Name: Katie Zender on Jun 17, 2010Comments: I strongly oppose the rezoning petition for the Strawn Apts property that is currently being requested by CHA. It sets a very poor precedent for respecting ULI recommendations, small area plans and TOD guidelines, disregarding the time thought and work that has gone into plants trying to enhance and protect neighborhoods. The petition ignores guidelines and asks for exceptions/variances on building heights at the outset. It's embarrassing to attend all the meetings and see how little CHA has listened or accommodated...all the while saying they are "working" with us.Flag

Name: Kristen Henderson on Jun 17, 2010Comments: The bottom line---TOD is dense enough, and any plan that exceeds it even slightly should be rejected out of hand on principle alone by City Council. If I understand correctly, the CHA/City paid ULI $68,000 for a "world class" study that was embraced by the neighborhood. It then immediately hired an architect to put together a "plan" that initially not only more than doubled the recommended density on the site, but also significantly exceeded the TOD zoning height restrictions. This process would be disappointing enough on its face, but that it has happened on property adjoining an historic neighborhood makes it that much harder to fathom.Flag

Name: Josh Rimany on Jun 17, 2010Comments: As a community leader and past DCDA president, I not only oppose petition 2010-22, but I am dissapointed and appauled that the planning dept and city council would even concider approving a proposal like this one. This rezoning not only goes against the city's plans for TOD developement, it goes against the ULI study and guidlines for the site, which the city just paid for. Rezoning these 17 acres without a specific site plan is not only dangerous for this crucial parcel of land, it also sets a very bad precedent for future development.Flag

Name: Ernie Dehnert on Jun 17, 2010Comments: Strawn has been and can continue to be a good neighbor. However the proposed development is totally out of character for the neighborhood and the density is over the top. The current residents and the entire area will suffer if this is allowed to continue in its present form.Flag

Name: Quincy Acklen on Jun 17, 2010Comments: I oppose this plan. It is not even close to being within TOD guidelines, and IF the plan suddenly changes we the public need to look at it before deciding. Lowes had pages of provisions and rules for their plan, but this massive site has but one page?!! CHA hasn't even address the low income elderly in their own plan - for me that alone call into question their motives - I can at best trust only what they commit to in writing, and not a single thing they say.Flag

Name: Paula Stewart on Jun 17, 2010Comments: PLEASE! DONT MAKE THIS DECISION IN HASTE and thus invalidate the many prior years of vision, tediously hard work and planning by our businesses and residents whose belief that careful execution of development in Dilworth ensures future success for Charlotte's "first suburb" and for Charlotte overall. Members of City Council surely know that this area of the city is important--a truly vital puzzle piece of Charlotte's appeal as a destination and vibrant, attractive place to live. You have only to stand on the street viewing this particular parcel of Dilworth's business district & know it represents the heart of this great neighborhood. We all want development here but we only have one chance to do it right. While we do realize that tax revenue & new business from quick development would help our city's bottom line in the shorter term, experience tells us that rushed & thoughtless passage of this rezoning, will surely create "open season" on one of the true jewel areas in Charlotte's crown.Flag

Name: Theresa Payton on Jun 17, 2010Comments: I do not agree with the rezoning petition as it is designed. Please leave the property as it is today. Why does the city feel the need to displace those lovely residents? You are disrupting families, neighborhoods, and the overflow character. Why? To make a buck? Because you don't like the way it looks? Improve the property and take care of the people there.Flag

Name: Jeanne Woosley President, Sedgefield Neighborhood Assoc. on Jun 17, 2010Comments: I oppose this rezoning petition. City Council should uphold the TOD guidelines in place versus bending them to meet the will of developers who will not be residents of the area they impact.Flag

Name: Erin Holland on Jun 17, 2010Comments: Let's preserve the essence of Dilworth....too much density will congest already crowded roadways. This area already has solid density guidelines and the current zoning should be sufficient. This current proposal does NOT add value to the local community.Flag

Name: Janelle Travis on Jun 17, 2010Comments: This rezoning request has NO plan, just overwhelms the property, displaces low income residents, with no guarantee of return, no green space other than a water drainage area. CHA has not heard the Dilworth Community , every meeting they say they do..... obviously not true. This rezoning would take a pleasant area to live in and destroy it. Actually, I think CHA needs to get its self together and work with the communities to improve what they have. And improve their mode of operation.Flag

Name: Craig And Paula Reutlinger on Jun 17, 2010Comments: How in the world can the members of the City Council vote anything but NO on this re-zoning petition when it clearly ignores provisions and recommendations of people that have been hired to make recommendations which best fit the community it is designated for and about. Dilworth already receives enough traffic from people crossing from the north to south and visa versa. this would only make it worse --not to mention what it would do in terms of traffic on East Boulevard, now down to one lane. We also do not want individuals coming in with "Big Pink Building" ideas. And while we have the Historic District in place, owners after a year can do whatever they want to with the property. We have already seen that happen. PLEASE CITY COUNCIL DO WHAT IS RIGHT FOR DILWORTH, THE FIRST HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOOD IN CHARLOTTE. PROTECT IT FROM DEVELOPMENT WHICH DOES NOT COINCIDE WITH WHAT THE DCDA HAS WORKED SO HARD TO DO OVER THE YEARS -- TO PROTECT THE HERITAGE OF EDWARD DILWORTH LATTA AND THE INVESTMENT OF TIME AND ENERGY TO MAKE THIS A BEAUTIFUL AND SAFE PLACE TO LIVE.Flag
