We are in support of a zone change from Central Business District (CBD) to Planned Unit <br />Development (PUD). <br />While we recognize the concerns voiced by Area Plan Commission staff, in regard to building height, air and light quality for <br />rear facing apartments, and set backs for public areas, it is our opinion that the plan presented to us adequately addresses <br />these concerns. Also, we notice that some of the concerns are based on a 2008 East Bank Village Master Plan, whose <br />relevance we question because it was developed during a recession and at a time of declining populaton. We do not <br />believe that such an outdated plan should dictate current growth in our neighborhood. <br />We ask that you please give a favorable reccomendation to the plan by Matthews, LLC to develop a 12 story building that <br />will house a grocery- pharmacy, offices, and apartments, along with a separate parking garage in the area commonly known <br />as The Commerce Center parking lot. <br />Thank you for giving our perspective your full consideration. <br />Sincerely, <br />Mary Bundy <br />President <br />Howard Park Neighborhood Association <br />Mary Bundy, L .
