Board Member Curtis, asked where the mailboxes would be located. Mr. Schnider said they would likely have cluster mailboxes in the center drive aisle. Board Member Curtis also asked about where lighting for the bathrooms came from for the interior units. He also questioned the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) unit and if it had the appropriate space and how the flow of trash collection would work.
