Hello Commissioners,
I am writing to implore you to completely reject the ginormous apartment building planned forthe corner of 5th and Villard, currently intended to be The Guthrie. First, there are so few
parking places planned and near to none on the street, it will be a huge burden on thesurrounding neighborhood. In addition, its proximity to Whittier School makes in unsuitable to
be placed where it is planned. Furthermore, with the tiny apartments the size of most hotelrooms, it will be more like an extended-stay hotel. The residents will often be transients. And
transient residents can be potentially dangerous to elementary students so close by. It is analbatross, massive, overpowering and without any redeeming qualities that would make it fit
in a residential neighborhood near a school. Only Andy Holleran will benefit from theconstruction of The Guthrie. Please deny a go ahead for it.
Thank you,Anne Foster
