Mr. Stephen Parker, Morrison Homes, 151 Southhall Lane, Suite 200, Maitland, Florida: advised the City Commission that "The type of community that our plan is developing there, at that location is what we consider a very upscale town home product. If you notice the product, which I don't know if every resident in attendance here today - they're all two (2) car garage townhomes, basically it is like a single family home, it is just attached. It is a much higher profile townhome; the price point is going to be much higher than - the competitor's that we sell our homes against every day. Your average sales price will probably be from $175,000.00 to $225,000.00, $230,000.00, and the concern we have is we are a builder in a lot of master planned communities - we realize the importance of your entryways, Parkstone entryways, the maintenance of the walls and surely we will sit down and enter into some type of sharing agreement because of the entryways there - we'll want to make sure that is beautified when we go through our sales process for our homeowners as well. We do have a planned amenity - on site, it's noted tonight as the cabana and swimming pool for our residents. We wanted to make it a gated community as well, private so - it's an upscale - we will you know, the 'Medium Density' that is brought on tonight, it says max is 108 units. We will not be able to probably achieve 108 units, I can't put the final number in there yet, but our preliminary plan shows us not approaching that 108 units." Mayor Bush said, "One thing for the citizens from Parkstone is as this progresses to Site Plan, you might want to have someone from your Homeowner's Association make sure they attend the Commission Meetings, as this - moves forward." Deputy Mayor Miller suggested, "If any of you are interested in what is going on, because it hasn't been turned over yet, doesn't mean you cannot appoint someone.
