Dear Mr. Shepard
Thank you for arranging and attending the resident's informational meeting at the church in
Brittany Knolls last night.
f attended the meeting and asked several questions about the project.
This morning I was thinking about the concerns of our neighborhood and, in particular, the line of
sight issues. One thing that would really help us all, I believe, would be new sketches showing a
south to north view that includes the houses on Westbourn Circle illustrating the height of the
houses and the height of the proposed bus garage. Then we would be able to see the actual line of
sight, from upper and lower house floors, rather than hearing descriptions we may not, necessarily,
trust.
On the sketches we saw last night, that was not shown and many of the concerns are that the
neighbors most impacted will see brick walls, or green man-made hillocks, and lose any of the
treasured view.
The line of sight sketches could put that concern to rest.
I would also, respectfully, suggest that further consideration is given to a revised design, flat
roofed, or lower (excavating more earth to place the building lower) at the very least. If the Mason
Corrididor funding is $82M, then surely we could find the money for a flat roof, doors and a better
design to improve the line of sight?
More detail on noise levels, training hours etc would also be appreciated, as they become available.
Thank you again and I look forward to the next meeting
Yours sincerely
Fiona H Alder (Mrs)
