Two preliminary housing concepts were reviewed: one with 95 age-restricted apartments, commercial space, and 22 townhomes, and another with 150 age-restricted apartments and commercial space. The proposals will be reconsidered after the applicant responds to concerns about ordinance compliance, traffic, open space, slopes, woodlands, and sewer capacity. Separately, a property owner must provide detailed documentation of trees removed and proposed replacement plantings before the commission considers the request.
