Karen Stapleton From: Lauren Davis Sent: Thursday, September 25, 2025 12:33 PM To: Karen Stapleton Subject: Re: 25 SRA ***CAUTION: External sender.*** Dear Karen, thank you for trying to be so helpful to me regarding the notice of public hearing before the planning board scheduled to take place at 8 PM on Tuesday, October 7. As a neighbor to the S. Riverside Avenue. project, | am skeptical at best that amendments to original plans, will lessen the impact on those of us who live above this project. The Village government and the developers decided it was a done deal when they introduced the survey several years ago. They never listened to The over 70% of respondents who said they did not want a big building back here. They went ahead anyway. The developer took me on a site tour before they broke ground and promised that nothing would be visible at the level of the back of Van Wyck. This was clearly a lie. Initially, there were no plans for a party space on top, but they decided to go ahead with that even in the face of much protest. For the duration of the building that has gone on thus far my home has been filled with dirt. My upstairs office shakes and every time they do something with the backhoe. In the beginning of the construction of the retaining wall, they began their pile driving without an appropriate company to monitor the the vibrations. | don’t know that there was an accurate site specific environmental impact study done. Why would you think any of your neighbors would trust an amendment to your plans without having adequate time to review detailed accurate drawings of what they’re planning to change? It is unfair and inappropriate and not very neighborly or kind to ask us to just come to a meeting and protest changes that you’re going to make anyway. Karen Stapleton kindly explained to me that drawings would be available perhaps the Friday before this Tuesday meeting? Does that really give us adequate time to review what’s happening? | don’t think so. Sincerely Lauren Davis 14 Hamilton Avenue
