VA voiced concern about not all of the <br />walls remaining as had been originally planned; feeling that the visual impact is the issue. <br />The developer has agreed to present the RHC final plans related to landscaping, retaining <br />walls, stairs and ramp and new architectural facades. <br />Finances - No new expenses since the beginning of the fiscal year. The receipt was <br />received from the DTC for the printing of the legal notice for tonight hearing; payment is <br />already in process.
