HEADS UP

Rucker Hill development continues

A developer seeking to build new homes on Rucker Hill has resubmitted plans to the city.

The city advised the developer in September that it needed to consolidate two earlier plans. That happened last month.

The location is 812 35th St., where there is a large, brick colonial-style house called the “Moody Mansion.”

If the application meets city standards, public comment could begin later this month. A preliminary decision could follow in March.
