He stated that a variance was <br />received for lot sizes, and they would still like to have enough space in the front of the homes for <br />the parking and driveways. He noted that this would be the last clean-up as they head into design. <br />Motion by Commissioner Peters, seconded by Commissioner VanScoy, to close the public hearing. <br />Planning Commission/ October 28, 2021 <br />Page 11 of 23 <br /> <br />
