I affirm my support for the construction of a new, one and one-half story home at 2016 North Van Buren Street. I have no objection to the razing of the current home and a 15’ reduction of the right-of-way on this property to allow a new home to be built in line with the house to the north. I believe a new 2400 sf home built in a style similar to the one depicted here will add value to the neighborhood and enhance the overall beauty of the area.
