Dear Mr. Shepard,
I have reviewed the staff recommendations and while wishing to re -state my general concerns
regarding this project, I still most strenuously object to the waiver of off -site parking
requirements. Although I can understand that 2 spaces may seem an appropriate compromise, it
does NOT pre-empt the Pandora box issue of precedence. Many of us own and operate rental
properties in the Eastside neighborhood. Planning has not yielded to several of our neighbors'
request for off site parking waivers. I myself have opted not to convert a single family dwelling
in order to preserve the character of the property.
If the precedence of waiver is set, the anticipated outcome is the citing of that precedent in more
requested waivers. The off -site parking standard requirement is and should remain a clear
bright line which preserves the livability of our neighborhood and serves as a restraint for
unfettered conversion of single family dwellings.
It would seem too, that the developer, having succeeded in receiving special consideration on
this issue in the initial request, would have no reason to expect any different outcome if such
waiver is requested to convert the new dwelling to multi -unit in the future.
Sincerely,
Karyl Ting
