A smaller unit may be about $115,000-$130,000. Gunderman asked how many levels. Olson responded a basement and. two levels. Elevation is very high and the view is good. Tried to get as many units facing south as possible. Olson said it is intended to have a PDQ or Stop & Shop building on the southeast corner of development.. Olson said the Planning Commission is recommending a B-3 zoning. If that does not happen then a food store is not possible. .Seward said he is concerned with the traffic problem and with what will happen to the houses on County Road E now. Olson said they have met with the people from the Hwy. Dept. and asked for information on the traffic flow. It is 1,700 cars per day now and would be increased to 2,400. Total density is 2.37. The density is cut down because of the townhouses and the commercial. Gunderman asked why they wanted a shopping center when there are others in the area.
