Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Dear Sam, I'm reaching out regarding the Notice of Public Hearing National Register Historic District for review case #HR 24-072700 taking place tomorrow. My husband and I live in the house directly next door, 705 E. Monroe. While neutral about the proposed ADU, we observe that a critical piece of information is missing: a site plan which reflects the proposed ADU and its relationship/spacing to the existing home on the property and surrounding property lines and the street. We have standard concerns about potential negative impacts to surrounding homes. In particular, we note that the land being proposed for the ADU slants downhill to the northwest. Our property / home sits directly downhill, so we are concerned about drainage, as well as safe asbestos management (the architecture description notes the likelihood of asbestos in the 2-story structure). We appreciate the opportunity to provide this feedback, and your service to our community! If you have any questions or guidance, please let me know. Kind regards, Ann Saxton Darcy 705 E.
