3. Condomiminium Proposal for Lots 197-206/Jeff Marlow
Jeff Marlow from Lexington Homes is proposing single family condominiums on lots 197-206 in Shadow Ridge 2^nd Addition Subdivision. The lots were previously zoned Planned Development for the purpose of constructing 10 two-family condominiums. Mr. Marlow stated the market is calling for single family condos versus two family condos, therefore, he is proposing 20 single family homes. Marlow said the exterior can be of what ever material the board requires but he would like to mix up the exteriors and not have them all look the same. Marlow stated the 10 lots would be consolidated into one lot and managed under a condominium association declaration whereby the land would be common area maintained by the association. Marlow stated that he is just beginning to build single family homes on the opposite side of the street. Judy Benz stated the water and sewer plan was designed for 10 buildings on the 10 lots, therefore, it would be necessary to review the plan to determine how the additional buildings could be served by the utility. John Klasen stated that Mr. Marlow needs to provide a plan showing the different exterior designs proposed for the area. It was suggested by Judy Benz that Mr. Marlow meet with the Town Chairman and the Town Utility Manager to further discuss the concept along with the water and sewer lateral locations. A motion was made by Skip Lee to accept the proposed concept of 20 one family condominiums under the declaration of a condominium association. Seconded by Mary Jo Kussow. Motion carried unanimously. (See proposal attached.)

4. Final Site Plan for Toonen Apartment Project on Scheuring Road
A final site plan for the Toonen Apartment project on Scheuring Road was presented by Dave Chrouser from Mau & Associates. The proposal included the lighting and landscape plan for the complex with a verbal indication the buildings would be constructed the same as those in the Quarry Park complex. The type of lighting was not known but was indicated it would be the same as Quarry Park. A motion was made by Skip Lee to approve the final site plan contingent on a full description be provided by Toonen on the landscaping and lighting along with a letter stating the exterior of the buildings will mirror those at the Quarry Park Complex. Seconded by Brian Peterson. Discussion: John Krawczyk stated the easement providing access to the property south of this site needs to be added to the site plan. Motion carried unanimously.

Dave Chrouser from Mau & Associates was present to propose a preliminary plat for Fox River Meadows 2^nd Addition consisting of 16 lots.
