The images used on the <br />promotional images and the documents provided to the Advisory Boards and City Council have <br />been used without consent. Discussed the inclusivity of the project. <br />Brian Robinson, 310 Main Street, does not understand the timeline of the City Council's visit to <br />the Del Webb project in February. There was no mention of water issues at that point. Has the <br />city received other applications yet? He stated that the Love Li noLa kes.com group is filled with <br />lies and hate. <br />Bridget Robinson, 5031 226th Avenue NE., stated at a prior City Council meeting that comments <br />were made that the developer Faraaz Yussuf and his CAIR activists have insulted the residents <br />of Lino Lakes by their labels. The Love the Lino Lakes group has insulted the Muslim group. <br />Previous developers have not received this type of treatment. Robinson read a few comments <br />she found on social media. <br />Janed Mohammad, 4631 131stAve., claimed there is a great deal of misinformation about the <br />Madinah project. Discussed why the prior developments did not happen. Upon meeting a <br />person who was against the project, he discovered two things. The man declared that no one <br />else could live in this development and that the project would fail. Asked Council and residents <br />to have an open mind. <br />H <br />
