Commissioner Antonini stated that the plena as submitted were very poor, no definite elevations are shown, roof lines, etc., defined. Commissioner Garrigan inquired about optional items such ae fireplaces, dishwashers, built-in stoves, etc. Mr. Frost replied that they are not that far along in their plane. Mr. Frost also could not come up with any fixed prices of the homes. However, he stated that their aim is to serve the market not now reached by the present market. He cited ae an example that their present loveat priced home is $22,450, and which has gone up $1,500 in the last six months.

Commissioner Antonini inquired ae to the coat per square foot of these lots, but received no answer. Chairman Plato inquired about the difference in the zoning of single-family or duplex units developed. He remarked thg the schools are spread so thin as it is that it will mean providing another school site south of Black Avenue.
