And they put out notices but the community didnt have is a chance to give input. Without incriminating positively or negatively on the proposal an observation would be this is a low rise neighborhood of Small Businesses and homes. This is a one hundred and 50 foot tower in the middle of the block that will cast a significant amount of shadows. It seems 40 to be out of scale with the Small Businesses and mobile homes homes on this block of bush street. The project sponsors want to retain their city car rental in there which is a positive thing but the scope and scale of the proposed tower is disconcerting. I would personally urge the commission to not approve at this time but to request a continuous from the project sponsor so we the surround Neighborhoods Association and homeowners and merchants can meet with them and give feedback as to some of the elements of this project. So thank you very much. Linda chapman. I was kajtd by an alarmed jean about the size and bulk and also about Rob

The building mass is reduced by open court yard design by 20 feet on both sides of the building.

It should fit in about the rest of the buildings and take some clues from the neighborhood. Donates the one thanking thing and the other thing is the parking lot. We heard theyve got a hardship they cant meet the codes because theyd have to go subterranean and im not sure why they cant be having the additional 6 parking places when they seem to be able to put in 26. I dont know what the appropriate time is to make some of the changes but we need design changes i think it takes 4 months this is a difficult site and. Maybe i can ta
