~ The Campana Factory is NOT a suitable location for ANY type of residential dwelling.
~ Evergreen Real Estate Group is asking for too many variances to move this project forward.
~ The high-traffic count at the corner of Rte. 31 & Fabyan Pkwy is already a major safety concern.
~ Campana Building has a walkscore of 24 (Car dependant) With it's low walkability and dangerous location residents would have few (if any) available amenities.
~The parking entrances are also of concern with close proximity to traffic signals that back up, particularly with morning and evening traffic.
~ A school bus is not able to pick children up at this location. Evergreen has proposed buying a "van" to transport children to school, which in itself is segregation.
~ The most significant change that Evergreen would like to make to the exterior of building is adding a "row" of windows underneath the glass block along the front facade that will let some light in, however these windows do not provide much ventilation and do not open enough to allow escape during an emergency.
~ All units are to have one Entrance/Exit door and NO access to outdoor space (like a patio door.) If there were a fire, residents would have only one way out of their unit and into the common hallway.
We, the residents of Batavia & Geneva, call on the Mayor of Batavia & Batavia City Council to vote "No" to the Redevelopment Proposal by Evergreen Real Estate at the Campana Location.
