Mr. Conway advised that he has not seen the detailed Uuildiug plans as yet, but the developer has indicated tliat he will comply to the codes. He explained to IVIi-. Bi-emlau that if two abuttiug properties are beiug co-developed, the code perinits building right up .to tlie property line as loiig as there is a fire wall complete with parapet between thein. Mi-.

Mr. Conway noted that the appearance has not changed at all, it will appear as one building. Mr. Dubellco explaiued that the code specifies that a buildiug either has to be right ou the property line or 10 feet away, it camiot just Ue 3 or 4 feet off tlie line.
