Note: Variances may be required pending Planning Commission's ruling. Note: Planning Commission reviewed this proposal on 9/10/02 and referred the proposal to the Architectural Review Board on 9/24/02. This proposal is to return to the Planning Commission. Mr. Zergott asked the representatives for the Rockwynd subdivision to make their presentation. Mr. Leonard Corsi, Amy Corsi, and Tim Blair were present on behalf of Greystone Realty. Mr. Mark Stockman, of Stockman Architects was also present. Mr. Corsi explained the subdivision is a single- family cluster design that will utilize open spaces. They have designed the community more toward a neo-traditional neighborhood with front porches and private courtyard areas. Mr. Zergott asked where the courtyards will be located. Mr. Corsi replied they are near the rear-loaded garages. He referred to the drawing labeled AD2. He said in between the garage and the great room is a little courtyard area. Through that courtyard area you can exit to the alley itself. Mr. Zergott asked how it would all flow on the plans. They reviewed the site plan. Mr. Corsi indicated the plan is just a footprint and it does not show the courtyards. He pointed out the front of the homes and the porches. He mentioned the porches are all large and are designed to give residents an outdoor living space. In the rear of the home in between the garage and the house will be a courtyard. It is equivalent to the size of a room. Mr. Zergott asked for the actual size. Mr. Stockman indicated they are approximately 12x16. Mr. Zergott asked if they will be fenced off. Mr. Corsi said the way some of them are situated they really won't require a fence because of the location of the garage. There will be an opportunity, depending upon how they set up the homes, if they have both courtyards opened up, they would want to put up a fence. It could be board on board but he envisions something like a trellis type fence with vines, which is less harsh. Mr. Yager asked if that
