Carried 5-0. 6. LEE ANNETT - HOUSEMOVING FROM SEC. 32 TO TABLYN PARK 2ND ADD': Mr. Annett explained his proposal and reviewed his remodeling plans. He also indicated that theowner of the house has agreed to wait until -the frost --is out of the groundbeforerequiring Mr. Annett.to_move�the horse; Thiswill avoid having the house stordd on Mr. Annett's lot in Tablyn Park until he can begin work on the foundation. Mr. Annett took exception to the statement that the house may not compare to other homes in the area, stating the design is a matter of taste and after the proposed remodeling is complete it should be very compatible. All the work has been contracted out and, depending on the weather, the entire project should be completed -in 3-4 months. Audience Comments: --John Fitzenbergenk, 8830 27th St. Ct. N - spokesman for the surrounding residents. - Would rather not see the home moved into the area - not compatible with the surrounding homes. Acknowledge that City may not have solid legal grounds to deny request, therefore, residents would like: 1. Assurances that the improvements proposed to be made to the house are completed. 2. See the impact of this to the neighborhood to be negative - would like to see this negative impact minimized. 3. Urge the City to react in a positive way by developing a method or plan to assure that Mr. Annett holds to his representations as to improvements, and to make sure that the improvements are not superficial. 4. Would like to see the finished house look as aesthetically pleasing as possible - most of the homes 3 years old - do not want to see this house look like a 19 year old move -in. --William Hooper, 8820 27th St. Ct. N. - do not want this interpreted as a personal attack or vendetta. Moved into a"new area and expected new homes - important to stress that Mr. Annett is in this for an investment and not as a home for himself. Personally plan to put alot of time into own home and property to bring it up to a personal standard - this does not take 2,3, or 4 months, it is an ongoing thing. Hope can look at the home afterwards and be pleased with its appearance and feel that it does not detract from the rest of the homes. --Patrick Dahedl - 8850 27th St. Ct. N. - concurs with what has been previously said. Would hope, should this get approved, that this would not set a precedence in the neighborhood and open the possibility that additional lots would be purchased for the same purpose. Hope the improvements will be made and will not set a precedence for a form of investment for other people in the area to follow.
