<br />ISSUES RAISED <br /> <br />1) Affordable Housing: <br />a. This rezone request does not disturb any of the apartment buildings. <br />b. There are a few houses on the property to be rezoned to Cl <br />i. Majority are vacant <br />ii. But the reason for the conditional use is to allow occupancy of <br />those houses to continue in the near term. <br />111. One of the houses is occupied by a long-term owner occupant <br />1. We have an agreement with Mr. Schwengle whereby he <br />will continue to live there as long as he desires <br />2. He is 85 <br />2) Community Gardens: <br />a. We have leased land to the Comnlunity Action Coalition for a temporary <br />community garden <br />b. The area in question is not in the rezone area <br /> <br />3) Traffic <br />a. We have not heard of a traffic concerns other than truck traffic through the <br />residential neighborhood <br />b. We would support signing the residential streets restrictions on truck <br />traffic <br />1. However, this should be taken up with the Town <br />11. We have no control over signage <br /> <br />4) Jobs <br />a. It has been our longstanding goal to bring jobs to the neighborhood <br />i. And really we are just starting to build a critical mass of <br />employment <br />b. We would like to see as many of these jobs go to neighborhood residents <br />as possible. <br />c. Have aJew ideas on that <br />1. Key item for us was to attract an education component with ITT <br />11. Many ways we can collaborate with ITT to make education <br />affordable, such as scholarships, student loans and grants, etc <br />111. We have been talking about finding a partner to keep a database or <br />a list of resumes for neighborhood residents who want a job <br />1. That we can communicate to our tenants, the employers <br />WE DON'T CLAIM TO HAVE ALL THE SOLUTIONS <br />o BUT WE ARE DOING OUR PART <br />o AND WE ARE WILLING TO COLLABORATE WITH ANYONE <br />THAT IS WILLING TO HELP US DO SOMETHING POSITIVE. <br />
