CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION DRAFT 2 Metzer said they are putting hundreds of thousands of dollars in trying to make this change 46 because they do not think the original plan will work. 47 48 Further discussion was held on the market, various housing types versus villas, lot sizes, and 49 prices per unit, and Council’s preference for elimination of the townhomes in exchange for 50 single family homes on 50-60 foot lots in place of the proposed 12-14 acres of green space in 51 Concepts A and B. 52 53 City Planner Larsen summarized the discussion noting the townhomes do not have traction, 54 however the layout of the development will look and feel the same with single-family homes. 55 There would be support to incorporate 50, 55, and 60 foot lots. 56 57 Council provided direction for Mr. Metzer and Lennar Homes to visit a plan with 50, 55, and 60 58 foot lots for single family homes. 59 60 3.
