proposal; he is happy to see that a single-family
development is being proposed; he believes the park land is
inadequate for the site; he would be happier with the plan
if the density were more in line with the existing
Westchester development; he is not particularly happy with
the layout of the subdivision.
Trustee Reid stated that he believes that perhaps variances
should be looked at on a lot-by-lot basis, rather than a
blanket variation.

residents of this area are in need of active park space.
Trustee Glover questioned the maintenance of the lakes; Mr.
Green responded that they would propose that the lakes would
be conveyed. Trustee Glover suggested that the lots could
be made large enough so rear yard variations would not be
necessary; he is comfortable with the zoning, but he thinks
there could be a layout which would meet the R-4 zoning and
also meet the rear yard setbacks.
