Mr. Goertz replied the townhomes would look similar, but the single - family homes would be unique. Vice Chair Rafferty noted they were looking for something different in this development. Mr. Goertz replied there would three or four different styles, with one or two of them being better sellers. Mr. Tralle expressed concern about the homes all being the same colors. Mr. Goertz replied they would be different colors. Vice Chair Rafferty asked for public comments. Wayne Lasky, 6200 Linda Lane, stated he was hoping this area would remain single - family homes and was against the townhomes because he believed they would lead to lesser property values, and he did not believe the property was large enough for townhomes. He expressed concern about the value of his property if the townhomes were put in. Homeowner, 6224 Linda Lane, agreed with Mr. Lasky and stated he would like to see single - family homes in this development. He also expressed concern about the value of this property going down with townhomes being in this development. He stated he bought into the neighborhood thinking it would be single - family homes. Becki McDonald, 6212 Linda Lane, agreed with the previous comments. She stated she had been in a detached townhome development previously and believed they presented the feeling of row houses. She stated she had moved into this area because of the larger lots and the rural feel. She asked the construction traffic not go through the Fox Trace • • •
