Mayor and members of city council:
I am writing to express my support of the proposed project at the corner of Nelson Hackett Boulevard and South Street.
Please vote against the requested appeal of the Planning Commission approval.
This is a thoughtful project that would provide much-needed housing near the center of our city. The proposed project is
on a unique site created when Nelson Hackett Boulevard was unceremoniously cut through the historic city street grid in
the 1950s. All of the requested variances are reasonable and necessary for developing this land to its highest and best
use - any project will likely need at least the four variances this project is asking for.
Our city is currently dealing with a housing crisis—as declared by this very city council—and providing urban infill housing
like this project is necessary to accommodate our population growth responsibly. Is this project perfect? No, but we can't
let perfect be the enemy of good. Please deny this appeal.
Thank you,
Nick Thorn, AIA
