He maintained that the current quality would be met or even enhanced. Murphy noted that stateiiKnts brought to his attention caused him concern and asked whether Zachman proposed significant changes. Zachman stated that he must honor and adhere to the developer’s agreement, but plans to add more stone to the facade, and make some minor revisions to the interiors. Johnston pointed out that the price of the units has justified the upgrades.
