He specified that the Century Farm North development includes a very large park area as well as unique stormwater areas, and that overall the prope rty is less than three units per acre.

Mr. Uhde was approached by Sharper Homes a number of years ago t o discuss potential revisions, but Mr. Uhde thought it was premature to propose change s at that time. He was approached by Sharper again about six months ago and they brou ght the concerns to the city. The city was receptive to the requested changes. He st ated that questions and concerns regarding the homeowner association had been addres sed. As the developer, Mr. Uhde is hoping that the single family homes will sell bette r than the townhomes did.
