The project also includes a Tentative Subdivision Map/Condominium Permit, a Major Plot Plan, and Design Review permit to construct 70 townhomes and associated recreational areas, including a tot-lot children 's park, play lawn, seating area, and private community pool. The project would include seven buildings totaling 126,582 square feet and the townhomes would be broken into the following four plans: 1. Plan 1 would consist of fifteen 1,110-square-foot town homes consisting of two bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms. 2.

Plan 4 would consist of twenty-two 1,576-square-foot townhomes consisting of three bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms. The townhomes would reach a maximum height of 35 feet and 9 inches. In addition, the project would include 51,496 square feet of open space (2,447 square feet for private patios, 1,810 square feet for private decks, 7,028 square feet for recreational areas, and 40,211 square feet for common areas).
