Ms. Shull replied the plat does not meet the open space requirements; instead the applicant chose
the option of paying a fee-in-lieu as permitted by City code. Regarding the HOA, Mr. Lymberis
answered the fees will be pro-rated with Quadrant paying the share for vacant properties. Quadrant
will continue its contributions to the HOA until the development is fully sold, the HOA has momentum,
and is solvent.
