with the wants of the public and directions of the Commission to staff. Mr. Brackett requested the <br />Board to allow building of two-story homes in the northeast corner that would be spaced out <br />between one-story homes on the 55 -foot lots. He had previously acquiesced to the P&Z's <br />preference but asked if he could modify it to limiting two-story homes in that section to no more <br />than 20% of the lots and any two-story homes would have to be separated by not less than three <br />one-story homes.
