Comments I ahve attended a number of recent meetings, and I am
surprised that the maps that the Mohrs' team shares are nearly

trust in the process, and alleviate the stress that so many of my
neighbors, and myself, are feeling. Thank you for your
consideration and your attention to this very important issue in
our neighborhood.
