Mattamy Homes Presentation — Rick Packer, Mattamy Homes, gave a presentation <br />19 responding to questions he heard from the council at his last visit. He reviewed the <br />20 concepts of the development proposed by Mattamy Homes: <br />21 - emphasize entrance types and user of different products; <br />22 - small neighborhoods within the development, as noted on a site plan; <br />23 - includes different lot types, including maintenance free. <br />24 <br />25 The cost of detached homes would be in the range of $300,000 to $450,000 and the <br />26 townhomes in the area of $250,000. <br />27 <br />28 Mayor Reinert noted that he still has concern about lot width and he wonders if lots sizes <br />29 could be adjusted. Mr. Packer responded by explaining how the development is planned <br />30 based on the market. <br />31 <br />32 Council Member Stoesz said he asked at the last review about the school district <br />33 boundaries. Has the developer researched the possibility of having those boundaries run <br />34 along natural borders? Mr. Packer said yes. <br />35 <br />36 Council Member Kusterman remarked that he understands the questions but knows, at the <br />37 end of the day, this company is in business to do it right and provide a development <br />38 where homes will sell. He has some continuing concern about how the noise on I35E <br />39 will impact the homes but he acknowledges that the development attempts to mitigate <br />40 that situation. <br />41 <br />42 Council Member Roeser noted that he likes the multigenerational concept, allowing for <br />43 different ages and stages in life. <br />44 <br />1 <br />
