In addition to these responses we have also made several other changes which were in response to the comments received at the Januaru 18th Homeowners' meeting and those reflecting our agreement with the property owner to the south. With regard to the comments From the neighborhood, we have lowered the overall height of the building with a greater height reduction at the south and southeast corner. In addition, we have provided a complete set of elevations For Phase I which shows additional screening For the loading area for this phase. We are also showing Sneed Drive complete to the current location eF Fossil Creek Drive. This solution should answer several other questions which were brought up bg the Homeowners. One, the property will be using Fossil Creek as an access which is prescribed by the College Avenue access plan. This intersection will be controlled by a stop sign and we will be relocating or replacing any signiFicant landscaping which is currently located in the median where the cut is required. By having the street complete we will be able to contain the drainage within the street curbs up to Fossil Creek where it will be contained in an underground culvert.
