot will differ. September 25, 1967 In response to a question from Councilman McCarney, Mr. Goldin indicated that the easement areas would be delineated on the plot plans as well as being displayed in the sales office area in order to insure that prospective homebuyers would be made aware of the easements and layout of the homes in regard to the easements. He further explained that this information would be contained in the Division of Real Estate's Subdivision Report which is received by each homebuyer. In response to a question from Councilman Bowen, Lee Goldin stated that the walls surrounding the Contempo home would be constructed by the developer to insure continuity in the architectural design. General discussion ensued in regard to the placement of the walls on the lots with particular reference to the height of the fences, vision clearance and setback. Mr. Goldin explained that corner lots would be designed to assure proper vehicular vision clearance for motorists and that the height of the fences within the front yard would not exceed 10 feet which will be necessary to allow passage through the archway proposed in the architectural drawings. Concern was expressed in regard to applying these same standards to other residential homes within the City and the Planning Director advised that any homeowne~ wishing to increase the height of his fence or request- ing placement of his fence outside the front yard setback would be required to obtain a variance. He further explained the criteria used in granting a variance of this type is that the location of the home and architectural design utilized in the area surrounding the home would be taken into consideration by the City in considering such an application.
