It was noted that there is a minimum 90 foot <br />structure separation between the proposed homes in Gateway and those in the <br />Hillsborough West Subdivision located along Willow and Kennedy. <br />Several Tracts (A, C, E and F), which will be maintained by an HOA, total 4.3 acres and <br />? <br /> <br />represent a conveyance of 36% of the gross land area. The existing bike path will remain <br />in place. <br />The application materials included a letter from the current property owner that reflects <br />? <br /> <br />the intent of the property owner to convey to the City Lots 1 and 2 of the Subdivision (4.8 <br />acres on the west side of McCaslin Blvd.) upon successful completion of the applicant’s <br />request.
