Planning and Development Director Edwards responded that the residential housing density
for the acreage has not decreased; however, he reminded the Commission that the applicant
must meet the Town's open space, setback, and building height requirements when
development occurs.
Mr. Joe Schneider, Hillwood Development, responded that the applicant intends to meet the
open space requirements which could reduce the density.
Chairman Greenwood expressed his concern that simply considering the case in front of the
Commission at this time seems short sighted relative to development of the remainder of PD
3-3.

8, 2008, at 7 p.m. Commissioner Heath seconded the motion. The motion
carried by a vote of 4-0.

analysis.
