A HUGE SUCCESS

Planning Board Chairman Art Wood, who lives in Walden Lake, said he had the blessing/bad luck of being the chairman for the request. “The Planning Board’s decision will be based on the evidence of this hearing,” he said. “We all share the same ambition to have the best possible Walden Lake.”

After speakers were sworn in for the quasi-judicial public hearing, Planning and Zoning Manager Julie Ham gave a 30-minute presentation about the request and shared her professional opinion about whether the request complies with city land development codes and the comprehensive plan. “We find it consistent with the Imagine 2040 plan and have no objections,”
