Gaudette, Angela From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Paula Kothmann Sunday, October 25, 2020 11:56 AM PAZ Preservation Paula Kothmann Item D10 910 W Elizabeth Street *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dear Commissioners: I respectfully ask that this home be removed from the consent agenda to allow neighbors to provide input. I am a property owner in the Bouldin neighborhood. The loss of this home would be the loss of a likely relatively affordable home or rental, thus would impact the economic diversity of this neighborhood. Perhaps there are some rehabilitation options that would be a win/win for the new owner and the neighborhood. I will be attending a conference next week to learn more about preservation and equity. I would be happy to share any relevant information with the new owner if they wish to explore options to preserve at least part of the home. The public permit search reveals little about Joseph Builder's plans for the home. Since they have built other homes in Bouldin, it would be good to know if they have been a good neighbor in the past. Please postpone this property until your next meeting.
