Brummett, Elizabeth From: Sent: To: Subject: Jan Slagter Friday, April 23, 2021 4:37 PM PAZ Preservation 1816, W 11th Street historic case number PR-21-046417 *** External Email ‐ Exercise Caution *** Good morning Ms Brummett, Firstly I would like to thank you for your time and for the information you gave me about the redevelopment of the above property. Please disregard the form I mailed in giving my support to the project, this was before I’d seen the actual plans. I was given to believe from Mr Carillo the contractor that it was just a single family dwelling, with pool and garage, it’s obviously a lot more. I have no issue with the current small home on the lot being demolished and a larger home being built, my concern is with 3 two story building being squeezed on to a long thin lot. Looking at the plans I have to say my first thought was it looked like a compound not a home. One of the many joys of living in historic Clarksville is the wide variety of smaller to medium sized homes, with trees and gardens. I would hate to see us lose this with the building of much larger homes. Please lets not repeat the Mcmasions of Tarrytown. Thank you for letting me have my say.

I think this current design is going to take away from the character and history of Clarksville. Not one portion of the build pays homage to Clarksville or its architectural history. The plans appear to be just another modern farm house on a million dollar lot. The size and design change the quaint inviting characteristics of Clarksville which is stark contrast to the house of one of the founding families of this neighborhood which stood for over 50 years in that location.

Considering the size and scope of the bldgs for the lot size, it doesn’t appear to be anything resembling historic. Rather, Clarksville appears to be a neighborhood evolving similar to what is in progress in Tarrytown. With this and several other slated lot changes, Clarksville may soon need to reconsider the ‘historic’ nature of the community. It simply is not going to retain that construct.
