CHAPEL HILL: Chapel Hill’s 1st form-based project headed to review | Chapel Hill | ChapelHillNews.com

My reaction:



"To Chapel Hill Mayor and Town Council,


What I think would be most helpful in reviewing the Village
Plaza Apartments plan http://www.townofchapelhill.org/index.aspx?page=2504
is to see these things clearly presented:

1.      
Edited photos of the current site, showing the
proposed structure in place, as seen from a half dozen perspective close-up and
any places in the surrounding neighborhood where one would see the building.
That is the only way we can really imagine what this would look like if
constructed, and see it in the context of what will remain there for now.
2.      
A map of the area, showing all buildings,
parking lots, roads and sidewalks within a one mile radius of this proposed
construction. The map would be color-coded to show the ways in which this new
structure would connect with the surrounding area and roads and sidewalks that
would be affected, and how, by what is built and the people, businesses and
organizations that make use of it in any way.

The Town owes us this so that we can see, efficiently, the
difference that this structure would make to appearance of the Town and to the
movement of people and vehicles around the proposed building.

Terry MAGUIRE"
