251 Mark ZappasodiI think that this project is too large and disrupting to our community. As a parent to a young teenage girl, I am very concerned of having newly released sex offenders in my neighborhood and will fight this proposal every step of the way.

261 John GriemeAs the owner of several properties in the area, I understand the need for services in the area. However, this isn't just a matter of NIMBY, the area is oversaturated with facilities such as these, and needs to be spread out a bit more. It's scary enoug to walk on some of the local streets after dark, but to introduce additional people in need of mental healthcare is just too much. The people living in the neighborhoods of St. George, Tompkinsville, and New Brighton deserve to have a quality of life enjoyed by people in other neighborhoods. With four schools within a few block radius, the risk to our children is also something that needs to be considered. This is definitely a wrong place to site this, and I stronlgy urge you to withdraw your approval.

280 Preston G. GianniniAs a graduate of Curtis High School, I feel strongly about this. I walked by that address twice daily for most of my time in high school, and spent a lot of time after school in the area. This proposal holds too much potential of endangering the neighborhood, as well as the hundreds of students attending the several schools in that area.

288 Isabel DonlonUntil recently, I walked to school and passed through fort place. Having the convent there always made the walk a little more interesting and different, and I would always see many other students taking this route. This facility would really discourage people from walking through fort place, even though it is one of the best ways to get to the Staten Island ferry, and is always busy in the morning. This is not an underpopulated area, but rather a bustling place that is close to the most famous ferry in the world. It saddens me that St. Vincent's has so little disregard towards the ever changing dynamic of the neighborhood, and this facility would surely ruin any positive progress we have made. The fact that so many different kinds of people take this route to get to work or school is a testament to the neighborhood's diversity and personality, and the construction this facility would completely transform not only fort place but the entire surrounding area.

290 John Mazzella, EsqI live directly across the street from the Convent. SVC has told us that the building will have no doctor, nurse, pharmacy, or even 1 security guard! Exactly How will these 59 mentally ill prisoners be treated? The nearest hospital is 4 miles away, and it USed to be owned by SVC!! Enough is Enough, and Too Much is Too Much.

294 Halina McCormackI am in opposition to this proposal for the SVCMC facility for the mentally ill on Fort Place because the facility is in my opinion not suitable for comforable habitation. There are no trees or greenery within the walls of the property. Bayley Seton looks as if it is abandoned and would be a perfect, humane place for this kind of function. Safety is also a concern of mine- the location is too close to schools (P.S. 16, Curtis High School, McKee Vocational High School, St. Peter's Girl's High School, St. Peter's Elementary School, among many others) and commuter traffic walking to/ from ferry.

296 Joanne ShulmanI live between the Project Hospitality facility on Jersey Street and the proposed facility at 78 Fort Place. Enough is enough!!!

298 James PearsonPlacing this facility in a residential area, so close to 3 schools (including a PS school 1 block away) is absolutely unacceptable! With the largest concentration of social service programs on Staten Island already in this area, it is grossly unfair to even consider putting even one more social service program in our community (regardless of how small it is or for what demographic it will serve). Enough is Enough!!!!!
