To the members of the planning board:
 
Unfortunately, I have a conflict, and am not able to attend the meeting on Wednesday, 10/26.  I 
did look at the new proposed plan, and have a few concerns:
 
- it does seem like there is still an awful lot of student housing, including noise, late-night 
activity, etc. that comes with that;
 
- there is still a fairly large amount of student housing close to the Faculty Road neighborhood;
 
- the buildings still seem very big for Durham; and
 
- can delivery trucks and firetrucks really navigate the right turn at the back corner of Rite Aid?
 
It is an improvement over the last plan, but there are still concerns!
 
Thank you,
Maura Slavin
