37.5 acres of 1400 square foot homes
34.5 acres of 1600 square foot homes
7.1 acre park site
14.2 acres of townhouse
11.9 acres of multi -family (18 units per acre)
7.2 acres of shopping center
Mr. Boyd stated that they are trying to keep the smaller homes
next to the Timberbend Addition due to the zoning of this subdivision.

and shopping center zoning on those tracts.

be submitted as a PD and the open space as it is related to a PD;
percentage of house sizes and lot sizes of the total proposed develop-
ment, the Commission was concerned that there was too high a percentage
of smaller homes; whether there should be a street backing up to an
alley; having an off-street on Exchange Parkway and possibly Malone
Road; having some of the open space located in the high density areas;
possibly having some more curvilinear streets and cul-de-sacs.
The Commission gave Mr. Boyd the percentages in which they would
like to see the land develop.
