prior to the Ordinance being written. Mr. Marwick suggested putting more affordable housing in
the Deerbrook development as it is a better location for affordable housing in the Village. He
does not believe putting the townhomes near the shopping center is a good plan. Mr. Marwick
believes it would be more advantageous to build a taller and denser development without the
townhomes. He suggested making the development as pedestrian friendly as possible.
There were no Reports.
