Agree that overbuilding on this property would be disastrous. Local businesses are so important to the charm and core of our city. A mistake to increase traffic congestion on Hanley. We as nearby residents have been impacted to a near breaking point.

The development will dwarf the buildings on Wydown.
The traffic during construction will be a nightmare. Hanley lanes will narrow from 5 lanes to 4 lanes.
The sale contract allows the developer 36 months to complete the project. When questioned by Alderman Mark Winings, if he would agree to a shorter period, the developer would not commit.
This building will add little charm to current gem

Why do we need another 15 condos when several new developments (the Barton) and the new building at the corner of Hanley and Clayton are already underway? There is no need for redevelopment on this property.

Should be smaller project, 3 stories max, set far back from Hanley & Wydown, access only from Wydown, plenty of lawn bordering both streets

I was opposed to the development of this property the time it was proposed and this proposal is no better for many of the same reasons.

Based upon the several problems and unresolved issues stated at the the Alderman meeting on Tuesday I am not in favor of the City signing the sales contract, even if it contains several outs and protections for the City. It is disingenuous to say that the only matter before the Board is to sign a contract to sell the parking lot.
There is no compelling reason for the City to sell this property and there is no compelling benefit to Clayton or the surrounding owners.
While the Aldermen/women did not state how the City would be enhanced all seemed in favor of signing the contract now and deal with the problems which everyone acknowledges tomorrow. Once the contract is signed it
becomes much harder to say no to the development and the developer. We have all seen what happens to development in Clayton “once the train leaves the station”.
As a resident of a condo on Hanley all I see is 18+ months of disruptive construction, increased traffic congestion, obvious irreparable damage to the adjacent restaurants and a contentious fight with the developer over the tension of a profit motive vrs harm to the character of neighborhood and the further erosion to the charm of living in Clayton.

I oppose the sale of the parking lot to Savoy Properties until parking, privacy and traffic concerns are solved.
