She indicated this would provide a new type 36 <br />of housing for residents of Mounds View. She stated her second choice would be Centra which 37 <br />was another townhome development. She believed the City could use more townhomes. 38 <br /> 39 <br />Vice President Cermak explained her first choice would be the Pulte development because this 40 <br />development would provide smaller units with no stairs. She reported she was not a fan of 41 <br />townhomes. 42 <br /> 43 <br />Commissioner Meehlhause stated all four developers provided a high quality option for the City. 44
