Ted Shepard & Whomever Else This May Concern,
Hello, I am a neighbor of O'dell Brewing Company; I can see their
building from the window in my front room. I recently attended a
meeting that detailed their plans to expand their building and decrease
the buffer from 80 feet to 40 feet between their development and the
neighborhood. I am writing to say that I think their plans would
enhance the neighborhood and the planned screen would greatly improve
3rd St. They have been a very nice neighbor to have and I think that
their request for a variance should be accepted. I do not anticipate
any detrimental impact on the neighborhood from their purposed remodel
or reduced buffer zone. The remodel may actually help decrease the
number of people parking around in the neighborhood (although this has
not been much of an issue in my opinion). Concerning the request for a
new driveway on the West side, I think that it would actually be more
safe than the present situation, as cars could exit more quickly off of
Lincoln than is often presently possible, due to decreased congestion in
the new parking lot on the West side of O'dell's building.
O'dell has great beer, a nice business and are wanting to build an
attractive building. I think whatever the city can do to help them with
their plans would be a good investment in the community, enhance the
Buckingham neighborhood and help reduce some of the congestion on
Lincoln St.
Thank you,
Theadora B'ey
