the proposed neighborhood would be a deterrent as the lot sizes were larger than required by the <br />City. He explained that only one builder was being selected and that he had a long-standing <br />professional relationship with this builder. <br /> <br />Commissioner VanScoy was pleased by the layout of the development. He requested further <br />information on the density for the proposed development. <br /> <br />Mr. Kryzaniak reported that City standards would allow him to have 3 units to the acre or 61 lots <br />on the site. He indicated he was proposing to build 44 homes on larger cul-de-sac lots. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Gladhill discussed how the City calculated net density noting <br />right-of-way was removed from this calculation.

He reiterated that the current access <br />point to Nowthen Boulevard was not up to code and was not engineered to manage the increase in <br />traffic <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
