and the average lot is 6,100
Mr Myott asked what the average size of the zero and single family detached homes
would be
Mr Rosenstock asked what the square footage of the homes would be, Mr Bryan
could not answer that because there are multiple models that will be offered with
varying square feet. Mr Bryan stated that for the smaller lots, the average home would
be 1,800 to 2,000 square feet under air Mr Rosenstock asked how many square feet

the balance of the lots will vary, which could be as large as 7,000 square feet.

Mr Myott inquired if there would be more townhouses than meet the demands and Mr

Mr Bryan noted that the PUD in 1983 included at that time an additional 128 multi-
family units and when the PUD was modified several years ago for rentals, the 128 units

another mobile home park and rental community to the south, There are quadraplexes

rental property Mr Bryan stated that would not happen, since no one rents town homes
as they are very expensive from a construction point of view, as opposed to rental
property

price would range from approximately the high $90,000'5 to $120,000 The single-

them two options One option included an improved project, plus some cash to the
Association and enhanced landscaping, but included an opening on Shore Drive Mr

satisfy a majority of the residents,

to match one of the grant funds to improve landscaping.
