There needs to be some leeway for large strollers, pets on leases, wheelchairs...I have never heard of a building being erected at the very edge of a sidewalk. Especially since there isn't even a safe bike path along the street. The sidewalk congestion will be horrible!

We need to have proper set back requirements and consistency in Grand Haven, especially along the waterfront. I don’t think it is expecting too much to require some green space between the sidewalk and the building being proposed, that way the overhang is not over the sidewalk.

Holland and Muskegon have already addressed the need to maintain continuity with proposed development within key corridors. Continuity stabilizes a downtown and provides building blocks for long term stable growth while addressing property owners rights. Grand Haven needs to own up to its responsibility for future generations and develop long term solutions without caving in to short term interests.

Grand Haven zoning board failed long ago by allowing many hodge podge buildings along Washington as well as Harbor St. It’s not to late to start zoning with care and cohesiveness for the way this city looks.

I believe people should be able to develop their property, but I also believe development should be cohesive and responsible. Property owner rights must be balanced with the needs and general plan for the surrounding community. The community does not want to look back in 1, 2, or 10 years and wonder “What was the city thinking when they approved this?” I believe there needs to be more forward thinking about how this will impact the community so a development that meets the need of the property owner does not cause unintended negative consequences for community of Grand Haven

Quaint little town is turning into high money tourist town. Catering to the big $ and attracting a class of people that care very little about the town itself. Keep the charm, GH is already loosing its appeal to a 25+ year resident. Cater to your long time residence not your seasonal ones

Consider the size of this building is too large for the look of the neighborhood! Scale it down!

Grand Haven council please consider the legacy you leave to this town instead of the fast money you may receive from our neighbors down south.

This is terrible. We are not careing to local or tourism. This is for big money (chicago) condos that sit vacant 90% of the year! Ot to mention all the vacant condos we already have in town. City council needs to go!

Grand Haven needs to stop trying to expand and accommodate the tourists that come in the summer. They are taking away our small town trying to be money hungry. Keep Grand Haven beautiful! Soon there will be just buildings views instead of the beautiful Lake Michigan and The Grand River. Taking away amazing wooded areas to build more condos and apartments that nobody can afford.

I think we should keep the GH area looking like a nice small town and not a sleek modern looking structures. Part of our appeal is our older architecture. That does not blend well with high rise.
