Mr. Kyle Johnson, 102 Lyndhurst Drive, expressed concern of a fence between the alley and property adjacent and trees requirement. Staff responded that the ordinance requires two trees in the front yard. If a property owner desires a fence, it is allowed, but not required. The Commission can make a requirement within the planned development to require a six foot board on board fence. Mr. Sam Mayfield, 113 N WA Allen Boulevard, stated that the proposed plan was the best one, expressed concern of the side setbacks, does the exterior material match the neighborhood and parking on the street. Staff responded that the side yard setbacks are at five feet due to narrow lots.

The homes would look similar to the existing neighborhood. Vice Chair Rogers closed the Public Hearing on Item 2 at 6: 21PM. Commission Discussion Commissioner Newsom stated that the proposed development is most conducive to the ordinance and existing surrounding developments, and expressed opposition to requiring the development to build a fence in the backyard on each lot.
