Frank,
Ok.  Thanks for letting me know.  Well, the Zoning Code states that there is to be one parking space per unit.  There are 92 units, so unless I'm missing something, it looks like they're provided more than they are required.  I also heard other concerns about the project, but wanted to provide the BB with the reasons why it would be supported and to gather whether the issues were serious enough to not support it.  We'll see what others say.  I can see both sides of the coin, and will wait to see if there is enough consensus to support as a Bike Board.  

Thanks for the reply.

I do not have time right now to give this sufficient review.  I don't think 101 bike parking spaces for 368 residents even meets the bicycle parking code that the BB wrote and the city implemented.  I understand this project has other serious issues that we should understand before supporting it.

Bike Board Members, 

At the last meeting I was asked/volunteered to write a support letter on behalf of the BB for the potential Campus Acquisitions development that is being proposed on the VFW Property at 494 Spruce Street.

I need you to:
1. Read the letter and determine if it's ok to support the project on behalf of the Bike Board
2. Review for any content issues
3. Since we have no Chairman, who should sign it?
4. Let me know prior to 5pm, if possible. 

There is a Planning Commission meeting tonight that I'd love to have it sent prior to.  If there are serious concerns though, I can hold off as long as we get it there soon.  There is also a May 21st meeting, and I plan to deliver a copy prior to that as well.  These are being sent to Chris Fletcher, Morgantown Director of Development Services and Stacy Hollar, Executive Secretary. 

I've also attached a copy of the plans for the project and the

Thanks,
