Paraphrasing of 50 RR stipulations:

***MEETING TONIGHT @ 7:30 PM***
From what we understand from the meeting in November, some of the below figures are possible construction elements depending on the actual building plans (which have not been submitted). The plans submitted apparently reflect the largest build out potential, and therefore the largest impact.
That being said, there will be an impact if four new homes are built where there once stood none.
Please attend the meeting to voice your concerns and ask questions of the builder.
