This proposal is focused on a neighborhood with limited ingress and egress. Because of this, all property owners will be impacted regardless of their immediate proximity to the actual project.
My concern is that we if we do it on perimeter, our coverages are going to be different depending on the side of lot... whereas if you use an area, you're going to have more uniform coverage.
