Letters to the Editor

Editor:

I read your article on the development proposed by Lenox Homes. I think your reporter missed the point. After the first session, it should have been clear that the objections were that the development was simply too large for the site. It put everything from border to border. As a result, it would impose a super large structure on a quiet residential neighborhood. After the second session, nothing had changed. Yes, there were some superficial changes, but the fact that this development is significantly too large for the site and for the neighborhood.

Eight almost 2000 sq.ft. units are too much. The three story building destroys the privacy and reduces the value of the houses along Bickerstaff. It would certainly add significantly to the parking problems in the neighborhood. By have two bedrooms and a den, they minimize the parking they need when essentially this is a 3 bedroom unit.

The project is ill conceived and after hearing all the specific comments at the meeting, I would hope that the developer would make some real changes. I am not anti-development, but I am for responsible development. I do not believe that any developer should make a profit at the cost to someone else.
