Comments Comments I live next door to the site. I am concerned about the
scale of the project, including a second two-story residence

no grass on the property, and I am concerned about drainage
to my yard. I have attached a photo of what the yard looks like
after heavy rain, which is already a problem. The present
owners already have two large cars and a golf cart, and with an
additional house on the site, I assume there would be two more
cars, making a total of five cars parking about a foot from my
windows. For some years the property was in use as an Airbnb,
and the rowdy renters caused many police visits to this
property and much disturbance to me and other neighbors in
the middle of the night. When I bought my house 11 years ago,
I was told by the city in no uncertain terms that I could not
renovate to rent the small one-bedroom apartment over my
garage due to the ordinance against these auxiliary rentals. I
hope the city isn’t now going to approve this huge complex, half
of which will be used as a rental. I have no objection to the
owner putting in a pool and addition to his home, but I hope I
am not going to have to live next to Motel 6.
