Lackman pointed out that there would be 11 acres of open space

age with 1.2 children. They would be coming from apartments and
would be firsthome buyers.

185 acres along Purgatory Creek north of County Road 4. Presentation
• and preliminary staff report.
Mrs. Schee told the Commission members than an abreviated presentation
of this proposal-had been made to the residents of Duck Lake area
on December 18 with no dissent. Both the Watershed and Park and
Recreation Commissions have reviewed the proposal.
Mr. Peter Jarvis showed slides of the site and expanded upon
information in their brochure. He indicated that they proposed
to build low density two product homes--single cluster which would
be built around the natural amenities and townhouses which would
fit into the slopes. There would be 383 cluster single family
homesi 10"-or 11 large lot single family-homes and 98 -townhouses.
60 to 65 acres would be devoted to open space with trails. The
Purgatory Creek Valley and storm water holding areas would be
Village dedicated. There mould be a service center area but not
in the early phases of the development. A slight relocation of
Duch Lake Trail is anticipated; pedistrian under passes and paths
would allow residents to walk through the entire site.
The distribution between the forms of homes was based on market
analysis and price range and on site and terrain features. Subsidy
housing is not included in the proposal but if a subsidy program
is available without necessitating architectual change, it would
• be considered by the developer.
