Dear Mr. Olt,
This is in re to the request by Wendell and Jeani Marsee to further develop their property at
1320 Southridge Drive by constructing an attached 2-car garage with a separate living unit
above.
As neighbors to the north of this property, we are opposed to the living unit, but have no
objection to the 2-car garage. It is quite common for householders on corner lots to construct
garages behind their houses which are accessed from the side street. The living unit is
another matter. This would be moving the neighborhood in a direction which we don't want
it to go: multi -story buildings, re -zoning from low density to high density, more autos parked
in the street, more traffic, more shade on our garden, and more of all the things which occur
when population density increases.
Hopefully, the city is not going to allow them to do this to us. We had our home custom built
and have lived in it for over 30 years. This is the first attempt that we're aware of to move
the neighborhood toward high density housing, and we hope that it fails.
Sincerely,
a es E. Is and
Gi;��iL
