They agreed that it was an improvement over the previous plan for 70 units. the Planning Commission had the following comments and recommended revision to the Conditions of Approval after discussing the plans: ■ The Commission thought that the four-plex the end of Road C consisting of the affordable units did not fit in architecturally with the other units in the project. They recommended that it be divided into two duplex units. The commission felt that the two center units of the four- plex would not receive adequate light and air. Splitting it into two duplexes would result in a more attractive living space. ■ They felt the radius in the curve in Road C was too severe and that it should be revised to create a more gradual turn.
