In answering questions regarding the preliminary site plans for the 25 unit development he proposed to construct, Mr. Johnson said he believes these plans can be refined to conform to the square footage formula set for the PUD. at the same time adequate parking, snow and refuse storage and an aesthetic appearance is provided. The developer mentioned that the proposed project will be similar in design to the St. Anthony Town Homes on Foss Road. The Council was pleased to learn that as many trees on the site as possible will be saved and it was suggested that, from the City' s viewpoint , it might be more satisfactory to. .leave the responsibility for refuse disposal up to the individual townhome owners rather than to a homeowners association. They accepted Mr. Johnson' s construction timetable to erect twelve units on the south half of the parcel first and to continue in a northerly direction as these are sold.
