No retail space - draws more traffic.

keeping traffic from coming into our neighborhoods is of high importance. Clean well maintained property with active building managers. Thank you

Adding retail will serve to invite more people and traffic into the area.

We do not need retail space in a residential neighborhood. There is plenty of retail in Quincy Center.

six story buildings positioned at the edges of the site with a 25 ft .buffer between these buildings and neighboring properties is unacceptable.

I think they should have studied the traffic along Adams into East Milton Sq. A traffic study based on 2014 traffic patterns and ONLY including Whitwell itself is a joke. Start over.

For those of us who abut the parking lot on Roselin, we need a new privacy fence installed. The chain link one is old and falling down and with tons of construction and new people, it would be really important to protect the privacy of the residents who are already living there.

Scale of the project is too large for a residential neighborhood. It will generate additional traffic which this area of Quincy cannot handle.

I do not think there should be any amenity retail space in the development. There is no needand opening up the area to any such use threatens future use of the property. It is important to understand that this property can change hands at any point and uses could change. We do not need additional traffic into the area to take advantage of amenity retail space.

Fox Rock has no experience that I know of in residential developments. In an already multi-generational, owner occupied neighborhood your scale of number of residents to acreage to this property is beyond acceptable. The traffic alone is a danger to the current multi-generational residents of the neighborhood. Biking uphill on Whitwell is not easy even for the most experienced rider. Therefore, automobiles will be the likely mode of transportation for the new residents, hence increased traffic. Also need assurance local, union, experienced workers will be used in the quality construction, i.e., ironworkers, electricians, pipefitters, etc.

The PUD excludes retail in this development. Already the number count of residents is much too high and adding public visitors to a retail location will only add to the 100% traffic spilling out on Whitwell Street.

I think you need to answer a lot of questions before this project proceeds. Specifically: • What is the anticipated mix between assisted living/independent living/family units? You must have at least an idea of what you think is possible. • You mention 598 units, but what is the mix of studio/1 bedroom/2 bedroom/3 bedroom units? This can make a huge difference in the total expected. If all are 2 bedroom, that is another 1,196 people. Again, you must have some idea of what you want. • What is the target price for rents – is it high-end, moderate, affordable? Is there a mix of these types? Again, you must have some idea of how you want to target the market. • What about 40(b) – are there plans to ofr affordable units? If so, how many? • The traffic study cannot be correct. If you are planning 825 spaces, there is no way it will only generate 163 trips in the morning and 212 trips in the evening (numbers in the documents). Your own numbers estimate that 33% will use public transportation, so that leaves 549 cars that will be in use each day (66% of 825). • Have you considered the impact on the local schools? Since you did not specify your target market, it is hard to tell, but there must be at least an estimate of how many families will live there. Even if ¼ of the units are for families that is potentially 149 units with kids. Can Bernazzani handle another 149 or more schoolkids?

I totally agree with Carol this project is exactly what the city doesn't need, more over priced apartments that only make money for the developers while the residents have to put up with increased traffic and noise.
I think the developers gave up too quickly on the site being a medical campus and instead want this far more profitable "multi-generational" development. Multi-generational is nothing more than a code word for more senior housing (which Quincy has more than its fair share of) and luxury apartments which Quincy already has an over abundance of.
If a medical use can't be found I'd be more in favor of condos or single family homes not more apartments.
