Mr. Joe Canpbell, Brooks Builde-rs, Inc. , preseifted the requ:tst stating that the
current' zoni.nq of the properitty was for a1uplexes b{ft Brooks Builders felt that: it
would be beneficial to the existing neighborhood to reduce the density of the
lots 1:-.uild more single family detac.hi-d product line. Over the last six
months they have had more demand for single family detached housing and while
ri--_�viewing their }.o1 inven-11-ory t-h-ey dec-i-ded to revise these lots Cr f Single
favtily detached housing. Brooks Builders has talked with residents of the area
a -1 -il t(> be in favor %.11
n, they see of this prop:)sal . He stated Hat this pr;:sposal

ueq in the area.

Co.,amission asked abouft the square footage of the houses, 41-.o which Mr.
Campbell stated the unit- sizes would range from 1,500 to 2,'_7010 squ�-Ire feet in
living area. He expla.ined that this size home was -in demand.. Some reSj.Q"en4[_-,s
have expressed a desire to havrz-! larger, newer homes but want. to stay iin t lie
vicinity.
Mr. Tysoi-.L e:n-pressed concern regarding the corner lots on Kynette, Drive where
1.5' building line is proposed instead of
25' !>uilaing .line. He stated t1haL
he was conc.�.,rnedl about the sight visibd.Lity at these corners and the corner loll--_s
could bbe cl_rt in a sqq;Uare with a 25' build—ing ii.ne and be in compliance with th-i-z-t
and inan;_e. He stated this change would enhance the property and th.e s-e.11-ing
value..
Mr. Canpbell explained that these were unusually deep Lots and they felt that-
the 15' I-Xii.l.ding _11..-n,-s would not obs-truct visibility to traffic and at thie same
time nrovidle the homeowner w-i 'Uh femcing up to the 15' froill the street. He
advi.sed that- these lots could be changed back -to the required 25' building line
and to also change the pads if that would be acceptable to il-he ccn--MPISSICM.
