We, the undersigned neighbors in Lakeside, oppose the development project at 44 Wright Avenue.

We feel that the accessory building is out of scale with the adjacent buildings, and are fearful that the elimination of 2 large specimen trees -- to be replaced by a 3-story building that towers over the original historic building it shares the lot with-- will be a geat loss and a detriment to our neighborhood. We are concerned that, contrary to current zoning articles, nearly all of the green space will be utilized for driveways, buildings, decks and walkways.

There are no architectural or natural features to help blend this project into the neighborhood. We feel that the lot is being over utilized and that only providing 3 parking spaces with an undersized turn around for 7 apartments is going to be a problem on our streets and the neighboring properties.

We are concerned that the understated nature of this historic neighborhood is not being honored or improved upon. If this gets done it cannot be undone, when the test of time proves that it was a mistake to deface historic Lakeside.

Please consider our thoughts and reconsider as you move forward.
