I humbly request that this project be considered with the utmost care. The applicant is hoping to obtain subdivision approval without consideration by the Zoning Board of Appeals despite the fact that the proposed development does not meet the setback or bulk requirements for the district. I believe that all aspects of this project should be vetted and the appropriate requirements laid out by all three boards before approval can be made to subdivide. As for the specifics of the project, I hope that the architectural components as well as the setbacks of these proposed homes be carefully examined. I believe it is inappropriate to place the proposed home on the corner of Regent/Park to be any closer to the road than the required setback. I believe it will look grossly out of place given the setbacks of the other three existing structures at this corner. I would also request that the street light on Regent be omitted from the project. There are not other streetlights on the street, and this one would be right across from the bedroom windows of myself and my tenant. Due to my home being in the historic district I am not able to change my windows in such a way that I would be able to put up shades appropriate to darken my room from this light. It is unneccesary and will only cause distruption to the neighbors. Views of both my home at 105 Regent Street as well as the views of the historic home at 21 Park Place will be taken away forever by this project, I hope that this board can assist in alleviating that impact.
