A Lafayette homeowner and M3 committee member raised concern about corner surface parking lots, using the Roundup as an example of how corner lots with parking hurt the pedestrian experience downtown.

Backed Mr. Hudson and asked the Council to make the standards as strict as possible, since developers can waive them — 'make them earn it.'

Urged the Council to preserve Lafayette's semi-rural character by capping single-pane windows at six square feet, cutting glazing to 30% or less, and banning shed roofs — warning that bad buildings can't be fixed once built.

Urged the commission to fix four items before sending to council: remove butterfly and shed roofs, cut the single-pane window limit from 18 sq ft, and reduce total glazing from 45% to a lower number, citing examples like Byron Park and 210 Lafayette Circle.

Donated her comment time to Elliot Hudson, echoed his concerns, criticized state housing mandates as a 'fraud,' and asked the commission to make his requested changes before sending the draft to council.

Urged the Council to stop delaying the design standards, praised the flat-roof ban, and flagged three flaws: butterfly/shed roofs, oversized single-pane windows, and a 45% glazing allowance.

Said the standards are years late, that wrong buildings 'will never come down,' and supported the bifurcation option.
