I have scheduled the Community Room for WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24th AT 7 PM for a meeting of all those who would like to have a discussion on the adjacent property issue. I hope to have completed a review of all of the documents from the previous attempt to develop the property and be able to present some concrete issues to be covered in a possible petition to the Palo Alto Planning Commission and/or City Council when and if this issue comes up. Please try to attend so that we can coordinate all of our ideas into a united front.
Some thoughts as we begin to pull our committee together….
As I drive along El Camino, all the other developments seem to be self contained and autonomous. Barron Square should have the same rights.
The condo developments in our area [old and certainly the newer ones] appear to maintain the integrity of their physical space; they have not been breached. I don’t believe any of the condo communities similar in structure and make up to ours have been forced to have another community go through and penetrate its environment and land area, thus ‘invading’ its physical location and psychological security.
It would be of interest to learn of any condo community [even with a city street running through it] that’s been forced into making a ‘right of way’ down its middle….as is being proposed here.
