Kent <br /> 7 Massie with Massie & Massie Landscape Architects for <br /> 8 this project . Later, I will ask Mr. Massie to <br /> 9 address some landscape items .

My involvement has been since October. <br /> 16 There have been many public hearings and many <br /> 17 meetings held with opportunities for discussion. <br /> 18 There has been significant time spent in planning. <br /> 19 The development of this site has probably received <br /> 20 more planning time and pre-engineering time, prior <br /> 21 to a final development plan, than any project I have <br /> 22 been involved in, in the City of Decatur. I think <br /> 23 that ' s a -- it is a result of knowing the great <br /> 24 sensitivity to the surrounding neighborhood. As <br /> 13 <br />
