To the Honorable Board:

 

I am writing to inform you that I completely disagree with the rezoning in an RB Zone in our city.

 

I saved up since graduating college in 2007 in order to finally purchase a 2 family house in September of 2013. My goals were to convert this 2/3 bedroom, 2 unit into a 2/2/1 3 unit, as its construction and layout make more sense for the 2nd unit to be split up.

 

PLEASE! Help people like me to keep the city beautiful and have the resources in order to make improvements to their multifamily homes in order to make the city a desirable place to live.

 

Change the maximum dwelling units in NR zone to 3.

 

Permit the Accessory Dwelling Units in owner-occupied 1,2 and 3 family homes by special permit.

 

Sincerely,

 

Kevin Walford
