I am a former employee of QMC and have a question. One of the buildings you plan to demolish contains what we called Founders Hall. It is a hallway outside of the cafeteria and contained many plaques and commendations and memories from buildings previously demolished. I am wondering what you plan to do with those plaques etc. Will they be displayed someplace, like perhaps with the renovations to the Administration Building? Please let me know. If you are not going to use them there is one in particular that the Nursing Staff would want to have. Although, I do believe they should be displayed. They are part of history. Thank you, Marilyn Novak

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.

i think 598 units is too many for that area. I think 400 is plenty. I also would like to see it rented by 55+ residents, assisting living, and low income seniors. I don't want to see children because the area schools are over crowded now. I am thankful there will be no traffic emptying on Euclid Ave but people will be able to go out that way.

Where will the parking garages be located?? Trash collection?? What about the neighbors on Colonial Drive.. 6 story building with a roof top terrace to look into my yard, why not put the larger building in the middle away from the neighborhoods. Traffic and the schools.. Lots of questions..

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 believe that the first priority should be to clean up the overgrowth, get rid of trash/poison ivy, etc., but largely leave the park as is, an open space for passive recreation. The picnic area could use some clean up, with a slightly better defined grass area with maybe a few benches, but I would resist the urge to try to install any infrastructure requiring upkeep.

Reduced overgrowth/better landscaping!
