My name is Sarah Hikel. My husband Mark have owned a home I in Madison Tower since 2006. Our living room, kitchen, master bedroom and bathroom face the alley between Madison Tower and the site of the Former Federal Reserve Bank. While we realize the cityscape is ever changing we're hopeful that the design committee will take the following list of concerns into consideration: Safety livability The proposal does not appear to take the narrow/undersized alley between Madison Tower and the new tower into consideration. The variety of services required of a large building, particularly a multi-use building must be carefully considered in conjunction with pedestrian, cyclist and driver safety of residents, employees, and service providers. In addition to the ease of access by emergency services providers and the impact of a mass emergency evacuation. Air light and privacy While we're extremely concerned with the privacy of our home, we're equally concerned about facing an unsightly wall. It's critical to us that you not only consider our privacy but that whatever portions of the building face the alleyway are appealing and allow natural light and airflow. There should also be nighttime lighting considerations. The potential of bright nighttime light shining into homes especially from only 15 feet away would prove disruptive and unhealthy. Mass and scale bulk and form The current renderings do not include the west to east view of the building. Additionally, the new tower seems to be way out of scale within the surroundings. Historic status issues It seems that this design review meeting is premature considering that the Seattle Landmarks Preservation Board has not yet weighed in the landmark status of 1015 Second Avenue. This builder has clearly undermined the spirit of the historical building preservation designation of the Federal Reserve building. The deception is blatant. Respectfully, Sarah Hikel
