This community has been our family home throughout my careeras a Professor at the
Georgetown University School of Medicine. While we have had many opportunities to
move from this community (local as well as national), the unique nature of the Garrett
Park-White Flint community has been a deciding factor in my family's decision to
remain in the neighborhood. It has been and continues to be a great place to live and
raise a family. Now we face a very serious threat to our community.
The point of this all too lengthy introduction is to express my extreme disappointment
that the staff report did not include any language addressingthe White Flint SectorPlan's
compatibility with existing neighborhoods. I would urge you to be certainthat,
"compatibility with existing neighborhoods" be a priority in the Plan. Jay Hanse~,
President of our Citizen's Association, has written to Margaret Rifkin urging
consideration that "compatibility with existing neighborhoods" be added as a 5thdiscrete
section in the staff report citing details of our t.oncems. Without addressingthe
compatibility with existing neighborhoods iss1Jle, the plan could deliver an extremely
serious blow to our community. I strongly urge you to prevent that from happening.
Thank you for your attention.
