Dear Ross, I got on to the City's Community Development Viewer this evening to see how the North Central (née the Sanitarium District) review was progressing, and I couldn't find an update. Have I missed it somewhere? I was further startled to discover a layer under the Master Development plan suggesting that the City appears to have already been piecemeal approving the development, and specifically, "The Henry." Is this correct?? What's the point of asking for comments on a master development plan if approvals for individual components have already been handed out? Would you please direct me to the public comments that were received about the erection of "The Henry" as you did for the Master Development Plan? I couldn't find any. I glanced through the plans for the "The Henry," and it appears that our planners are suggesting (Preliminary Approval?) that it is A-OK, and in keeping with the NCOD neighborhood interface and COAs, to have no step down or interface between 6-stories and a 131-year-old neighborhood? By what logic is that possible? Please tell me that the "The Henry" design doesn't have final approval. If it does, is there an appeal process? Sincerely, Craig Craig M.

Coincidentally, I received a newsletter from NENA yesterday saying that most of the comments were about "The Ives." I find that interesting. Are the comments submitted regarding the master plan available for viewing somewhere? I would be excited to read them. Thank you very much for your reply. Sincerely, Craig Craig M.

Dear Ms. Garber, This email follows-up on the email I sent you on 6/10/2021 regarding the prospective demolition of the sanitarium complex, the prospective erection of "The Henry," and other aspects of "North Central." I wish I would have heard back from you. Nevertheless, thank you for this opportunity to provide public comment. I've taken the liberty of Cc'ing a few interested parties, and I will send this email and attachment under separate cover to others to help spread the word in the community. Sincerely, Craig
