The proposed development included a 4-acre detention pond/water <br />feature surrounded by jogging trails, and play areas. <br /> <br />The Commission recommended denial of the application based upon issues <br />including excessive density of 418 units, lack of information concerning the <br />Preserve, financing and outstanding Army Corps of Engineer <br />documentation.
