In this process the DNR agreed to allow community zoning flexibility separate from state regulations. The first phase complied with state standards in density. The second phase complies with the rules the City adopted and which were approved by the DNR. Streets and utilities are available to these additional units. Ms. Dahl asked if the developer has pictures or a model of the project. Mr. Hokanson stated that the new units will be the same as those built in the first phase and will be in the same price range of $85,000 to $100,000.
