complaints of the neighborhood residents.

of the complex spoke in favor of the application stating that it is

to place additional parking spaces to comply with the code.
Dr. Fleagle con~nented that no subdivision map has been submitted but
this railroad property could be incorporated into the project by
complying with the subdivision map act.

neighborhood.
Anne Christine Flodihn, 13181Gwyneth Drive, Unit C, resident of the
complex stated that she lives there because of the meditation group
and questioned if she would be allowed to have her friends attend the
meditation group meetings with her.
