Background/Discussion The applicants have submitted a concept plan for a new subdivision south of the Miske Meadows neighborhood. Plans show 537 residential units distributed between a variety of housing types. Single-family homesites range between 45-feet and 65-feet wide, and the area closest to Cleveland/County Road 40 has row townhomes and back-to-back townhomes in a variety of configurations.
