Request to DPD for Public Meeting on Talaris Site

Completely agree with the petition

It is paramount that the neighborhood is fully informed regarding this Project...With the Holidays upon us, this meeting should be in Jan. or Feb. 2014

This project is very near to a wild life refuge -- the increased traffic resulting from implementation will have a terrible impact on the refuge and also on the neighborhood. Please reconsider!

Please schedule a meeting on the future of this neighborhood jewel.

Please schedule a neighborhood meeting in January so that you can understand the needs and concerns on the community.

please respect our Laurelhurst neighborhood--a rare in-city gem that can't be replaced.

It is important that a public hearing is held very soon

I urge you to respect the land-use rules and the concerns of the neighborhood.

We would like to discuss the impact to both the eagle wildlife and the neighborhood

Please follow land use code and convene a meeting after the holidays

Re Project Number 3015404:

has so much impact to community that it shoud go to public

RE: Project Number 3015404 As a member and/or supporter of the Laurelhurst Community Club (LCC), I am concerned about Project No. 3015404 located at 4000 NE 41st Street, the Battelle/Talaris site. The proposal for this 18-acre site is to subdivide it into 82 parcels and seven tracts of land in an environmentally critical area, with demolition of all existing buildings and substantial grading of the site. A public meeting convened by DPD about this proposal is essential to facilitate public understanding of and comment on it. That meeting should be scheduled after the holidays, in January 2014, and should be arranged so that knowledgeable DPD staff persons are present to answer questions and take comments about the proposal. I understand that section 23.76.015 A2 of the Seattle Land Use Code calls for such a meeting when "the proposed development is of broad public significance." This clearly applies here. The Battelle/Talaris site is broadly recognized as a site of key significance to the City as demonstrated by the fact that the Landmarks Board recently unanimously designated the site and its buildings as a City landmark. Section 23.76.0153 A2 of the Seattle Land Use Code also calls for a public meeting when "fifty or more persons file a written request" for one. Therefore, this request should be added to the total requesting a meeting. Thank you.

I am concerned about the plans for the Talaris sight. Want a public hearing.

yes we need a meeting on this proposal

Please preserve this unique property that is an asset to the city and our community

I am concerned about this project at the Talaris site because of the location of a Bald Eagle nest in the poplar trees on the site. The eagles have nested there for at least the past 5 yrs.

The ECA's and habitat must be respected.

I agree that a public meeting is necessary in this case and scheduled so as not to conflict with holidays. This is a unique site and deserves reflective debate about it's highest and best use before carving it up. thank you to the Laurelhurst community for paying attention for all of us.

I fully support the necessity of holding a public meeting to discuss all community concerns...
