The reasons are as follows: <br /> <br />We were highly against the building of the complex in the first place; however, it was noted <br />that parking will not be an issue and there would be retail space to bring a positive experience <br />in the area. <br /> <br />Please note that parking has been difficult to find in the evenings, increase in loitering in the <br />area, increase in traffic, and increase in noise especially with barking dogs left on the balcony. <br /> <br />What retail is there right now? NOTHING! I personally called the leasing office inquiring <br />about taking out a space for my business. I was given a phone number to strive gut, and I <br />called and left a message THREE times and never heard back from the man I was directed to <br />call. What is happening to the retail space? <br /> <br />If the people in charge cannot follow through on the potential increase in business by leasing <br />the retail space, they should not be making any more decisions until they follow through with <br />the original plans. <br /> <br />If no one is willing to entertain potential tenants for the EMPTY retail space, then the people <br />in charge need to stop making additional decisions that can potentially negatively affect our <br />neighborhood. <br /> <br />A public laundromat open to the public for those hours opens up the area to loitering unless <br />there are things for people to do. <br /> <br />Open the retail spaces, THEN we can discuss opening up the laundry room. Follow through! <br />Council members should have the city's best interest, not their own. Make wise decisions and <br />hold people accountable, council members. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
