She commented this is a little dirt road. Chairperson Nixt stated the issue was in the. record and the Planning Commission will take that into consideration when they make a recommendation. Ms. Hampton questioned what would happen if the developer kept going and put more money into this project until it was too late to stop it.

Commissioner Van Scoy asl<ed S taft about the lots shown on the drawing, which were referred to in Ms. Pickhardt's letter. Iqe asl<ed if Staff was looking at a different definition ora lot because these are townhomcs. Associate Planner' Wald stated they are, noting that w{th townhomes the lot is usually the foundation, however they draw boxes around it to make it easier to record, at the County. She indicated the proposal is meeting the townhouse size requirements, so it is not really lot size they look at, but building size. Ms. Pickard noted that in her point lbur, it should say nine units, not six. She indicated she also wants to note that concerning the street, residents were not allowed to have mail delivery or school bus service on the street because it is a private drive. She stated her letter refers to all four cases to be presented, and other comments specifically address rezoning. Milt Wyshalt, 15407 Old Nowthen Boulevard, questioned how they could be at the preliminary plat stage when a preliminary sketch plan has not-been approved.
