    the communit to meet the aesthetic desires of the pro*ect. 5o par7ing is being proposed for this street. The street which is planned in the 4) area is onl providing vehicular access to nine 0@

    The )pplicant has stated that the inclusion of an urban cottage on a lot will be presented to the

    responsibilit of the developer and Communit Development staff" at time of building permit" to
