~ foundation plantings for the houses themselves. Another commitment is that all the homes will have sod in the front yards up front fa~ade of the houses and the rest of the house will be seeded and mulched. Other items in the commitment are all concrete driveways, all garages be capable to store two cars, four foot sidewalks on all streets, thirty foot wide street within the subdivision, no above ground pool, community will have uniform mailboxes and there will be an amenity area which will include a playground. There was a drawing submitted which showed the playground equipment being proposed within the subdivision. They also submitted a landscaping plan where along Hadley Road there will be mounding with plantings, also there will be a split rail PVC fence, which look similar to what is in Grandview. Across the street Karrington Estates also has similar landscaping, they are trying to stay within that theme along the subdivision. There will be a two to three feet high undulating mound with evergreens, hardwood and oriental trees planted on the mound. There will be additional landscaping along the common areas, an island in the cul-de-sacs with landscaping, and plume grasses. They are proposing to follow the R-lD requirements as a minimum with the exception that the fIrst floor ground area will follow the requirements for R -1 C for the subdivision development. Mr. Banning turned the presentation over to Mr. Henderson of Arbor Homes. He stated that they had increased the requirement for brick up to 50 percent. He then asked the board if they had any questions. Commissioner Crouch asked if they are following the theme of Grandview on percent of houses as to certain sizes. Mr. Henderson stated that Grandview had a minimum of 1100 sq. ft. with a 20 percent minimum of houses in any section will be between 1.100 and 1,300 sq. ft. and a minimum of 20 percent will be greater than 1.650 sq. ft. They are starting theirs at 1,200 for single story instead of 1,100 and two stories will be 1600. They will be more than willing to do something in the way of percentages. Commissioner Williamson \tated that most of the houses will be facing with the backs to the road and to other houses and he would like to see more masonry for that area. Mr. Henderson stated that they had provided landscaping along Hadley Road as other projects along there had done and as far as the houses that back up to Grandview there is not any brick on the rear of any of those existing houses, so they are going to be very similar to that. Grandview had a lot of brick, but there is not any actual form of brick commitments with that zoning petition. They should not be very far off in similarity betw~9;~e tw~ projects as far as the front and rear brick are concerned. Commissioner Wi1liMni~~(e<1 that personally he would like to see more up scale homes and fewer homes in this area. He feels there is not a need for this development at this time. Commissioner McGuire asked if the siding would be vinyl and asked about the thickness of the vinyl. Mr. Henderson said the siding would be vinyl and that they would agree to use the upgrade vinyl of .045. Mr. McGuire said he had driven through a subdivision with vinyl siding; the siding was buckled and pulling away from the house. Mr. Henderson said the .045 siding would not buckle. Commissioner Pygman stated that the garage doors would take up a: large part of the front of the house, so where would the 50 percent brick come from. Mr. Henderson said there
