To Danville Planning Commission:
We have resided behind the Livery and Mercantile center since 1990, and are not at all
supportive of the new apartment building being proposed. I have written two letters to Mr.
Crompton since we have learned of this plan, and wish to once again express my
continuing concern regarding its size and surrounding traffic/parking issues.
Traffic/parking: When coming from/going to downtown, we drive or walk down Town and
Country Drive. At any time of day, there are parked cars all along both sides of the street
and it is often difficult to traverse. The addition of 200+ more cars will exacerbate the
traffic issue for the area, as well as complicate the driveway access points for the
remaining retail areas.
And, most likely the new residents will have more cars than the underground parking can
accommodate. I would expect that residents will be parking in the (reduced number of)
spots allocated for the remaining gym (of which I am a member) and for the surrounding
businesses and stores, in addition to on Town and Country Drive.
Height of the building: A four story apartment building will be a visual eyesore for our
neighborhood. I still believe that a two to three story building is more appropriate for the
neighborhood/surrounding area both visually and density-wise.
Plan for remaining building: I joined the original gym at the Town and Country location
when it opened (after the Vietnamese restaurant closed) and have maintained a gym
membership at each of the businesses since (Pinnacle, Bally’s, Danville Fit, Fitness 19,
etc) and wish to understand the future plan for that building. How long will it remain? Can
the proposed parking accommodate the membership and remaining businesses’ needs?

I look forward to learning how my concerns have been addressed at the February 24,
2026 meeting.
Sincerely,
