HEAR THE PUBLIC: None. PERFORMANCE BOND REMINDERS: None. OLD BUSINESS: Maw — 25 Appleway on the south side; apartments. Two 4-plexes. We did get some more responses back in. The flagstone area proposed for their recreational amenity that was previously going to be their fire pit seems overpriced and not appropriate to Fincher. Dedman stated the designated area is too close to the cars, fence line, and the buildings. A fire pit would need to be 15 feet from all of these. He wants the plans for the fire pit. He has not heard back from APEC yet. Fincher will contact Ahmann from APEC. There has been no response from Eric at Northwestern Energy to P. Jentz. There is some signage there that states the easement will be removed. This will be on the agenda for next week.

NEW BUSINESS: Meadows Edge — discussion on Final Plat/Building Permits. There are 12 houses that they are trying to get started. T. Jentz stated this will be going to Council for their Final Plat on May 6tn This is a PUD, and Site Review has the ability to modify provisions of the zoning and subdivision regulations. The Committee would require them to have a water system on -site for fire suppression. They will need to put in an all-weather road so fire trucks can get in. The sewer system will need to be functional. MDT will need to sign off on their permit to access the property. Their lots will need to be pinned so we can find the lots. Before they can begin construction, these items would need to be completed. Freyholtz is waiting to hear from Helena on the Maintenance Agreement. Everything looks good, but they need to go through the process. The committee agrees that this is a minor amendment to the PUD with conditions as discussed.
