Member Wall asked if the Whaley house would be tom down (Yes). Chairman Wietecki asked if there would be a change in the Comprehensive Plan (Yes, it would require a change to medium density). Gordie Howe, representing Masterpiece Homes, explained the layout and the open space including a gazebo. He noted that, in order to make this project work, 16 single-level townhomes would be required on this site. He stated he had met with the neighbors on April 29, 1995, and will include many of the recommendations from the neighbors including significant landscaping. He expressed concern about a 6' high fence along the north property line. Chairman Wietecki asked what the back of the units will look like and suggested that they should have architectural interest since they will be viewed by the neighbors. 5
