On October 21, 2004, an estimated 20 residents attended a presentation at the Lapham school auditorium by developer (Gorman and Company) for the proposed 800 block development project. Those who attended were invited to view the information sheets created by a Tenney Lapham resident and leave comments if they wished. This web page documents the information gathered from the public that night.-- David Waugh

Issue: Architecture (place a dot if this issue is imporant to you. How important is consensus architecture vs. artistic freedom)

9 dots

comments:

"Keep a classic, historic feel - like W. Wash"
"Old looking, brick"
"Yes, old brick, not sububan"
"Brick, old-style design"

Issue: Green Technologies (place a dot if this issue is imporant to you. Preserve our ability to see the stars and have cleaner lakes through proper lighting and rainwater runoff control)

7 dots

comments:

"Be mindful of lighting -- too much at night is hard on residential neighborhoods"
"Aren't there laws about this?"
"No huge parking lots."

Issue: Retail (place a dot if this issue is imporant to you. Should there be retail, do you care about the size of retail, what about chain stores -- Walgreen and Borders versus locally owned businesses.)

6 dots

Comments:

"Prefer locally owned businesses"
"Locally owned - chain stores will want too much parking"
"Locally owned ... Very Important!"
"Absolutely NO chain bookstores! No, No!"
"Local"
"Local would be great, but would accept Walgreens, Trader Joe's etc."

Issue: Public Space (place a dot if this issue is imporant to you. How important is greenspace? How about public art or performance space or a library?)

6 dots

Comments

"Public art is a great idea - sculpture especially."
"Library = Great Idea."
"Green space is only somewhat important. Service and amenities are sorely needed."

Issue: Affordable Housing (place a dot if this issue is imporant to you.)

4 dots

Comments

None

Issue: Traffic and Parking (place a dot if this issue is imporant to you. How important is off street parking? How will this development affect traffic in the area?)

1 dot

Comments

"For condos, a 1 car garage should be all that is necessary. This is a neighborhood of 1 car families and great bus service."
