Attached please find:  the first page of my contract of sale of 907 East 13th Street to Eureka. This shows that the other company name is simply a holding company, as this contract is the one we closed on and the property has not been sold to anyone else since.  a rendering by Jamie Chioco's architecture firm for 907 East 13th. This rendering shows that we had planned to build a LOT of new construction behind the current front two rooms, the historically significant 1 part, without the public even being able to see the construction behind the historic front. The whole back portion would be hidden from sight from the front! These plans were approved by the city, and we had our construction permits, and were about to break ground when I changed my mind. .... So this plan to add new construction behind the historic part was approved already. .... It can be done easily! I'm copying my neighbor Polina on this email to keep her in the loop. I have many stories to share about the block, and it's history that I learned from Deloria Grant who lived across the street from me for 70 years. Would you like me to share my stories here by email, or share them in person at the meeting February? Would they be helpful to you before the hearing? I very much appreciate your help on this, and look forward to hearing from you. With love and light, 909 East 13th Street CAUTION: This is an EXTERNAL email.
