Re: application for Paul Page Dwellings
As a resident of the neighborhood south of 1 -630 at 1509 Louisiana, which is
only a few blocks away form the proposed development, I am writing to say I am
in favor of approval of this project.
I am out of town or I would be present today to express my support. The project
as revised meets all of the concerns I heard expressed at the last commission
meeting when this application was presented. It also does an excellent job
architecturally interpreting the historic nature of our neighborhood. The recent
Urban Design Plan for this area, which was adopted by the Southside Main
Street Board and approved in a presentation to the City Board recommends this
type of development for this area south of 1-630.
Please approve it and allow construction to begin. We need new housing badly
in this neighborhood and economic development like this in the downtown in
general.
