have met to discuss the proposed project a number of times with the
most recent meetings held to discuss how the project would be addressing
their concerns in areas such as commercial uses, affordable housing,
utilities and traffic. It has been the intent of the project team
to ensure that all issues brought forth by the community are addressed
directly to the interested party with the opportunity for open discussion.
From both the government agency and community perspectives, the following
summarizes the issues brought forth through both public hearings and
meetings with individuals and groups:
Gated Communities
