alleyways approximately 25.5 feet wide. All common areas are to be owned and maintained by the

extensions needed. Storm services and detention will be provided via existing facilities constructed in
previous phases. There is a landscape buffer of 25 feet in the rear of the lots for division between the
townhomes garages and alley ways and the single family residential.

remaining staff comments and review of all legal documents by the City Attorney.
