Hi Dave,
We have not crossed paths for a very long time and when I watched the meeting the other night it
was so nice to see you!!! I watched for a couple of hours until my battery went dead (was in bed
with cold/flu ). I did not see any of the testimonies against the project so don't know exactly
what aspects of the project were discussed. But, I would like to say that I think it is a beautiful
project -- it is lovely. But, there is no way it can possibly work at that congested location. None
of the four streets can possibly accommodate delivery trucks, moving vans which will be
constant.... People move in and out of rentals-they don't move in and stay; and they tend to move
on the weekend. 260 units is a lot of people for that site. And, I venture to guess that 50% of the
tenants will move out when the lease is up because the location is so noisy and such a hassle. The
functionality alone of what is proposed seems impossible for that site without negatively
impacting every part of that area of downtown.
You have a tough assignment here and I know your concerns would be technical---mine is just
basic concern for the businesses and events already there How about if they move this project
over to B St??? Where the library was proposed? It would have to be cut down by at least one-
half to be appropriate for that site, In My opinion. Now that I have seen and heard all the details
of this plan I am in shock that anyone would think it can go THERE!!
Thank you for listening, Dave. I had to 'spew'.
Nanci
