Acreage rises from 89.29 to 91.62 and open space falls from 10.01 to 9.17 acres. Density rises from 375 to 388 dwellings (4.20 to 4.23 units per acre): single-family units drop from 220 to 218 and townhomes rise from 155 to 170, against a Village 2 maximum of 743 units. The Planning Commission recommended approval with conditions. Work session concerns were park timing and front-loading density. The council approved on condition of a master development agreement amendment requiring a medium park or Club Ivory at the 400th platted dwelling, which the applicant may build instead of the 3,000 square foot pool and 1,200 square foot clubhouse, plus redlines and the original approval terms.

The amendment moves the park trigger to the 400th dwelling and eliminates a second sewer line, and the applicant plans to widen the road in front of the elementary school. The council approved it, changing Section 11.4.4 so a medium park or Club Ivory is built and dedicated before recording the 400th dwelling unit in Village 2.
