The City Council has gone too far and is out of control. Behind my house, the council approved a four-story apartment that contains 24 apartments, 21 of which are micro apartments.
The lot is small and narrow. In 2015 an eight-unit condo project was rejected because it did not follow urban and historic guidelines, nor did it meet necessary setbacks. This project does not meet any of those, yet it was approved. Setbacks were waived, and it will be built on property lines.
The adjacent properties have three buildings, two of which are single-story homes already on the property lines. The Architectural Board of Review waived the requirement for story poles. They have not addressed any of the surrounding residents' objections. We sent letters and emails to the ABR, City Council, and mayor with no response.
