would include a total of 195 single family homes on 98.2 acres, 234 townhomes on 43.6 acres, and 225,000 square feet of
commercial development on 46.1 acres. A review meeting was held on May 19, 1999, to consider the application and a
public hearing had been conducted by the Planning Commission on May 26, 1999, where the issue was tabled to allow time

to prevent a conflict of interest, he would offer comment but abstain from voting on the proposed PUD.

Commission and public.
The Planning Commission and developers discussed issues involving drainage, road widths and right-of-ways, collector
