B.7.b - 1910 Maple Ave - Citizen Communication — original pdf

Backup

Dear Historic Landmark Commission, My name is Connie Kirk and I am the next door neighbor to 1910 Maple Ave. My family’s home is 1908 Maple Ave. I have been a long time resident of the area and was friends with the original owner, Mabel Jones. The informal history is that the house was sold by Mabel’s granddaughter to a development company based in San Antonio. These developers treated the property poorly. They damaged the roof, tore out sheetrocks, leveled the home, replaced the windows with ill-fitting vinyl, etc. They hired unlicensed contractors from San Antonio. I filed several complaints against them with the City Code Inspectors and the Police. I am glad the home has been purchased by a family who will be moving into it rather than flippers. I support Ryan and Nicole’s remodel and appreciate that they are committed to restoring the mid-century character in-line with the historic district standards. Sincerely, Connie Kirk
