cil re: (Preston Courts, Parcel M -18) Amendment to Preston
Courts PUD, Parcel M -18, within the PGA National PCD to reduce

project and stated the petitioner, Mr. Robert Frein, is proposing
to reduce the number of originally approved units from 34 to 30,
thus reducing the overall density from 7.10 to 6.26 u /p /a.
Mr. Ellington pointed out the locations of the existing duplex
units; approved duplex units the petitioner is committed to
build; and the proposed twelve, 1 & 2 story, zero - lot -line single
family homes. Marketing changes prompted the elimination of the
duplex units, which will be replaced with single family homes.

in those areas.

mounted on the entry wall.

the project with the following three conditions:
1. An architectural wall shall be built starting behind the
existing landscape near the southeast corner, next to Ryder
Cup Blvd., to the southwest corner of said property, para-
llel to Northlake Blvd. The petitioner must indicate this
addition on the site plan and provide a time specification
for when construction will commence.

• 2A and 2B from 30' to 33' respectively, in order to avoid

Forester, recommended a 6' wall be constructed along the southern
border of the property. Mr. Frein advised that he has no objec-
tion, and PGA National has agreed to pay one -half of the cost

believe the proposed site plan will create a canyon effect.
