From: To: Cc: Subject: Date: Attachments: Fahnestock, Sam 6-4-25 Landmarkk Commission Agenda Item #20 Wednesday, June 4, 2025 8:59:12 PM image001.png image002.png External Email - Exercise Caution Please let the commissioners know how much we appreciate their postponement of Item #20 so that the Hancock Neighborhood Association can vote on it as requested by Mr. Bradbury, and let them know that the current applicant to demolish 607 E. 38th is the same applicant who applied to demolish it two years ago, contrary to their discussion at the meeting. I think one of the reasons he delayed his demolition was that he could not find a way to reduce the costs of moving his water and wastewater line as required by the city, who told him he had to bring the water line to the front of the property and then along 38th St. to tie into a 6-inch line---and the cost just to bring it to the front of the property was $20,000.
