Minutes of the Special Meeting of Council Monday, June 4, 2018 Page 12 ability to personalize our property somewhat. There's unifonnity. My husband's the gardener. We can add plants and whatever. There are differences between cluster homes and condominiums. This is a cluster home proposal. We are mostly attached. There are some free-standing homes. Because of this, the Village has separate fire priorities for us. We have an inspection every other year. Our alarm systems are set up to go directly to the fire departmerit. We do this through our security system. Our homeowner's association encompasses that as well. Because of that, we are required to have our homes inspected for fire alarm systems. We do it as per agreement with the Fire Department every other year. It's a safety feature. It makes me fe.el good because if you were told maybe 10 or 15 years ago that I would be in cluster housing rather than a single home, I would have said probably not but we love it. We try fo be good neighbors. We try to contribute. Again, there are 44 people living in our development. That includes two families. The rest of us are either couples or singles. Just to give you that information when you talk about numbers of people. Again, I have no idea what this development would yield and how that may come up. Our homes are from the smallest home which was the corner house that they built is about I think 1;700 square feet. The. larger ones are about 3,200-3;300 square feet so tliere's a range. Council President Saponaro stated, just so you know, the smallest has to be 1,$00. Ms. Fabrizio replied, then it's 1,800. Thank you. So we have a range of homes. That's was just for iiiformatiori sharing. ". Ms. Murphy asked, what is the average price? Ms. Lanese replied, the last three houses they built were $425,000 and $435,000. Ms. Fabrizio replied, those were the larger homes. The smaller ones sell for a little bit less. Again, I do think.that the prices of the houses are determined by the construction costs. If you are doing anything in your home right now with any construction, unfortunately new construction is very expensive. Council President Saponaro stated, I don't want to get cross-dialogue goirig ori. Does _ anyone else wailt to comment? Nicole McDonald 6543 Highlaild Road I know SOM Court. I know a lot of people living in SOM Court. I think the main difference between what we are looking at here on Highland versus SOM Couit is Highland Road is all residential. SOM Court is based off of SOM Center Road. There's businesses and residences all along SOM Cente.r Road. So vou are lookinc, at cluster ?
