setback deviations. In response to Agency Member Evans,
Mr. Nowak stated the 40 foot street requirement resulted
in a need for smaller setbacks.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Ms. Flock stated the cost
for the homeowners association was included in the
housing cost. Ms. Flock stated they would prefer to not
have a homeowners association but the streets would not
meet the public street standards so they would have to be
private streets. She stated the streets would meet the
Fire Department requirements but there would be parking
restrictions.
Ms. Flock stated they were willing to have all 15
affordable units remain affordable for the life of the
plan.
Agency Member Evans indicated he was concerned with the
