Since the developers are applying <br /> Debbie Leonard for rezoning, we are writing to you, the Commission, <br /> Marketing Coordinator <br /> and the Common Council. <br /> Alice Miller <br /> Office Manager At the last CCA Board meeting, the Board voted 19 to 1 <br /> Board of Directors opposing the project. The reasons were: 1) the corner <br /> Becky Bonham,President <br /> Rick Pitts,Pres.Elect is too important to Niles Ave development for a <br /> KenFullmore,VicePres. convenience store, 2) The site plan was too "suburban" <br /> Greg Downes,Secretary <br /> KevinKillilea,Treasurer and not in context with the buildings around it, and 3) <br /> Bruce Bancroft,Past President the 24 hour use was a negative, not a positive. <br /> Bob Hunt,Merchants <br /> Geri Hathaway,Design <br /> Mark McDonnell,Bus.Devel. The Board did leave the door open to compromise and the <br /> Teo Hickey,Redevelopment 1)pthe building would be <br /> Tim Hartzer,Counsel criteria for that would be: <br /> Gloria Berg placed on the corner and not set back, 2) other <br /> Keith Byer alternative sites would have less negative impact for a <br /> Jim Childs <br /> Patt Crowley convenience store (i.e. Hill Street) , and 3) any <br /> , <br /> MikkiDobski "quality" promises should be put in a guarantee. The <br /> Loretta D <br /> Mike Elbode quality issues relate to lighting, building materials, <br /> milcaes landscaping, stocking groceries, no video games, and <br /> Ken Hebard <br /> Karen Kiemnec management operation issues. <br /> Bob Kraabel <br /> Craig Mac Nab <br /> Mike M jerek The East Bank Business Association also discussed the <br /> John O'Brien project and of the five or six voting members present, <br /> Vic Pantea <br /> Jeff Parker two were opposed to the project and the other three or <br /> Steve Queior <br /> four supported it for reasons of convenience. <br /> John Reese pp <br /> Jeffrey Remble <br /> Jim Roemer Both groups do agree that the area has uptapped <br /> Kitty Rose <br /> DonSchefineyer potential and is a valuable asset to the downtown area. <br /> Joe Walsh This is an important decision that has long term impact <br /> Dewery Watkins <br /> and needs careful consideration.
