It was decided that the Board would discuss the square footage of the homes Hodierne stated thati it seemed that one of the main concerns that the Board had with lot/home sizes was compatibility with existing neighborhoods. She said that it could be dangerous to think about the homes in terms of whole price and final numbers and how that may compare with areas like Cedarwood. She added that it may be more useful to consider the homes in Castleton Village int terms of price per square foot. Hodierne said this would allow for everyone to take into consideration that there and lot sizes. 3 1 DRAPT were buyers int the market that were looking for different things.

Sholl stated that the Town may have to provide garbage totersi ift the development were annexed because ofa an increase in demand for trash collection. He was worried that Blackman said that there were potential design solutions that could be used to address the concern about the garbage toters.

She noted that it would increase traffic and that any sort of use that would involve sirens would be detrimental to the neighborhoods that already exist surrounding it.
