Hello,I am writing to express my concerns with the potential takeover/redevelopment of the library parking lot into aparking garage area. I am concerned that there will not be enough parking spaces available to library patrons bothduring construction and after construction is complete (due to use by the hotel and townhomes). It concerns me thatthe developer will cut down existing trees and green space and remove the sculptures in the area. It concerns me thatthe library will not be able to expand, if needed, in the 75 years that the lease is in effect. It concerns me that this iscity land and the developers think paying $1/year is sufficient. We LOVE the library. I bike, walk, drive to thelibrary weekly with my children and by myself and I would HATE to see the parking lot developed in the mannerthat the developers are proposing. We also use the trails around the library weekly and I would hate to see thislandscape changed.Thank you,
