He stated that 50% open space <br />is impossible to do unless working with detached townhomes or higher density. <br /> <br />Councilmember Strommen. stated she wants to hear from additional developers beyond the <br />developer who is working with a Councilrriember. She stated she would like a broader <br />prospective prior to setting the ordinance. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec concurred. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cook stated that if three or more developers say the same thing, that 50% open <br />space is impossible, then maybe it will have to be reconsidered.
