Committee Member Thoms asked for an explanation of the retention basin as it appeared to be fenced off. Why entry gates. Mr. Gregory stated it was an effort to reuse the existing "historical gates". They would be relocated to the path entry. Staff clarified this was a request of the HPC to use the gates as it was believed they were historical. Since that time it has been determined they are not historical. 3. Committee Member Thoms questioned the south entry road. Staff clarified that it is not proposed to be the main access road.

Committee Member Thoms stated he did not see them on the plans. Mr. Gregory stated they propose a palm on the typical front yard plan. The palms would be dispersed throughout the project. They could be used in the retention basin, but the desire is to have trees of different heights. Committee Member Thoms asked if there was a site plan showing the location of the houses. Staff stated they do not have one as of yet. Committee Member Thoms asked that there be some front yard variations with setbacks especially along the south roadway. Mr. Vuksic explained how the houses would be situated on the lots and where they would have the opportunity to do variations.
