The Future of Country Club Drive

This project is too dense and too tall for the area.

Vote “No”.

The proposed project is it not only to dance for the location, but it will create congestion in the neighborhoods behind. Tenants in this complex will unquestionably use Palmer, Grissom, and other roads to avoid Main St.

It is all about density and protecting our neighborhoods and pedestrians. Please listen to the citizens. Vote NO.

NO. In as much as I welcome affordable housing, tripling the density of this project will pose a big problem to the community.

I am against this project. Too much congestion; too large and dense for the area and would devalue this historical neighborhood.

This is crazy. There's got to be another way to do this. Too tall and too dense

Too much development and traffic

May be getting close to having to change the bumper sticker. If the Town continues to approve this type of misguided development Blacksburg won’t be special anymore.

Too dense and too tall. Right on edge of beautiful neighborhood… shame…

The current planned use for the area should be maintained at Medium Density Residential; higher density here will further squeeze the existing neighborhoods between it and the Middle School site. It's therefore important that development here continues to follow the Future Land Use plans, and the developer has not provided a sufficient reason to change that. If necessary, additional support should be provided to allow Low Income Housing to be built here, but it needs to be built at the planned density and at a scale that fits the surrounding residential neighborhoods. Lower density housing should also provide a better quality of life for the low income residents it's planned to serve.

This light is already a traffic situation - one of the few places to turn left on Main from the SE side of town... it cannot support the density here, especially with only one entrance on Country Club

Please vote no

I'VE WORKED WITH NONPROFITS IN THIS AREA FOR OVER 30 YEARS. THE TOP THREE SALARIES OF THE PRINCIPAL "OFFICERS" IN 2019 WAS NEARLY $1 million! Key Employees and Officers Compensation JANAKA CASPER (CEO) $397,192 JEFFREY K REED (PRESIDENT) $287,325 DAVID SCHULTZ (VICE PRESIDENT) $254,707 They are hiding by the nonprofit chimera; don't be fooled!

Minimal, dense, stark apartment housing is not the right solution to the affordable housing dilemma...here or anywhere.

I was in an accident at the intersection of Country Club and S. Main St. where my car was totaled in October 2020; a student ran a red light. The intersection is already too busy and adding that many housing units there would be a poor move.

I am concerned that over time this development will deteriorate as successive apartment owners, which might include VT students looking for cheap housing, move in and move out and as other, newer housing developments come on line. I also object to the scale and size blockhouse-like architecture. Finally, I disapprove of moving the bike path 25 feet closer to Margaret Beeks elementary. The space between the proposed building and school is a sound & sight barrier—and a corridor for wildlife.

typo correction to the above ........ is a double "slap in the face" to many citizens ....

This is a controversial request and due to the level of controversy and opposition by Blacksburg tax paying citizens-- it would be wrong for our elected town council to approve this project and then support it by refunding utility connection and building permit fees and by participating on development cost (i.e. required sidewalk improvements, etc.). If the request is approved, the developer will ask for these and other town support as a follow up. For the town to reduce town revenues or to financially contribute to a project with this level of opposition is a double "slap in the face" to many citizens who are vested and care deeply about our town.

Not a big box like Walmart, townhomes would be better.
