if desired. The City wanted Sproul to dedicate the second parcel. Mr. Hollenbeck stated that the dedication of the other 65 acres would cause somewhat of an economic burden, but be- cause this is one thing that the City suggested that Sproul do, he felt that Sproul has come to the point where they would giv both parcels of land under the circumstances where the City would have to use that second parcel of land within a certain amount of time for golf course purposes if this was not taken care of, then the second parcel unit of land would be returned to Sproul. Mr. Bean stated that the amount of open land would be about 23%, this would include 2 schools, three neighborhood parks, 18 hole golf course, the Community Club building and the open space in the amount of 72 acres. Councilman Domenico asked who would maintain South 80th and Delaney Road. Mr. Hollenbeck stated that when the roads are within property which is annexed, they then become the obligation of the City. It was stated that all roads in the development will be built oy the developer. The roads will be built to City specificatiion. I I Councilman Dom~nico asked what happens if a portion of the land is sold to a b4ilder and he does not comply with the annex- ation agreemend. Mr. Hollenbeck stated that if a company came in and would n~t comply with the agreement the City just would not approve thelir subdivision. If the subdivision plat has been approved ~d the lots are sold to the builder and he is doing somethingj which does not comply with the agreement, the City would !then go to court and get an injunction to pro- hibit the builder from proceeding to do what is not in com- pliance with th~ agreement. Mayor Was chak aisked if Sproul had an idea as to when they would be ready to beg~n the project if approved.
