/f The rear yards have a varying setback of eight to 10 feet, where the 15 feet is the minimum required Zoning Code Section 2-542 F.). The planned development will request exceptions to these minimum requirements listed in the Zoning Code. Elmer: Well that would seem to cover it all. So nQ matter if the Garden Terrace and Arbor Place share a border line and its uses conflict; the weight of right and exception will be bestowed upon the new arriver at the expense of the already existing residence owner. How pathetically sad and unfair and I guess American it is. A backyard brought in real close to a lot of front windows and it is all legal by the book as it is written and re written to aid even when a standard lot is involved. This is a disgrace!! It means zone only protects the well heeled or some such. To decide on the whim of rather than zone protections what will be or not be and taking no Considerations of what 8 feet to a front room floor to ceiling window will feel like and effect life of those who look through them at Arbor Places backs. I don't think this is good civics and I don't believe it will be good for the Garden Terrace community in the long run or the neighbor hood in general down the line. The city admits the shortage of RM land and the need to encourage higher densities and affordable homes yet it by intention and design will do just the opposite and allow extreme exceptions considering juxtaposed lines of use and purpose; take not only our views (85% of them) but our sense of open space and lastly remove the very fac;ade from the perpetrators view as if to forget what they have done. This project is going to make bad blood for everyone. The site is better served with higher density for many reasons and anything that is built to my front room and that means 25' as I read zone or in the purist truth as the lines are used and conflicting 35'. Obviously I don't think anything like 8' or 6' is going to make me feel As handled fairly by any stretch. I STILL HAVEN'T RECEIVED YOUR EXPLAINTION OF WHY THE R7 DATA IS ALL REFERRING TO ORDINANCE OF 1969. THE GARDEN TERRACE WAS BUILD IN 1964 AND COMPLETED ON AUGUST 18.1965. CAN I SEE THE CODE AS WRITTEN AND UNDERSTOOD WITH CLEAR INDICATION THAT IT IS NOT WRITTEN 5 YEARS SUBSIQUENTL Y? THANK YOU? PLEASE FORWARD TO COMMITTEE'S CHAIR. THANK you. LESTER WILLIAMS A higher ratio of renter to owner will surely effect GT owners capacity to sell units except if the carry the loan themselves and if certain government supported programs become use to assure - rent to the now absentee landlord. I thing the whole process will be negative upon the GT and surely heartless by all who participate in this railroading I am taking here.. It is all double code and double standard and doesn't take the city plan consideration
