PRD Meeting 11-25-02 Page 3 you a perspective of the units as you would view them while you're driving down the street. They're pretty much all ranches, garages facing the street. These units, per the sheet, there's an area there of almost 22 acres; 4 units per acre on this site with approximately 50% open space. Setbacks are listed right down below and along with the approximate unit sizes and the garages. The next photograph is just a side view of that same street that we just looked at in the prior photograph. These are duplex units. Each side sort of looks like that they appear to be a little more attractive from the side view than the front, but they do have a lot of architectural design to them and from what I understand they are selling them out pretty quick. Slide #3 was shown. Mr. Samac said the next photograph-this is a picture of one of the units right at the entranceway to the development-what I was just trying to show was between the unit that you see on the left and you see some distant buildings on the side that's actually in Solon across the south side of Miles Road, but if you look alittle--right down the middle there, there's a little bit of a water fountain that's one of their amenities that they use both for detention/retentionpucposes and, you know, as an aesthetic amenity to the development with that fountain going in there. He joked, I don't think that they've stocked it or have boat rentals there but I doubt it. Maybe a little fishing. It's private property; you need no license to fish. 4. Slide #4 was shown. Mr. Samac said the next photograph: these are units that we did not see on our tour. This is Sussex Court, located in Shaker Heights. It's on Chagrin Boulevard just a little west of Warrensville Center Road. These units are relatively new; they still have the sales office immediately across the street from, actually, where I'm standing taking this photograph from is another site where like units will be built. 5. Slide #5 was shown. Mr. Samac said the next photograph gives you a little better perspective ofthem-it's built in (sort of like) an oval shape where between the front and rear units, both of which face the same direction, there is a center courtyard in there. The units that front on Chagrin Boulevard have attached garages to the front along with a parking space out in front; the rear units have the parking accessible from the rear of their units along with extra parking. It's typical of what you see in that area as far as apartment buildings in Shaker Heights; that entire area is pretty much loaded up with various types of apartments. But it does have some nice architectural lines to it and, for what it's worth, I have no other information regarding density or setbacks on it. But just looking at it and judging the building wall, I'm guessing, is less-or at around 20' back from the sidewalk. The garage access areas are recessed probably giving them an area of 30' or so; there is adequate room to access your garage and plenty of room to have a car parked out in front of it, or two. 6. Slide #6 was shown. Mr. Samac said our next photograph, the photograph is of Shaker Glen, if you'd flip your page that we'd passed out, this is one of the units that we looked at on our tour; it's at the corner of Warrensville Center Road and South Woodland in Shaker Heights. It's a small development; it's 12 units; a relatively tight street. One of the things I did want to-and tried to show in this photograph-I did find a repair van, an appliance repair van or an HVAC guy, at one of the units and as tight as it is, you can still
