I have included details on each of these points below, as well as attachments covering: (A) Current Front Yard Structures on Mound Trail and (B) Commission decisions on Residential Variance Requests from 2005 - present. In summary, I respectfully request the Commission: Modify the 1421 Mound Trail variance request to: o Exclude the outdoor covered patio, as was done for the 1313 Mound Trail variance in 2021. o Limit the size of the proposed structure to comply with the Zoning Code and lessen impact to the essential character of the locality. Deny in its entirety any swimming pool/deck/fence built between the main structure and the street I understand we are relative newcomers to the neighborhood and community, and there are deep personal and professional relationships with interest in this project's approval. However, we also understand the Commission will act in accordance with the Code and State Statute in its evaluation as it has done in the past. Please let me know if you have any questions. I would also like some information on time allotment to speak at the 5/6/25 hearing (should I be able to attend) and details on the appeal process/timing should this variance request be approved by the Commission. Judging by the presence of various parties, including the City, in our yard this week marking various lines for the "garage and pool," it appears the applicant believes the Public Hearing is a formality. I trust that is not the case. We will be out of town frequently in the coming weeks/months; however I plan to be an active participant in this process, though it may be remotely. Thank you for your consideration and the preservation of our beautiful community.
