Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Attn: San Fahnestock I am writing to express my support for the proposed demolition of the property located at 2600 E Martin Luther King. . As a property owner at 2503 E MLK], I believe that the removal of this structure would greatly benefit our community for several reasons: 1. Safety Concerns : The current state of the building poses significant safety risks to the neighborhood. It has become a site for illegal activities, and its dilapidated condition could lead to accidents or injuries. 2. Aesthetic and Property Values : The property detracts from the aesthetic appeal of our neighborhood. Demolition would not only improve the visual environment but potentially increase property values for surrounding homes by removing an eyesore. 3. Urban Development : The demolition would open up opportunities for new development or green space, which could revitalize the area. This could align with broader urban planning goals such as increasing community spaces or supporting new housing projects. 4. Health and Environmental Issues : There might be health hazards associated with the current state of the building, such as mold, pests, or asbestos. Demolition would address these issues, ensuring a healthier environment for residents. 5. Community Sentiment : From discussions within the community, there seems to be a general consensus that this property should be removed. This move would be in line with the community's wishes for a cleaner, safer, and more vibrant neighborhood. Please consider this letter as my formal endorsement for the demolition of the property at 2600 E Martin Luther King Jr. BLVD. I would appreciate being kept informed about the decision and any public meetings where this matter will be discussed. Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to seeing positive changes in our community. Sincerely, Lynn Morris Lynden Communities LLC 512-698-2129 CAUTION: This is an EXTERNAL email.
