Preserve the Diginity of the Divinity School Campus

The beautiful aesthetics deserve to be preserved.

Don’t ruin anymore beautiful landmarks!!

Please do not go forward with the proposed development. It is a blight on our neighborhood. It would destroy destroy a historical landmark for the sole purpose of greed and money.

I am appalled by the proposal for this quiet and peaceful neighborhood. This developer or should I say real estate manager has no experience working within historic settings. He noted in his presentation to the neighborhood that his claim to fame was the building of an LA Fitness facility in a suburb. Does the city of Rochester need this? Build a tall building (or a few), say it's luxurious, and put in a parking lot. That is the vision of the past and does not speak to this beautiful and peaceful part of the city. Please be forward thinking and consider the environmental damage that would be done with this current plan.

It would be horrible to ruin the beauty of the Divinity School.

Why would you do this? City Council would you want this in YOUR neighborhood? Not everything is always about MONEY.

It doesn't fit!

i live in this neighborhood. the last thing this neighborhood needs is more apartment buildings, offices and a hotel. the current structure already has banquet facilities

Why is this still even in question? VOTE NO.

This is a beautiful neighborhood landmark and should be thoughtfully redeveloped.

I love this building and the surrounding grounds.

One of Rochester's most precious possessions is its architectural heritage. This short-sighted development plan would sacrifice a public treasure and established source of civic pride for (the uncertain prospect of) private gain. It's a terrible trade-off. It must be stopped.

It’s interesting that over 100 years ago the City understood how to develop Highland Park and Mt. Hope Cemetery. Today a very similar site is being considered for purely economic reasons. Once this type of development is completed, this fragile neighborhood will be worse for it.

This is an inappropriate development on an historic site that needs a much greater level of stewardship that what is being proposed.

The Landmark Society needs to take over to make sure Rochester's history is preserved.

Please don't destroy this beautiful site with the proposed development.

It doesn't fit!

This level of development at this location is inappropriate and unnecessary.

The history of our city and our country is fading. Let’s preserve the beautiful building and surrounding landscapes. It still can be renovated and made into apartments. I’d love to be I’ve if the residents there.

To whom it may concern, The current plan is inadequate. Thoughtful development is ok, but this plan does not take into account the neighborhood concerns (a few of the main ones listed below, I could go on...): 1) preservation of a historic site- the current plan detracts from the site and will decimate the historical value of the site. Development plans should add value to the site and surrounding neighborhood. There is no benefit to the site or the neighborhood with this plan, just the developers pocket book. 2) future unintended consequences of rezoning as previously mentioned leading to further misguided development of the site and destruction of the site and surrounding neighborhoods. 3) scale is excessive for site- developer needs to be more creative with plan to make it doable for him financially while considering objections of neighborhood instead of minimizing them. For example: could develop the two dormitories into a third space, add two other smaller buildings. In doing so he could decrease the height of the buildings, where the top of new construction does not exceed tree height. In doing so the plan would not cast excessive shade and negatively effect current views of neighbors and the site. 4) height of structures impacting views and creating excessive shade on adjacent neighborhood 5) traffic 6) environmental impact of runoff, garbage, light and sound pollution 7) negative impact of adding commercial spaces-restaurant/bars in a residential neighborhood where people walk their dogs and children on the streets. This plan is no good! The neighborhood concerns must be addressed. A more through assessment of impact on surrounding neighborhood and thoughtful plan must be developed prior to approval. Rezoning the site sets up a slippery slope for future development. Vote no! Regards, Adam J. Doyle, MD
