Re: 1723 N University
Dear Mr. Lawson;
Enjoyed meeting you briefly before last month's Planning Commission Meeting. My
application was deferred until Feb. 4. In an effort to present a clear and complete picture
to the commissioners, I have assembled information that they might review before the
upcoming hearing.
It is our plan to have a small office (2 to 3 people) at this location. The structure will not
be changed, the residential appearance will be retained and enhanced, Superior
maintenance and curb appeal will be a top priority for the property and for the existing
rock wall on the University side. Traffic will increase little, if any, over that created by a
residence. Low landscaping between the alley and proposed parking, with a defined
entrance into the parking space, will greatly improve this highly visible alley.
In canvassing the neighborhood, the response is overwhelmingly in favor of having a quiet
office on this corner. Enclosed you will find a copy of a letter from John Jones who owns
and occupies the property next door. We also have on file with Brian the support of 43
individuals and 3 neighborhood groups. You will find a map marked with green dots
showing supporters in the immediate area. Other signatures and letters are from the
Normandy and Heights -Hillcrest Additions.
Thank you for looking over this information. Hope it will be helpful to the commissioners
to have it prior to the hearing.
Cordially,
Mary Jane Bailey
