	1. Herb Nelson, 1385 W. Vienna Rd. said there is already too much noise from

	of trees to buffer the noise.
	2. Don McKim, 13104 Grant Circle said the drive will not line up with Vienna
	Meadows, and with the increased traffic will they need a traffic light. He also asked
	about the cost of the homes.
	Chairperson Curtis opened comments to the Board.
	Palmer said the 1st building will be 300' back from the entrance so noise won't be a
	problem, and there will be a 35' setback around the outside. It will be a full condo
	project and will have a clubhouse. He recommends approval.

	Giltinan asked about detention pond and Mr. DeMarr said all water goes to detention
	pond and is then metered off. He also asked about a sign and Mr. DeMarr said it
