Leslie Mendez From: Sent: To: Subject: Joseph Hernan Tuesday, September 13, 2005 2:15 PM Leslie Mendez Comments on proposed plan for 4546 Second Street Dear Ms. Mende Z I Having seen the proposed plans submitted by Mr, Boyce for his property at 4546 Second Street, I would like to take this opportunity to voice my concern that the proposed project would have significant negative impact on the Second Street neighborhood and on Mr. Boyce's immediate neighbors. My general concern is that the property would simply be overbuilt, I feel that the proposed floor area ratio of 60%, the height of both the addition to the existing house and that of the new accessory structure, and the proximity of such large structures to the immediate neighbors, will all result in a property that is out-af-scale for its location and out of character with the Second Street neighborhood, I am also concerned that these structures will be large enough to blend visually with Findley Boags house, creating the look and feel of very dense development that will appear clearly out of place in the neighborhood, , Additionally, I am very concerned that by approving the proposed plan the City will be setting a precedent that will result in future overbuilding in the downtown area. I feel that it is in the best interest of the community that the City does not set such a precedent, so as to ensure that future development is in keeping with neighborhood character. For these reasons I respectfully urge the City to not allow the requested variances, sincerely, Joseph Hernan 4582 Second Street 1
