Somehow I missed that brief mention in your otherwise comprehensive report.

Was there any discussion about how they will get staff to provide public hearing notices to non-city residents within the notice area for other projects? This was a problem with both the Maple Cove and the Grove projects. Some of the closest neighbors to each project were not notified because they live in the township.

That public hearing will be part of their May 1st meeting. This week, notices should have been sent to property owners within 500 feet of the property, including those in the township.

The Maple Cove site is adjacent to township properties. The owners and occupants of the township properties did not receive notice for the first public hearing.

Neighbors of the project remain concerned about how this project fits the area. They are concerned with density and size of this project in a neighborhood that otherwise has small houses with big lots. They are worried about the impact of this project on storm water drainage. The project appears to place tall buildings within five feet of property lines. The number of units planned will likely cause increased traffic.

I had the impression that it was a citywide pool but would be interested to know if geographical area is taken into account.
