Mr. Harlicker reviewed the conditions of approval. He noted that the City will be working with the developer on the paving of 22151 Avenue. City Engineer Terry Maurer noted that a number of the lots will need landscaping retaining walls in the rear of the lots in order to minimize fill and not encroach on the wetlands. Commissioner Baker asked if the sidewalk would be concrete or bituminous. Mr. Harlicker stated that it would be bituminous. Commissioner Pederson asked if some of the streets exceeded the City's maximum length for a cul-de-sac. Mr. Maurer stated that two of the streets do exceed the City's policy of 700 feet, since one is 800 feet and the other is just over 800 feet. He noted that the cul-de-sac is not measured from where it is temporarily, but from where it will be permanently, when the property to the east is developed. Chair Mesich asked if mowed trails are feasible in the wetland area. Mr. Maurer stated that he felt it would be possible. Mr. Glines expressed his agreement. . Commissioner Baker asked what type of architectural theme is being proposed. Mr. Harlicker explained that theme is typical of what has been done in other cluster developments: fencing, entrance house into the site, center island cul-de-
