We write to ask your help in supporting an effort to preserve the character of our beautiful Woodmont Boulevard corridor.
A developer currently owns the property located at 3625 Woodmont Boulevard, corner of Grayswood Ave. and Woodmont, and is planning to demolish one home and build 6 narrow homes in its place (see diagram below). All of the homes would face Woodmont, and be approximately 16 feet wide.
This property is located in the old Woodmont corridor that was originally developed in the 1930s-40s. There are mature trees, larger lawns, and an appropriate lot size per single family home. What is being proposed is a dramatic deviation from the defining character of our neighborhood. If this development moves forward, it would reduce the lot frontage down to one sixth of its original size, and could set a dangerous precedent for the future of our established area.
The Wimbledon to Woodmont Neighborhood Association has been at work for over a year, trying to prevent this from happening. We do support smart growth and redevelopment for the future of our neighborhood and city. We do support neighbors who wish to renovate their homes and improve their home values. We do not support development that only serves to maximize profit for one.
We are going before the Board of Zoning Appeals this week and we need your help.
Please sign this petition showing your opposition to this proposal of 6 homes. We need your signature as soon as possible, preferably by tomorrow, Monday April 12 at noon. The absolute latest date to submit your signature is Wed. April 15.

I do not want any more "new" homes in the area that are inconsistent with the look and feel of the community. The four that popped up on Kenner Avenue up the street are UNDESIRABLE and inconsistent with the neighborhood. Just because you can cram more homes onto a single lot does NOT mean you should!
I object to the number of houses on the property. Two on a lot is bad enough but this cramming of 6 houses on a lot is a bad precedent that will only lead to a destruction of the feel, look and uniqueness of the Green Hills area.
This proposal is irresponsible. The contractor for the property at Woodmont and Estes has been so thoughtful and appropriate for the area. The proposal at 3625 is irresponsible
We oppose the planned development at 3625 Woodmont Blvd. We have lived on Cantrell Ave.Around the corner from this plan for 41 years and would like to preserve the character of this beautiful residential area.
I lived a few blocks from 3625 Woodmont Blvd. for 10 years, so I know this neighborhood well. Putting up 6 shotgun houses would ruin the character of that stretch of Woodmont.
never change it!!
Live on Valley Brook. We need much more intelligent planning than this.

Let's support thoughtful investments in our community and not greedy developers throwing up cheap housing to make a quick buck. The rest of us have to live with that! Grew up on Grayswood and would hate to see this happen.
