He believes that the whole idea of using this property for something other than which it was built and has been used is a little daunting. He asked the Council if they wished Forsyth to remain a residential area or if this is just another piece of University City that Wash U. is taking. This will become another home off the tax rolls. Traffic and parking is horrendous on Forsyth now and this new use will only add to it. He is opposed to this rezoning.
Parking is a major concern.
He believes a permit parking plan should be considered. He has quite a bit of personal experience with the Episcopalian students at the University. They have the student group to their house twice a year and he knows Mike Kinman very well. They are unusually responsible, positive students and they are not typical college students. He believes they make a real positive contribution to community service in the immediate area including University City.
