Development Company, in a 400'- acre tract located north of

Creek."
Mr. Don Bass, of Bass Development Company, showed the Commis-
sion a concept plan of the 4003 acre proposed development.
There was some discussion on percentages of sizes of single
family dwellings in the proposed development and the difference
between garden or patio homes and townhomes and 2F homes.
Some questions asked by the Commission included why the whole
4003 acres did not come to them as a PD; the amount of open space
within the development; and the length of some of the streets.
Some concerns expressed by the Commission included the imbalance
of R-5 homes in relation to R-2 or R-3 homes; the number of garden
homes and townhouses; and the shopping center being located across
the street from the elementary school.
Mr. Bass told the Commission that if the development started
that it would begin with several different types of housing products
and that the proposed development would take approximately 5 to 7
years to complete. He stated that he is trying to provide a variety
of housing and commercial products in this proposed development.

Workshop Session on a Proposed
Development of 400± Acre Tract
by Don Bass (Cont.)
The Commission discussed whether the patio homes should be
included in the total percentage of single family dwellings when
comparing this development to the Comprehensive Plan. They also
discussed the housing mix in relation to what they would consider
a good ratio for development; possibly making the 2-F zoning districts
into TH to encourage single ownership; whether more than 200 homes
of a given type is too much in a zoning district; providing some open
space in the higher density areas, i.e., in the multi -family and
2-F districts; and what should be included in the Planned Development.
The Commission felt that there is too much single family that
is below 1,400 square feet and asked Mr. Bass to work on the housing
mix, the 2-F areas, and possibly switch the office and shopping
center areas.
There was no action taken on this item.
