Gaudette, Angela From: Sent: To: Subject: Deron Miller Monday, August 17, 2020 8:02 AM PAZ Preservation Public Hearing: Historic Landmark Commission - Angela Gaudette > *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Case Number: HR 20‐098345 ‐ 809 E 9th Street Contact: Angela Gaudette Public Hearing: August 24th, 2020 Angela: My name is Deron Miller. I live at 800 Embassy Drive. Respectfully, the location of this Proposed tower right next to a historic landmark and stuffed in the backyard of that landmark site and up against another mid‐rise on the side of a hill up against I‐35 is truly negligent to the true spirit of the zoning and historic landmark laws. This is jamming a building in and using the special laws given to affordable living buildings to a fault. There are even zoning rules that have been breached and waivers given. This seems to be an attempt to make money for a family that has ties to the politicians in this district. While I support affordable living in our great city, there are plenty of places that this can be accomplished around town in a better way. This project is just not right. I implore you to please go physically walk the site and I am sure you will agree.

I do not not believe that the mid‐rise building should be built adjacent to the historic house. The site is not appropriate for the structure based on lot size, topography of the site and constricted emergency access to the site and surrending properties.
