JUNE 17 2014 VOTE ON TO THE DEPOT AT SANTIAGO <br />PAGE 4 <br />Require Developer to take action to facilitate cross - community interaction: Were Logan and <br />Santiago St. Lofts neighborhoods given access to the open spaces of the Depot and were the Depot's <br />gated areas removed - plus potential other actions that we are not currently aware of - there would <br />exist the potential for wider interactions between the communities. <br />Pursue market -rate, for -sale projects in this area: In looking at a map, it's clear that the area around <br />the train station already supports a heavy concentration of affordable rental units. This is counter to <br />the City's stated desire for a wide range of income distributions. Please remove the area surrounding <br />Logan, the train station, and the Lofts from proposals seeking government subsidized or affordable <br />housing for at least the next 5 years. We ask the Mayor, Council, and Planners to seek true diversity on <br />all fronts, not just on one side of the equation, and to take what other actions are needed to assure a <br />grand vision for this area. <br />We were greatly appreciative of the opportunity to meet and begin a relationship with Councilmember <br />Martinez and City Staff just two days ago. We would like the opportunity to have the conversations <br />with each of you that the Developer has already had, and therefore we ask for your vote to delay the <br />project; and if unsuccessful, your insistence upon our reasonable conditions. <br />With our sincere thanks, <br />J�kon Niedle <br />
