David Hart (CPAC) an incentive for infill and redevelopment — a way to reduce those
fees. SB—that has not been considered at this point,
Crompton growth has not

Larry marriott - concerns over the inrease of the dedication but also the build ord implemented in

deterrs people from movinv here it helps retain the qulaity of life.

family density 2.8 persons per houselhold.
