Hi Judy and Kumar Thanks so much for the Monday and Tuesday night meetings on the traffic model and first pass model for Aura.  I learned a lot and heard a lot from my neighbors as well.

As a follow-up, I’d like to invite you both to a meeting we’ve arranged with local Estes Drive property owners next Tuesday April 6th at 4pm.  You’ll see my prior emails for explanation.  I’m happy to discuss with you ahead of time if that’s helpful.  Tim Carr from the YMCA, Roger Shumate from Amity UMC, Whit Rummal and Lucy Davis will all be in attendance so this will be a good time to hear about all of their future plans.  Karen Stegman helped us form the idea of bringing their group together and has graciously agreed to co-facilitate.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Hello
A group of neighbors from the Somerset neighborhood in Chapel Hill have been meeting with town council members, property owners, the YMCA and Amity UMC to express our concerns about current proposed development on Estes Drive.  We have some ideas that we believe could better facilitate future development, but believe these solutions need to be thoroughly vetted with local stakeholders.  We’d like to meet as a group to discuss the issues at hand in hopes of finding some common ground from which we can build solutions together.

Would you please check your calendars for Tuesday April 6th at 4pm and let me know if you could be available for a 1 hour Zoom call?  We’ll circulate a proposed agenda ahead of time to ensure we are good stewards of your time.  Town Council member Karen Stegman has agreed to co-facilitate this discussion with me.  We will identify a member of town staff to help us with the conversation. We’re also trying to reach the owners of other to-be-developed parcels along Estes Drive.

Thanks in advance for your time.
