installed, Mooresville sanitary sewers, public water, natural gas, telephone, electric power and cable television. The following infrastructure will be installed, Fire hydrants, Bridge Street will be widened to provide four lanes, Hadley Road will be widened to provide three lanes, and decorative streetlights will be install. These lights will be maintained by the Village Homeowners Association and the Town of Mooresville will be asked to contribute the standard amount of street lighting. The setbacks for the front line is 25 feet, side building line 4feet minimum, 12 feet aggregate, corner lot front setback will be 25 feet, side of building on street 10 feet, and rear building line 20 feet. The business/retail area will have the following standards of exterior of buildings must be compatible with style of homes, use will be limited to low impact uses that would be complement to the area, landscaping must provide a screen for the adjoining homes and signage and lighting must be compatible with the development theme. There will be a main boulevard through the center of the development, which will be divided by a median with a roundabout circle in the center. The main boulevard will have two -foot concrete chair curbs and gutter, a five-foot grass area between street and the four -foot sidewalk. The other streets will be typical two-lane layout, with two foot concrete roll curb and gutter. The alleys will be twenty feet wide with fourteen foot wide asphalt for access to the back of some of the homes. The entrance sign would be of brickwork with mounds of about eight to ten feet high on each side with landscaping. Mr. Holloway said this development would be similar to the development in Carmel called Village of West Clay. Commissioner Bryant asked how close in proportion were these lots to those in West Clay and Mr. Holloway said the West Clay lots were 50'X100' and the majority were smaller. Commissioner Young asked if the school buses would be able to turn around in the cul-de-sacs on the main streets and Mr. Holloway said they were typical of the cal -de -sacs in Mooresville. Mr. Young said that in one of the developments he has seen that the E buses have to pull up and back up about three times to get turned around. Mr. Holloway said the reason was that the minor radius on the cal -de -sacs was to sharp too start the turn; these radiuses are 60 foot so school buses should be to hug the curb and turn around in the cul-de-sac. Mr. Young asked if they could turn a fire truck around in one of those and Mr. Bruner said their regular fire truck probably could. Mr. McGuire asked Mr. Bruner if they would still put the fire hydrants out in the front, and he said that brought up a good question, normally they have always been up front. Mr. McGuire said they could access both sides of the alley and Mr. Young stated that all other utilities would be in the back instead of out front. Mr. Holloway stated that for the record he was submitting the booklet named Villages at Eastmoore as part of the permanent record. Mr. Young asked if they could give a percentage of two-story homes that might be built and Mr. Holloway stated that he no idea since the homes would be custom built. The round about will have an inside diameter of ninety-five feet and landscaped. Mr. Holloway said they would probably like to start construction in the spring. Commission Young asked if they were going to submit a landscaping plan and Mr. Holloway said yes. They will show a typical landscaping for a home and the boulevard. Mr. Young asked why the far east section of Bridge Street, which Mr. Hopkins put in, had to be reworked and repaved by the County. Mr. Holloway said that Mr. Hopkins did put it in and that it fell apart that is why the County had to repair it. Mr. Young asked how we could be sure that this would not happen with this development. Mr. Beikman said that Mr. Hopkins put in the street according to County standards, the Town standards are more stringent that the county's. This development will be in town so it will have to meet town standards. Mr. Young asked what percent of homes would have to be occupied before there is a homeowners association and Mr. t
