UPDATE ON MANDATORY LANDMARK LAW

In a recent article in the Suburbanite, the EHOA was falsely accused of giving misinformation in its News Bulletin by Will Lee, a political appointee to the Historical Advisory Committee. We stand 100 percent on the information that was printed which is exclusively based on the 21 page proposed ordinance by the Historical Advisory Committee. The EHOA will have a special mailing of an 8 page letter written by a former member of the Historical Advisory Committee who studied the proposed ordinance line by line and is totally against it. The city council tabled any decision on the proposed street signs replacement program creating historical districts and streetscapes. Numerous homeowners opposed these street signs on the basis they are misleading and paid for by public funds.

On the survey that was included in our last issue 367 homeowners responded. Six homeowners agreed that something should be done to preserve the character of our neighborhoods. Three out of the six homeowners made reference to change the building code as it stands today on each side of the home. We agree that it could be about 25 feet between the sides of each home, because it will create more green space and it will save trees.
