Opportunity for anybody here [1:45] to address council for up to three [1:48] minutes. [1:49] Come up. State your name and address for [1:51] the record. Good evening, Mr. Ericson. [1:54] How are you? [1:55] Good evening, mayor, members of the city [1:57] council. I'm Bob Ericson, 19081 Indale [2:01] Drive. Recently, I received several [2:03] calls from residents who participated in [2:05] the original public hearing for the uh [2:09] Ritter Meadows development, specifically [2:11] the Meadow Ritter Meadows town homes. [2:15] And at the original public hearing at [2:18] the planning commission, the 127 [2:21] attached town homes were represented for [2:23] sale. And that's what how the project [2:26] was uh ultimately approved. Uh now Twin [2:30] Cities Land Development, also known as [2:32] Tradition Development, has given [2:33] approval for 135 rental town homes.

Um, recently [3:57] the adjoining property west of Ritter [3:59] Meadows was purchased by a national home [4:00] builder and their proposed plan included [4:03] single family and town home units for [4:06] sale. The question is, the rhetorical [4:09] question is, will the newly established [4:10] rental town homes um [4:14] modify those plans? And I'm also [4:18] concerned that the uh new town homes [4:20] aren't following the plan that was [4:22] approved, which would have not…
