Hovanian Homes has submitted a new preliminary plat and preliminary site plan for the <br />remaining undeveloped area of Ramsey Town Center ih Addition. As you may recall, Town <br />Center ih Addition, located south of Bunker Lake Blvd. between Rhinestone Street and Town <br />Center Drive, consists of 21 acres to be developed with 190 townhomes.

This reduction in units equates to a net density of 11.5 units per acre. <br /> <br />The previously approved site plan contained 36 back-to-back units and 154 rowhouses.
