Project Name 193 Lake Avenue Area Variance Project Number 20250059 Project Address 193 Lake Avenue Comments Dear Zoning Committee: My husband and I live at and own 144 Middle Avenue, the property directly behind 193 Lake Avenue, whose historic barn abuts our property. 11/12/26, 7:55 AM Inbox - Mark Graham - Outlook https://outlook.cloud.microsoft/mail/inbox/id/AAQkAGIxYTcxODdiLTE4ZmUtNDdlMy05MTNlLTA4ZjY5NTFhMDAzMQAQAP%2Fb2iZDLaNIpd4Ji2Lsk3…1/2 In addition to our concerns regarding loss of property value, loss of privacy, noise, light pollution and other repercussions of having a rental structure so close to our home, I am most concerned about the potential fire precautions that would be ignored by allowing this conversion of a nearly 100 year old structure into a secondary residential dwelling. Before considering approving the request to ignore the several set-back ordinances, we ask the Zoning Committee to confirm why these ordinances were put in place originally - if any one of them is in place as a fire precaution, please consider that you put the lives of the occupants of both structures at risk, as well as the properties. This structure is 19.5 feet not from our property line, but from our house, so we greatly appreciate your very careful consideration of this situation before making a determination.
