C.3. HR-2021-115725, 1104 Toyath My name is Mary Reed and I am speaking on behalf of the Clarksville Community Development Corporation (CCDC) as its board president. We object to the plans for the new home Paradisa Homes wants to build at 1104 Toyath because it’s incompatible with other homes on the street and with the mass and scale of traditional Clarksville architecture. Aside from the board and batten siding, Paradisa seems to have assumed that the kind of home it builds in other neighborhoods, mostly non-historic neighborhoods from what we can tell by visiting the company’s website, would be appropriate for Clarksville. Paradisa Homes also appears to have overlooked the impact of their home’s height on its neighbors and especially on the Lawson House, the landmarked home next door. It will loom over that house. Furthermore, the roof deck ensures that the next door neighbors on Toyath as well as several neighbors in the 1800 block of West 11th whose backyards abut the back yard of 1104, will lose their privacy. We would like Paradisa go back to the drawing board and design a home more fitting for Clarksville and for the 1100 block of Toyath in particular. Thank you.
