Currently I'm an owner of the house which was built more than <br />100 years ago in 1916 in Mount Carmel area. <br />We bought our house in this neighborhood because Mt Carmel is very unique: a lot of old Craftsman houses <br />with a great architecture, detached garages, tree -lined streets. <br />We paid high premium for the neighborhood, but this historic area provides a lot of energy to our family. <br />We fully support Mt. Carmel Historical Study and Residential Design Review and potential of establishing a <br />Mt. Carmel historic district. We would like to support and preserve neighborhood character. <br />Too often in the last years different developers bought unique houses just to replace them with 2 -story <br />monster and sell for a max profit. Two unique and well kept houses on Iris and Fulton street are going to be <br />destroyed, because this study and design review wasn't initiated before. We should create rules to encourage <br />owners to preserve house, instead of developers to capitalize on neighborhood charm by destroying it. <br />I hope reason why we bought our house will still be valid 20 years from now and Mt Carmel still will be very <br />special on a peninsula. By establishing historic district thanks to Mills Act owners might save on property <br />taxes and get access to funds to maintain and restore houses like mine. <br />Thanks a lot, <br />r�11�rj]"Gl <br />
