Greg Stringer, applicant, stated this request is similar to another one that was granted last year. Mr. Stringer said this was pretty “cookie-cutter” for the R-8 zoning district, as he would meet all setback requirements. Board member Gordon-Evans asked if the homes would be consistent with the existing subdivision he did. Mr. Stringer said yes. He also mentioned his future plans to develop the back half of the three existing homes he has done to create more homes on Argo Drive.
