Steve, thanks for the docs. I see a couple of possible lines of argument which may not have been
presented - at least I didn't see them.
1- the parking issue. Have they consulted Transfort? On street parking already congests the Whedbee
side of the lot and interferes with the Transfort stop. Indeed, here at 8:30pm on a snowy Sunday night
a vehicle is parked square in the middle of the designated bus -stop. And based on the snow on it, it
has not been moved at least all day, so it is probably not an 'incidental' or temporary use. Increasing
Transfort ridership is, I believe, a major city priority. What is the effect on passengers if they must
negotiate pickup and drop-off congested with on -street parking forcing Transfort drivers to disgorge
them in the traffic lanes? It almost appears this variance would conflict with stated goals for public
transportation.
2- the setback issue. Reducing the setback from current requirements gives a 'commercial' rather than
a residential feel and appearance to the neighborhood. Allowing one variation, the church, to justify
another seems backwards. (But is a continuing argument in favor.)
Need to read again and absorb more. Not sure if I can make the hearing or not yet.
Wil
