Hi Jean,

This is Chris Weiner again, I live at 33 Park Street. I know we have
exchanged some emails, and my plan is to save any specific comments for the
meeting , but I wanted to send a few thoughts along for inclusion in the
meeting binder.

I am still concerned about the design of the building they want to build.
It seems out of place for this neighborhood, and it also seems overly
ambitious for that space. It also appears they may plan on lining the back
with central air units, which would create noise and just generally be
obnoxious for everyone here and in the surrounding buildings. In general,
it seems that the goal here is to try and squeeze as much onto the land as
possible, without consideration of anything or anybody else, and that is
distressing.

As I said before, I am generally in support of development, and will always
support development in Portland *when it is done right. *Contrary to the
accusations made by their engineering firm in the last paragraph of their
recent response (which were out of line, in my opinion), I think people in
this building and neighborhood support development on that land, but *only if
it is done right*. I do not think anyone here is convinced this proposal
passes that test yet.

Thanks

Chris
