Each unit would have 1.300 square feet of floor space with three or four bedrooms and would be two storeys high. Tentative plans are to provide underground parking under a central play area with access directly into the basement of the homes. Two blocks of {our houses would face Cedar Av- enue and behind them would be two 12-unit buildings. An alternative for parking would be to open up Elmwood Avenue to create a parking area between the buildings and the railway. This would also allow access to the central court for fireâ€"fighting equip- ment. Chairman Hancey said at the OMB hearing on proposed re- development for that area a year and a half ago. it was her understanidjng that if the density of population was reâ€" duced. the OMB would waive any further hearing. The orig- inal application was for an apartment building and the townhouses represent a consid- erable reduction in population density. 32 Townhouses In Condominium lllllllllI“lIllllllIlllllI“IlllIl!IlllllllllllllnllllllllulIllllllmlllllllllllul At present the land is zoned industrial and a rezoning would be required.
