ATTACHMENT 3 Bello, Michael ATTACHMENT 3 Bello, Michael From: Jen Legge <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, October 29, 2015 11:53 PM To: Bello, Michael Subject: Johnson Property Dear Mr. Bello: I am a member of the Potomac Chase / Fox Hills community near Jones Lane Elementary. My children attend Jones Lane Elementary School, but will be attending Quince Orchard High School in just a few years. After reading about the proposal for the annexation of the Johnson's property by the City of Gaithersburg and plans to create a residential development of 180 new homes (condos, townhouses, single family), I am writing to say I am against this proposal for the following reasons: 1. It is my understanding that since 1971, municipalities are precluded from offering zoning as an incentive to annexation. The proposal for the Johnson property is at a substantially higher density than authorized by existing county zoning. 2. The public schools in the area including Quince Orchard High School are overcrowded and the community has been dealing with capacity issues for years. 3. Congestion at the intersection of Route 28 and Quince Orchard Road is already dangerous - there are traffic issues and safety concerns as our children cross the street. Addressing traffic concerns would be the County’s responsibility as Route 28 is not in the City’s jurisdiction. 4. The proposal had very little green space and was rejected by the County for traffic and school capacity reasons and the County recommended park area instead. Thank you for your time and consideration in not approving this proposal. Sincerely, Jennifer Legge 12733 Triple Crown Road 1 ATTACHMENT 3 Bello, Michael From: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, October 29, 2015 11:53 PM To: Bello, Michael Cc: [email protected] Subject: Development at Quince Orchard and Darnestown Roads Dear Mr. Bello, I want to register my strong opposition to the proposed new development mentioned above. The population density proposed is extremely high and would change the nature of our community. Our current system of small business malls and separate, low‐level housing is preferable. We do not need these massive projects. They are unpleasant to shop in and do not provide the more relaxed housing patterns we currently enjoy. If we wanted urban density we would move to D.C. where there are more cultural amenities than exist in concrete condo megaliths. What you are proposing is a lifeless desert. Why? Who profits? Sarah Fulton Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world: indeed, it's the only thing that ever has. ‐Margaret Mead 2 ATTACHMENT 3 Bello, Michael From: Dee Weiss <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, October 29, 2015 11:52 PM To: Bello, Michael Subject: input on johnson property I do not think it is a good idea to build high rises and such there. It is a good corner and does not need further development. Thanks, Dee Weiss 301‐980‐0518 3 ATTACHMENT 3 Bello, Michael From: Monica Spurgeon <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, October 29, 2015 11:48 PM To: Bello, Michael Subject: Please Say No to Annexation and Expansion Dear Mr. Bello, I am a resident of North Potomac near Jones Lane Elementary School. My children attend Jones Lane ES, Ridgeview Middle School and eventually will go to Quince Orchard High School. I am deeply concerned about the proposed annexation and redevelopment of the Johnson property off of Route 28/Darnestown Road by the City of Gaithersburg. Please do not approve the proposal to add 180 new houses behind Safeway. The Quince Orchard cluster is already overcrowded, the intersections of Route 28 & Quince Orchard Road, as well as at Route 28 & Riffle Ford Road are already overwhelmed with congestion. And there are safety issues for the children who cross near the high school. Please do not make a hasty decision without delving deeper into the critical situation. There has been no review of how this will affect our schools, the immediate surrounding areas, and the traffic congestion. The persons trying to develop this land are circumventing the county and going straight to the city for an expedited approval. Please do not approve a proposal that was already rejected by the County because of traffic and school capacity issues. I ask you to take a step back and please say No to the proposal. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Monica Spurgeon 12504 Shoemaker Way 4 ATTACHMENT 3 Bello, Michael From: Rhea Karavangelos <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, October 29, 2015 11:45 PM To: Bello, Michael Subject: "The Gateway" Good evening Mr. Bello, I would like to request that the proposed "Gateway" community be evaluated for its impact on traffic around QO and where would all of the additional students go. The plan the interim Superintendent just submitted certainly does not include plans to have an additional students from the additional 180 homes. Have you ever taught a class in a portable classroom? Have you had your child receive their education in a portable classroom? Please have a plan for where all of these students will go before building. Thank you, Rhea Karavangelos Thurgood Marshall Elementary School Parent 5 ATTACHMENT 3 Bello, Michael From: Becky Krimstein <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, October 29, 2015 11:41 PM To: Bello, Michael Subject: Proposed Development in Quince Orchard Dear Michael, I am writing to ask that you do whatever you can to stop the proposed development in Quince Orchard that is said to include a 6 story building with 180 housing units, within a stone's throw of QO high School and Ridgeview Middle School. I have lived in the area for 20 years and have watched as the area has grown beyond capacity. As a mom who is worried about the safety of her son, I am very concerned of what this could mean in the future as kids walk to and from QO. The congestion in rush hour now is unbelievable, and 180 new housing units could devastate the area with the traffic it would bring especially in an area where kids walk to and from school. If it would help for me to send you a video of the traffic in the area at rush hour, I would be happy to do that. As a citizen of the area, I am happy to do whatever I can to help stop this prosed development in our area. Thanks, Becky Krimstein (301)325‐6428 Sent from my iPhone 6 ATTACHMENT 3 Bello, Michael From: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, October 29, 2015 11:40 PM To: Bello, Michael Subject: Development of our neighborhood Dear Mr. Bello, I just read of the plans for changing the zoning rules for the Quince Orchard/Rte. 28 location. I am not in favor of this happening. This location is currently a traffic nightmare at many times during the day. With the addition of more cars on our already crowded roads, movement through this location will be prohibitive. With this increase traffic, the safety of our HS students who are often pedestrians on these roads, will be in jeopardy. One only needs to experience this location during a week's time to understand the enormity of this decision. Football games, Quince Orchard staff and students, cars moving north of Route 28, and the general neighborhood traffic is just about tolerable now. We do NOT need more development in this area. Please do not allow this to happen. This would absolutely cause me to re‐evaluate my residency in Montgomery County. I have been a resident for 48 years and am a teacher in MCPS. People's voices are rarely heard over the power and money of developers in MY county. Please hear our voice now, do not allow this to happen! Respectfully, Carol Knoblach Sent from my iPad 7 ATTACHMENT 3 Bello, Michael From: Mark O'Connor <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, October 29, 2015 11:33 PM To: Bello, Michael Subject: Johnson Property Mr. Bellow, I am writing to express my concern about building out the Johnson property in Gaithersburg off of Route 28, near Quince Orchard High School. Adding 180 dwellings to an already overcrowded area will present many challenges to both Quince Orchard High School as well as he surrounding infrastructure. Creating a situation where an entire community will be walkers to QOHS is unsafe and just compounds an already overcrowded situation at QO. Adding homes in an area that is already highly congested will obviously make the area even more congested. Needless to say, I vehemently disapprove of this action. The county should pursue one of its earlier plans of making this a park area.

I work at the shoe store five days next week, I have exactly one day to get this bastard nailed to the wall... Everything has to click just right for me to get this catalog written, printed, mailed, delivered, and for you to get your checks in the mail and back to Corvallis before I leave town. It’s gonna create a very insane mailorder tsunami—it should be fun! I’ll do my part and get this to you by the 20th at the very latest. Please remember: you’ve gotta get your bix to me by May 30, if you wanna see your stuff fast rather than in early July... That means your envelope has to be in Corvallis by May 30. Hike! Okay, new release... First one out the gate is MP-515 THE PROMS Helpless Romatic. This one released on May 6, 1999 and the initial reac- tion to the album has been very, very positive. That sort of response from pop-punk fans is kinda a “no duh” to me, I knew this album kicked ass from the first time I heard the tape. It is gratifying to hear nice words none- theless. It’s quite a tremendous album when you get right down to it: awe- some songwriting, huge RAMONESy guitar riffs, and delightful deep har- monies akin to a very fine barbershop quartet.

  • Jamian Juliano-Villani: Very Very Visceral
    Farr, Kristin. Jamian Juliano-Villani: very very visceral. Juxtapoz Magazine. March 28, 2017. Jamian Juliano-Villani: very very visceral “Being conscious of fucking up assassinates creativity,” declares Jamian Juliano-Villani, a pow- erful force who charges into unknown territory. Her painting process is maniacal, she’s hungry for data, voraciously reading, watching and absorbing stimulation, then filtering it through her mind and hand and into dynamic paintings that provoke weird feelings and intriguing confusion. Backed by the bright light of a projector, she beams countless layers of imagery onto the canvas to render a storified collage of in- formation. Through an obsessive absorption of visual culture, she has gained an ency- clopedic knowledge of obscure, provocative facts that inform her work—her own world of fiction inspired by truth. Her work is unusual, her place in our future history is already carved out, and she’s about to get crunk. Kristin Farr: What are some fascinating facts you’ve learned or obsessed about in your search for source material? Jamian Juliano-Villani: I just recently watched E.T. again. Turns out Steven Spielberg built the set ten feet above the ground so the actor playing E.T. was never seen by the other child actors, which means they actually thought that E.T. was a real alien, and Spielberg specifically filmed the movie in chronological order to get a genuine emotional response from the child actors. Also, insanely, the actor that plays E.T. was, in reality, a 12-year-old born without legs who would perfect E.T.’s waddle since he was experienced with walking on his hands.

A move consists of moving a token across an edge of the matching color to an unoccupied vertex and reversing the orientation of that edge. The goal is to move a token across a target edge. We show that it is PSPACE-complete to determine whether a particular target edge can be moved across through a sequence of Oriented Subway Shuffle moves. We show how this can be interpreted in the context of the motion-planning-through-gadgets framework, thus showing PSPACE-completeness of certain motion planning problems. In contrast, we show that polynomial time suffices to determine whether a particular token canever move.
