Unfortunately I have had to go out of town unexpectedly and won't be able to attend. Could you please add the following to be included in the discussion? Please let me know you received it and will be included. Thanks, Abbey 713-444-0272 To Whom It May Concern, My name is Abbey Ames and I live at 508 Texas Ave, which backs up to 509 E 38th Street. I oppose the proposal for code variance as they have created this conflict with their drawn subdivision plans. Ultimately, I am concerned how this plan would allow them to easily subdivide the lot into a north and south lot. By doing so, the house they intend to build (on south lot) will be closer to my property line and backyard. There have been some drawings of the current property that indicate trees in "poor health" (on the southernmost property line). I am concerned that, in order to build a house on the proposed southern lot, they will seek to eliminate such tree. They do not appear sick to my untrained eye and I know the city does a wonderful job protecting trees, but I am concerned it will continue to decrease the privacy and charm of neighborhood. I spoke with applicant who said they avoid tearing down trees, but I'm not sure how they can build a house on the south lot without removing some of the existing trees. Lastly, With the lots not facing 38th, there will be increased parked cars & therefore traffic on Liberty Street, which can already get congested. I recognize the lot can be subdivided. Though I believe their proposed plans will negatively impact my home's value and privacy, which is why I am opposed to the code variance.
