Consultants (CEC)presented the Site Plan for Williams Pointe Townhomes II on behalf of Regency
Homes.The site plan completes the Williams Pointe Townhomes proposal,with all units surrounding

Wittman explained that the townhomes would have all siding,but that the different angles and gables
would add visual interest.Chairman Steele asked about street parking around the townhomes.John
