Case No. P 01-14, Trott Brook South Ms. McPherson presented the revised plat of Trott Brook South under the newly adopted R-3 townhome standards which require open space in townhome developments matching approximately 5% of the net buildable area.

The Commission could request 4.1 acres of park land or accept cash dedication of $219,030.00, which is calculated at the current rate.
