Thank you for your response. Had the letter I received explained that a pool and hot tub were what was
being built I would not have had any objection. I respectfully withdraw my objection to the variance.

Subject: Z-9549 - 2909 N. Pierce - Variance Application
Ms. Miller, this note acknowledges receipt of your 12/13/2020 email expressing opposition to the
variance requested by the above-mentioned applicant. Your email has been forwarded for consideration
by the Board of Adjustment at its hearing today, 12/17/20.
To clarify, the subject application proposes a swimming pool and hot tub in the rear yard. With this
application, no structure(s) other than the relatively flat pool/terrace is proposed. No additional
structure or building is proposed within 6 feet of an adjacent residence.
The City Code offers no limit to the amount of paved surface (ie, patio, terrace, basketball or tennis
court, etc.,) therefore the interpretation consistently applied by the City relating to pools and pool decks
is applied similarly to the other forms of paving the code allows by right and requiring no variance.
I hope this addresses some or all your concern pertaining to this application. Thank you for your interest
and participation in the City process.

Subject: Z-9549 Home Located on 2909 N. Pierce requesting a variance
In reference to the zoning request for the home at 2909 N. Pierce Street.
Please deny the request. The Heights Neighborhood is being destroyed by homes that are too big for
the lot. The house in question covers all of the lot and to add more structures would degrade the
property even more. Why would you allow a property to be located less than 6 feet from another home
,and violate your own zoning ordinance, which was put into place to protect the integrity of
neighborhoods.
The planning commission continues to allow builders and developers to obtain variances throughout the
city especially in the Heights. You are destroying the quality of life which we have fought to maintain for
75 years.
