FYI. This proposal has been "rubberstamped" so far in the process, and the developers have seasoned, specific, one-sided influencing claims that have been submitted with their application. You may also be an influencer.

Subject: RINO Zoning: 25th Lawrence ST-27th Lawrence ST: Rezoning Application Case 2021I-00175

Hello,

My wife and I are homeowners at the 3-story residence at 2585 Lawrence Street. I wish to express our opposition to the requested subject zoning change application.

The existing 3-story zoning for the proposed Larimer/Lawrence Street development between 25th and 27th streets should be maintained. The advantages claimed for the development by the applicant will be just as effective with a 3-story limit, and they would have significantly less adverse impact on the immediate and surrounding areas including residential, historic, and business areas. Seventy-five percent (75%) of the immediate surrounding area is controlled by existing 3-story height limitation. The historic and extensive Curtis Park area is south and east and it, like the immediate adjacent streets, would also have adverse impact related to pedestrian and vehicle congestion, parking, and view.

Lower ground level elevations of the existing 5-story buildings to the north and west  and the business enterprise of them greatly reduce the adverse impact from a greater than 3-story limitation to the subject area and the additional areas south and east of the proposed development. The immediate area to the south and east are at the same relative ground level elevation as Larimer Street.

It is our position that the neighbors to the proposed development, and the greater community surrounding that extent, will be better protected and served by a Planning Board limitation to 3-story development.

Thank you,

Cal Crawley
