Re: Remington Row Project Development Plan
Dear Board,
I am delivering to you my comments regarding the above mentioned project because I am currently out
of town and unable to attend your hearing. However, I hope that you give my comments just as much
consideration as those of attendees.
I heartedly support this development. I have been a resident and property owner, in this neighborhood
for over two decades. I personally reside just a few blocks away on Mathews Street. I also own an
apartment building around the corner at 900 South College Avenue. I pass the proposed development
location dozens of times a week. The west side of the 700 block of Remington has been an eyesore for
years. I am encouraged that a plan to invest into this area has been proposed. I believe multi -family
development to be a perfect fit for this area and will serve the neighborhood well.
I understand the project will raze two older homes. I am a preservationist myself and own two local
landmark properties, The Scott Apartments and The Armstrong Hotel. It is my belief that the buildings
proposed to be demolished are not significant or unique historic structures whose loss will be
detrimental to the overall historic fabric of the neighborhood. I concur that the one structure to be
preserved should be saved and am heartened that the developer has committed to saving this building.
I believe it speaks to the developer's sensitivity to historic preservation in our neighborhood.
Thank you for hearing my comments regarding this project. I trust you will make a fair and positive
decision regarding this project.
