Commissioner Hoifeldt questioned if this development was owned by the same
developer at the Clive project which is of a similar nature. Mr. Kass advised that was
correct, this is also an Epcon Project.
Commissioner Koshy questioned what the target audience and price point was. Mr.
Kass advised that the website for the development identified active seniors as the
target audience with starting base price points of $300,000 dollars.
Commissioner Streit questioned if this was the first portion of this development. Mr.
Kass advised that was correct. It is dependent on completion of the City project to
extend Douglas. The developer is pushing to have a model unit built as the Clive
project is nearing capacity.
Commissioner Koshy questioned if the intent would be to go through the phases of
this development rapidly. Mr. Kass advised that it depends on how well the first phase
does, but that staff anticipates a second phase by the end of the year.
Commissioner Hoifeldt moved to approve the final plat for Courtyard at Parkside, subject to
any remaining staff comments. Commissioner Streit seconded the motion. Ayes: Streit,
Broderick, Hoifeldt, and Koshy. Nays: none. Motion carried.
