Then how we <br />can support all the new employees in with affordable living to support additional impact to the community. <br />I believe we will need to look at all of our developments proposed and under construction and then dig deep on the <br />impact these developments will have in our community, then carefully look at this site and decide together on what our <br />community can support. <br />Bottom line .... I will work hard with the community to fight this type of project of this magnitude. <br />Further, I support Mayor Howard and the city council members on leading a community outreach and discussions on <br />this site and believe that we can no go any higher than 5-7 floors(depending on design and how it fits the site). <br />Last, please keep me on a email list as I will be at the city meetings and focus groups as I am taking this one seriously. <br />Brett Weber <br />640 Maple Street. <br />235 <br />
