Concerns: The Committee had no specific concerns about the
revised two-story design concept. However, they did suggest that
the Planning Commission investigate alternatives for attaching
the two structures by reversing one of the floor -plans. This
approach would allow for larger yard areas and might help reduce
privacy intrusion impacts.
