Four other members of the public, including Linda Farmer, Ming Lee, Ed Broome, and Bernie Wilson spoke. With the exception of Mr. Wilson, who ultimately stated his support for the project, all other members of the public expressed concerns similar to those of the Johnsons and Mr. Wittig. Mr. Broome also expressed concerns related to the completeness of the application; that the project was out of scale with the neighborhood in terms of bedroom count; that the project was incongruous with the intent of the PMC to protect the health, safety and general welfare of the residents; the character of the occupants within the residence; and indicated that the project would continue a pattern of negativity in neighborhood.
