Horow/ Moved By Pigott, seconded by Kubby. Discussion.
Kubby/ I do want to make a few comments especially because the vote
on the specifications came after Green View and there was a
lot of discussion about the issue of concentration. That this
is just one of the many steps of planning for this and this
has been going on for more than a year and so I donSt find
this at all an uncomfortable position to be in to vote for us
building 33 s.f. units. Twenty of them are in the Tenant Owner
Program, right? That they will eventually end up being owned
by the tenants that live in them. I know there is something
else I want to say. Oh, and I am really glad that some of them
may have some passive solar design built into them and I am
glad that we could orient them on the land and figure out a
way to come in at the budget for the square footage with all
the HUD requirements and still do the solar gain thing. So I
appreciate our architect spending lots of time designing this.
Thank you.
Horow/ Thank you. Any other discussion? Roll call- (yes).
Resolution is adopted.
