Written comments are included in the Attachments. As a <br />response to these comments, the City distributed a Neighborhood notice (attached), intended to <br />address those questions and comments. This notice was mailed (Dec 4th) to occupants of <br />properties adjacent to the project, and along Groveland Rd north of Mounds View Blvd, and to <br />those persons who submitted written comments, and those who asked to be notified of <br />upcoming meetings. <br />Analysis: <br />The developer submitted plans, with the most current, dated December 1, 2017.
