60 feet and 70 feet. A 15 foot separation is proposed between houses.
He said a network of planned open space, trail systems and amenities are planned throughout the
project to link the neighborhoods with a centralized aquatics center and to the Grand Canal

Commissioner Dobbelaere asked about the finish of the driveways. Mr. Froke explained each
would have interlocking brick pavers.
Vice Chairperson Aldama asked if this development would have a Homeowners Association.
Mr. Froke said yes.
Vice Chairperson Aldama asked what type of commercial uses are proposed in this area. Mr.

The Commission believed this is a nice, upgraded project and thanked Mr. Froke for the
presentation.

state those questions during the public meeting.
