The plans call for three buildings, one five-unit building and two two-unit buildings. Each unit is provided a double-car garage, a private backyard and common spaces both at grade level and on the rooftop. Road access will be off of Kneller Road and through a main driveway that divides the buildings.

ѻýCoun. (Charlie) Hodge isnѻýt here today, so I wanted to channel his thinking,ѻý Coun. Luke Stack said. ѻýѻýBoy, itѻýs nice to see some green backyards in these nice little townhouses.ѻýѻý

ѻýIn a townhouse, often itѻýs common area and to have a private little space is really unique,ѻý Stack said. ѻýIѻým sure the people who will be moving into them will be very excited.ѻý
