I oppose this project. The development is too large and will change the mood of our beautiful, historic downtown.

We oppose this development because the scale and scope are too large for the size of the lot. We are also concerned about the increased traffic. The motivation for the development of the site should be what will work best for this location and benefit the village. It should not be motivated by the profit the developer hopes to make by squeezing in as many apartments as they can. The city, it's citizens and the right developer can come up with a plan that agrees with the strategic plan for the Tosa village which calls for "a modest development" on this site that has "a strong respect and affinity for the scale and quality of the Village district."

We oppose this project - it's too large for the lot. I'm sure the city, citizens and the right developer can come up with a plan that works best for the site and village.

Please don't ruin our community with this oversized, unnecessary complex. We already have traffic issues there. This will make it worse than ever!

Too tall on such a small lot, not appropriate for this location. This will have many negative implications for too many citizens of Tosa. If the elected officials vote for this, they won't be our elected officials next election.

My husband I strongly oppose the size/scope of this project. This is not a 'modest' developement as is outlined in the strategic plan for the village. We support growth, but this is simply too large for the village and surrounding neighborhoods.

I'm very concerned about the impact on traffic, size affecting the charm of the neighborhood, how it is contrary to the agreed upon strategig plan for Tosa and how quickly this seems to be snuck in - hoping residents will be too distracted by the holidays to object to this development.

I am a Tosa resident who not only lives near the Village, but enjoys the convenience and quaintness of the local business district. While the proposed structure and design is quite beautiful, it does not fit with the historic charm. Additionally the added traffic and congestion to an area that already experiences daily backups east and west along State Street during rush hour already, the added influx of cars will make it nearly impossible to maneuver around. A Tosa resident may not have a choice other than to sit in this traffic enroute to their residence. However, the person from another community venturing to the Village to dine/shop may give up on their attempt, or worse stop coming and spending their disposable income. Then it starts affection the economic well being and continued growth of our Village businesses.

The proposed development is too large for the Wauwatosa Village.

While the developer "answered" the questions that were put before him, the questions were answered only to be favorable to the developer. For example, the developer met with one person who opposed it and she said, "I appreciate the changes you made." There was no corroboration that the person now supported the overall project. The widening of Blanchard Street was presented in a way that it would solve all of the traffic issues. It will not improve any traffic density and rush hour problems on any street other than Blanchard. This development might be acceptable if it was no more than three stories. The perspective pictures and "fly by" model did not show the height of the building compares to the adjacent buildings. It is much too tall.

Strategic plans are done for a reason--to honor all community stakeholders. Whenever a developer says--if we don't build it this way at this scale then it is not profitable enough. Developer profitability is not the concern of our city council--the alderpersons are accountable to the entire community.
Opposed to project - way too much for that area.
