I am president of its board of directors. We oppose the request of Paradisa Homes to demolish 1104 Toyath Street (Case # HR 21‐029755) because the house contributes to the Clarksville NRHD. Also, the house that Paradisa intends to build in its place is architecturally inappropriate for Clarksville. This case is Three members of the CCDC board of directors met with Luis Zaragoza with Paradisa Homes this past Tuesday to discuss a possible way to retain the house as a contributing structure. Our conversation was positive and as a next step, one of those board members ‐‐ an architect ‐‐ will meet with several Pardisa staffers next Wednesday at the company's office. I also put Luis in touch with Elizabeth Brummett so he could find out how much of 1104 Toyath can be removed without affecting its historically contributing status. Therefore, the CCDC would like you to delay any decision on Paradisa Homes' request to demolish 1104 Toyath until after the meeting next takes place next Wednesday and we have a clearer sense of what Paradisa wants to do. Thanks for your consideration of this request. Mary Reed MR•PR Austin, TX 78703 512 657 5289 Be Kind "I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear."
