Staff has received over 100 emails 25 since the sketch plan phase and spoken with many residents and concerned neighbors. A 26 summary of the concerns is as follows: 27  Concerns over the density and height of the proposal. The most common concern is the 28 opinion that the comprehensive plan should not be amended to accommodate this 29 development and that height should be consistent with those around the site. 30  Concerns over the loss of affordable housing. People have expressed the need to 31 retain/replace affordable housing on the site. 32  Concerns over traffic and safety. People have stated the increase in traffic on Stinson 33 Parkway will reduce livability and increase congestion at key intersections. 34  Concerns regarding views for existing Kenzington Terrace residents. People have 35 expressed concern over the reduction in views from their units. 36  Concerns over tree removal. 37  Concerns over school capacity and other public services. 38  Concerns over the handling and treatment of storm water runoff. 39 40 Ms. Rothstein noted the revised plans reduce the density of the project, which results in almost 41 half the traffic and population within the new proposal, increase the setbacks from property 42 boundaries, and remove access from the alley. The revised plans show significant landscape 43 buffering and some tree preservation, where practical. Storm water management is located 44 primarily in surface level ponds, rather than underground storage. 45 46
