We, the undersigned, urge the Land Use and Board of Zoning Appeals to deny the zoning variance, requested by Moda4 on behalf of The Greater Dayton Construction Group, to erect a four-story building on the southeast corner of Warren Street and Burns Ave. We do not oppose a mixed business/residential structure on this site, but we are concerned that the current design has had little study or consideration for future use. The plans were just presented to the residents within the last 45 days. This development will impact the neighborhood for the next 45 years and beyond. Everyone wants the appropriate development. The proposed four-story building is a matter of the developer making more money per square foot and the city adding numbers to their overall population. We need to make certain that we are making decisions that have been carefully thought through and studied. Cliburn Manor was a prime example of something that looked good on paper but turned into a disastrous reality. We certainly don’t want to introduce another development that could cause problems that will spread into the surrounding neighborhoods and business districts.
The current plans set a precedent for urban design. Has this approach, to new construction and design, been open to public comment and discussion? This type of development could have a bearing on all areas of town. South Park doesn’t need a quick fix. We want a developer and a development that will add value to our entire neighborhood for generations to come.
PLEASE SIGN THE PAPER PETITION IF AT ALL POSSIBLE - THIS ONLINE VERSION IS INTENDED FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T SIGN IN PERSON. THANK YOU.

I have two properties..one on Burns and one on Vine Street directly affected by this proposed use of the property. We certainly do not need 200 units in this space...It would be a traffic nightmare. We do need a small grocery store but more green space and more rehabbing of homes in the area.
I lived in South Park for ten years and constantly worked to help ensure that it was a vibrant and viable neighborhood. Does the size and design of this proposed four-story building follow the City's own urban design guidelines? It does not sound at all COMPATIBLE with the historic nature of the area. Please do not undo what so many have worked for.
A modern monstrosity, uninspired FOUR story building and cramming as many tenants as possible into a small space are BAD ideas for South Park and any historic district or urban neighborhood.This current proposal is about GREED.from an outside developer. We have seen that happen too often in the past. Yet waiting for the right project makes total sense--- Jimmy's Ladder in the Old Firehouse, The larger Cannery lofts, the newer St.Mary's Development corporation senior housing. Those FIT and enhanve the neighborhoods where they are located and reflect GOOD, inspired urban design. Also in this project-no thought to Greenspace. South Park has PARK in the name for a reason- the urban neighborhood known for greenspace.
Four stories is too much! we fought to have LESS families squished into a small space only a decade ago. Plus the proposed building design is not appropriate for Warren street and South Park.
I am opposed to putting in a 4 story building that has no historic connection. South Park, along with Dayton, doesn't need more empty buildings. It will do nothing more than bring our property values down. We happen to be the only neighborhood where property values have risen, or so my taxes tell me. Here's an idea, how about leaving green space for the beauty of it!
4 story buildings have no place in a historic neighborhood. The historic character of the neighborhood is currently its most valuable attraction. This sounds like it will be too much like the same old thing we see on every corner that is 'developed'.
Very Important to Keep the neighborhood historically intact. There are other options.

while i suspect development of this space is inevitable, i would urge the city commission and city wide development to rethink trying to shoe horn 201 units into this space. the traffic alone will be problematic. plus, as the proposed plans indicated, there are no allowances for green space at all. please, keep our neighborhood in mind when denying this variance. thank you.
