Hello,
I am writing to address the proposed structure going up at 2221 N. Heliotrope. I am in strong
opposition to granting a variance for the 23+ structure to be constructed at this home.
I am concerned it will deter from the historic value and history of the home. Additionally, past
actions of the owners have been brought to my attention that give me cause for concern.
Several years ago they requested to change the style/roof line on the home (from flat to
pitched) that would have marred its historical value and appearance (the Historic Resources
Commission denied the request.) Subsequent changes made to the roof - after the
Commision's denial - were neither properly permitted nor matched the building's architectural
style resulting in the city filing misdemeanor charges and a conflict with the Historic Resources
Commision. They also replaced the home's original steel case windows in secret doing so while
the home was tented for fumigation seeking variance approval after the fact.
Lastly, although I have found the homeowners to be a lovely couple, I am concerned that they
may be headed in the direction that previous homeowners in my last neighborhood took with
their home. It was turned into a temple where they have services every Sunday in a residential
neighborhood and cars are parked up and down the street every week. This all took place
without permits.
I have included photos of the home in my previous neighborhood.
Sincerely,
Denise A. Silva
