<br /> "This is in regards to the parcel of property located at th9 southeast corner of Maryland
<br />Avenue and Detroit Street in Port Norfolk, owned by Mr. Raymond Smith, which is on the ~genda
<br />of the City Council for rezoning from construction of a duplex apartment to a multiple family
<br />apartment. I object to this proposal. On December 4, 1979, at the City Planners meeting,
<br />this property was rezoned for a duplex apartment, to which I have no objection.
<br />
<br /> My home is next to this property and there are twenty apartments located south of my
<br />property. Should a multiple family unit be c~nstructed on Mr. Smith's property it would exten¢
<br />out approximately ten feet beyond the front of my home, the same as the apartments located soutt
<br />my property and my home will be blocked in on both sides by apartments.
<br />
<br /> A multiple family apartment will lower the value of property in this neighborhood and
<br />create more of a parking and traffic problem than now exists.
<br />
<br /> The request for rezon]ng this property for a multiple fami'ly apartment was disapproved by
<br />the City Planners at their meeting on May 6, 1980. Signed by Arthur W. Stephenson, 405 Marylam
<br />Avenue." ·
