This type of planning provides a lot of privacy to the home dweller. Mr. yer feels that more usable space is generated in a type of plan arch as this. 'As far ae the subdivision map is concerned, the engineers for the applicant did a lot of research work. One criteria of the plan is the relation- ship of the rear property Linea.
