community that would be this aggressive from the standpoint of development and density;he does not believe that it
suits the neighborhood at all;he does not wish to move this any further until the developer takes a long look at the
density and the height.
Trustee Glover is a little concerned about the density and the lack of green space;she is concerned about the private
street,which has been discouraged in recent past;she is also concerned about the setback when Route 22 is widened.
Trustee Berman stated that this needs work;it is far too dense;he believes it lacks amenities that would allow for
additional density;he is concerned about the narrow and private streets;he believe this presents a very difficult
proposal for the Board to move forward;he would like to see the developer continue with the project,but he would
like them to revisit the density before moving forward.

off of aesthetics for density.
