Notable Quotes (3)
Staff are not supportive at this time of deviating from the vinyl requirement. That is a policy decision that the city planning commission or city council can make.
The vinyl siding is not appropriate at all. I mean, we're supposed to have quality development and people are going to be buying these units.
The major change probably is a 28 foot wide street through the center of the development... It is going to give a better look and feel for the development as a whole.
