hearing and asked for public comments.
In Favor Andrew McIntyre, representing McIntyre Companies, addressed
the three major concerns of the area residents; 1) traffic, 2) density,
3) privacy and the measures taken to mitigate.

requests lowering various development standards would set a
precedence.

second -story setback of 10 feel instead of 20 feet; ground coverage
of 64 percent instead of 55 percent; a minimum dimension in one
recreation -leisure open space area of 11 feet instead of 50 feet; and
8 feet of building separation where 14 feet is required.

take any action.
