ACP Gal stated that a PUD is required for this project because the properties are located in the Downtown and exceed 75 feet of frontage. ACP Gal introduced Rich Barnes, architect, for the project. Rich Barnes summarized the neighborhood meeting that was held last week. Approximately 8 people attended and asked questions about the construction timeline and stormwater management.

Preliminary elevations and site plan for the project were presented. The Committee discussed the parking spaces proposed in front of the townhomes and agreed that they would be beneficial for short-term parking such as for deliveries, ride share, and landscaping trucks.
