The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were duly noted. Mr. Marx Gronberg, surveyor, was present on behalf of the applicant. Mr. Jann Olsten-3090 Farview Lane explained that he was present in the capacity of a spokesperson for the Farview Homeowners Association. He said that the concerns of the homeowner's associati-.)n were similar to those of the City staff..
