Dear City Commissioners,
I am writing to oppose amending the City Zoning Map from R-4 to B-3 on 0.70 acres at the
southwest corner of the intersection of N. Willson Avenue and E. Villard Street. I believe we have
zoning for a reason and such amendments undermine the original intentions of such zoning.
I live in the Northeast Neighborhood and have grave concerns about the massive structures that
are being approved and pushing residents out. I chose this neighborhood because of its human
scale architecture and historic character. I find it so sad to see that three homes are for sale on
Willson Ave between Peach and Villard where the new giant homes are being built on the former
trailer park site - coincidence? This shows that people in this neighborhood feel the need to flee
from this type of development further underlining the inappropriateness of such development.
Additionally, I take issue with this sentence from Chris Saunders' report where he discusses
public comment received, "A single comment with 13 signatures representing eight properties…”
To present an organized, collective comment as a “single comment” is concerning and I hope you
will respectfully consider the 13 signatures as 13 people who took the time to make their concerns
known on this particular issue.
Please confirm receipt of this email so I know it will be considered before your meeting on the night of
Sept. 3rd.
Thank you,
Angela Kociolek
