Promenade Developer Meeting April 10th

The MIP developers (Ron Withrow and Kimberly Young) will be meeting with area residents at
7 pm at Holly Hunter Baptist Church on April 10, 2008.

Everyone is welcome to attend. Councilman James Mitchell is also expected to attend
The purpose of this meeting is to:

1. Go over the proposed changes to the Chastain Parc buffer zone
2. Discuss further the housing specs for the apartments and town-homes going into MIP
3. Defend their request for a second big box retailer which would basically destroy the "village retail" concept that was a part of the original 2006 re-zoning.
4. Overlook's position consistently requests that the housing be not entry level and that no second big box is acceptable as there can be no assurance whatsoever what retailer will go in there.
5. We are also working with CDOT to address the planned light at Overlook Mountain Drive and the safety of the intersection of Chastain Parc and MHH.
6. We are also talking to NCDOT to promote an earlier opening of the Oakdale intersection with I485.
7. Please plan to attend.

We need to come to this meeting & show our support for our MI neighborhoods accessability, traffic concerns & to keep this a wonderful place to live.

We want answers to what type of development is really going to be built!!!

Keeping you informed.

Patricia Vanek, Overlook
