We the undersigned support Freeland Historic District in the retention of every house in this unique district and oppose any plans to demolish any historic home in the district. We oppose Jack Preston Wood’s plan to demolish the home at 536 Granberry, re-plat the land into two 25 ft. wide lots, and construct two 4- story architecturally incompatible structures.
The undersigned are also petitioning the City of Houston Planning Commission to deny any future request to re-plat due to a portion of the land being located in the 100 year flood plain thus making it undevelopable space.
Seeing this kind of momentum confirms that I am not the only one who refuses to watch our neighborhood's history get erased. I grew up playing on these streets and watching this level of support gather around our community feels incredibly personal.

4-story structures? In this neighborhood? That is just ridiculous and totally ruins the look of the whole street. Keep it historical.

It is in a flood plain for a reason! Dont let them build there just to make a quick buck. Greed is ruining our neighborhoods.

Total disaster waiting to happen if they try to build on that flood plain. Listen to the neighbors who actually live here.

Please stop this. My grandparents grew up on Granberry and it is one of the only places left with any real history in this city. Leave it alone.

Those houses are beautiful and have been there forever. Nobody wants those tiny ugly modern lots in the middle of our history.
