Prosperity Farms Road and Allamanda Drive, adjacent to Prosperity Harbor, for security purposes.
Mr. Green stated the approved master development plan for the PUD depicts a six -foot
decorative fence with landscaping material at approximately three feet in height in the area of
the subdivision adjacent to Prosperity Harbor. Mr. Green explained the purpose of limiting the
height of the landscaping had been to preserve the view of Prosperity Harbor.

limit was applicable. Village Planner Jodi Nentwick will review the original site plan to verify
any height limitation specified for the remainder of the hedge.
