Subject: Formal Request for Commission Call-Up of Site Plan: 811 West Mendenhall
St
Dear Mayor and City Commissioners,
As a resident directly impacted by the proposed development at 811 West
Mendenhall St, I am formally requesting that the City Commission exercise its
authority to call up the Site Plan for this project for a full public hearing.
My request is based on the following significant concerns that require public
deliberation:
Parking and Traffic Safety: The scale of this 95-unit project creates an unprecedented
density for this corner, threatening the safety and accessibility of North 8th Avenue.
Neighborhood Character: As this site sits within the Neighborhood Conservation
Overlay District (NCOD), the current administrative review does not sufficiently
address how a 5-story structure integrates with the historic residential character of
the surrounding homes.
Conditions of Approval: There are critical unanswered questions regarding the
developer's ability to meet the affordable housing and underground parking mandates
required by the R-5 zoning.
I ask that you pull this project from administrative approval to ensure the
neighborhood has a seat at the table.
Sincerely,
Scott Bieluch
805 W Lamme St
