To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing today to express my opposition to Appeal #25769 of Application #25238 and ask
that this plan be rejected. The proposed project blatantly does not follow the PUD and legally
binding Master Plan, which call for a single, one-level building with less than 5,000 square feet
of interior space and with no outdoor business use. We don’t understand how this plan can be
allowed to move forward when it clearly violates setback and land use regulations, and Block
Frontage Standards requirements.
There are other concerns to note:
The proposed uses include businesses in two large buildings that - as designed - may at times
need 150 or more parking spaces, and yet there are only 51 spaces provided on site. Our PUD
prohibits on-street parking, yet this will cause our streets to become parking lots. This
proposal creates major safety issues to drivers, bikers, and pedestrians because our narrow
streets will become one-lane alleys, restricting safe access to homes and endangering us all
with increased traffic, constricted traffic lanes and poor access for emergency vehicles.
The proposal will flood destination traffic into our neighborhood from all over town. This is a
quiet residential neighborhood, filled with children walking and biking to multiple nearby
schools, hikers walking on trails, and teeming with wildlife. The commercial lots at the western
entrance to our neighborhood are meant for neighborhood businesses. It was not intended to
be a cross-town attraction.
Thank you.
