Mr. Hirst indicated he is confident it will take less than six months. Commissioner Wilson asked if this project would be exempt from RAP. Mr. Harris stated that City Council has to make that decision. Commissioner Wilson asked at what point in time, if considered by the City Council as affordable housing, the project would have to be reviewed by the Park and Recreation Commission. Mr. Harris stated it is not reviewed by the Park and Recreation Commission unless there is a park in the project and there is no park in this case. Commissioner Doherty stated that .the Park and Recreation Commission has concern with 'in lieu of fees vs. park land in the project and he feels that some fes in addition to the park land should be paid.

Commissioner Wilson expressed concern with not having wider streets with parking if in fact it is going to be affordable housing. He said the recreation area is too small and doesn't agree with Mr. Parrish con- cerning the cost. He said he has no problem with rolled curbs but that before approving any projects he wishes to find out the City Council's intentions. Commissioner Doherty said that this is a quality project and he has no doubt that it is affordable. He said the interiors are beautiful and the units have large patios. He said he is concerned with the width of the streets. He said as far as parking is concerned the development proposes two car garages which would mean two cars could park in the garages and two could park in the driveways. He said the homeowners -12-
