Several residents appeared to complain about plans to remove an existing wall to accommodate the new development. Many complaints involved internal RR matters, such as speeding cars on private streets, that were not part of the item for TAB consideration. They requested the new development area be segregated as a separate gated community with its own entrance. Member D. Laible advised residents that to do so would force residents to exit RR to take advantage of the amenities inside the complex and was out of line with RR policies and practices.

A previous motion to approve with conditions of full brightness of the animated video screen with a commitment to operate at a lower light level “at night” failed due to lack of a second.
