The city recently rejected a proposal for the former Glen Echo School property citing that the development was too jaring for a neighborhood that consisted of mainly single family homes and not in neighborhood streets. The same should be found in the case of Jamesville. This development increases of both the chh and indwell buildings would also represent a sudden, large leap in terms of intensification, the proposed development does not enhance the existing neighborhood and is not the appropriate scale or location for a development of this size. The character of the neighborhood must be protected as it lays precident for future development and sets the standard for future growth that is respectful and appropriate for the community.
