James Kincaid. Developer's Engineer,
commented cn the decislon to remove the
covered parking stalls, sharing that they
are not as desirable to potential tenants
and are increasing the development cost-
Mr Simonquestioned square footagge
of the units, pricing, and how it was de-
termined that tenants would not want the
covered spaces.
James Kincaid commented that he would
not want to misrepresent the developer's
Intent but could reach out and get answers
to those questions.
Mr.Simon commented that Just down the

decision was based on cost savings it the

do not have kids who are looking for a
small,more affordable apartment.
