Zoned R-4, Residential in the Rivanna Magisterial District. Mr. Fritz presented the staff report. Staff recommended approval subject to conditions. Mr. Frank Kessler was present to represent the applicant. He offered little additional comment. The Chairman invited public comment. Mr. Frank Jones, an adjacent property owner, addressed the Commission. He objected to the reduction in lot size. He also explained that though the developer had promised a 10-foot buffer would be maintained adjacent to his property, "at the present time he has already bulldozed my land." He stated Mr. Kessler had indicated the situation would be corrected, but it has not been. The Chairman allowed Mr. Kessler to respond to Mr. Jones' comments. He explained that approximately 7 trees had been removed from Mr. Jones' property accidentally and he had met with Mr. Jones and assured him that the trees would be restored when the site plan for the townhouses is done. There being no further public comment, the matter was placed before the Commission. In response to Mr. Bowerman's question, Mr. Fritz confirmed that though the lot size is being reduced, more green space is being added. He added that only 30 to 40 lots were actually being reduced. - July 11, 1989 Page 5 Mr. Stark moved that the Forest Lakes Phase 1, Blocks E, F, G and H Final Subdivision Plat be approved subject to the following conditions: 1.
