To the Honorable City Council:
I saw that Tim Talun has been nominated to join the Planning Board. I want to express my delight at this nomination and my hope that you will approve him for this position. I have known Tim for many years and worked with him on advocacy issues around Union Square redevelopment. I have found him to be adept at using his professional understanding of a plan, drawing, or written explanation and then translating it into something people without his training can understand. He is fair, thoughtful, and calm. On more occasions than I can count, he has looked at a proposed project and been able to articulately and quickly come up with changes that would increase green space, improve the site lines, access, and the way it fits into the surrounding area. He can talk the talk with developers, draw up visuals, and understand the zoning behind it all. His intelligence and experience will make a wonderful addition to the Planning Board and I look forward to his approval by your committee.
Warmly,
Renée Scott
