Mr. Young stated that the TND has been reduced from 69% to 53% with the conventional housing going from 31% to 47%. The alley ways have been reduced and no drives along the boulevards by the school and large recreational areas. A center park with a clubhouse is planned.

Kimball Hill asked that the Board give their approval to this concept so that they can move forward with preliminary engineering etc and continue to work with the Board in more details. Until the overall concept is approved, Kimball Hills cannot move forward with more in depth studies. The Plan Commission and the Plan Council will be afforded the opportunity to review the preliminaries. Kimball Hill Homes stated that what they are looking for is a general thumbs up to the overall concept and not looking for approval of any details at this time. The details will be discussed and worked out in the preliminary plat and plans discussions.
