Subject: 21103 RE1-LLC - Block proposal without commercial component.

Body: Tell them why they shouldn't allow this project. Here are some points.

We urge you to take the following actions:

Block any development application lacking a retail ground floor component.
Require any proposal to include bottom floor retail spaces.
Advocate for the inclusion of three-bedroom units to address the housing needs of families.
Apply pressure to the Board of Zoning Adjustment to support our concerns & objectives.
Prevent any proposal from being accepted that doesn’t focus on adding a retail space with an anchor business.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to sign. Hopefully we are able to enact some positive change. 

Respectfully,

Brad Garness
