I strongly encourage you to review my two aJachments in advance of my hearing. As you know, my property is not going to be demolished, but instead relocated. And not just relocated, but fully restored by the new owners. The future owner's story is compelling and I applaud their vision for the house. I believe you will feel the same aaer reading their leJer addressed to you. The house, as it sits, is in great need of rehabilitaGon. I've aJached a review from Green Earth Engineering (structural engineer) regarding the current state of the dwelling. It's in very bad shape structurally. The enGre 1100 sq a house is racking to the south, the foundaGon is haphazardly cobbled together from unpermiJed and /or non-compliant foundaGon work, and the roof structural framing is completely inadequate by today's standards. When you walk into the house, the floor is rolling +/- 4 " and the walls are out of plumb by over 2" in some places with only an 8" ceiling. To put it bluntly, it's a hot mess. I truly believe that Dawson and Leanne Clark are the best of all possible candidates for this property. Not only do they plan to fully restore and live in the structure, but they also plan to create a stone coJage garden around the property. I think Mr. Pinkney will be proud to see the end result of all their love and hard work. -- Respecmully, Mark Canada CAUTION: This email was received at the City of AusGn, from an EXTERNAL source.
