Q. Are there 36 units in each of the 8 buildings?
R. No, total of 36 units.
Q. How long before construction begins?
R. Not sure, but it depends on the amount of time before permits are issued.
Jill Ding: The preplat usually takes 12 weeks but the city has said they will also review the civil permit
concurrently and complete review could take 3 months.
Q. Will there be any trees along the east property line?

R. I believe the current plan is vault access (grasscrete) and landscaping.
