COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
After reviewing the new & improved plans for 323 Grand Ave., we are very pleased with the modifications made. On
first glance, the unit that has the driveway backing out onto Grand Ave. gave us some concern considering the amount &
speed of traffic on that street. But on further review, we felt that most of these occupants will be walking to classes &
not backing out of this driveway at the busiest times of the day. The Alta Vista Neighborhood along with the Monterey
Heights Neighborhood appealed this project in its original form because of the impact it would have on the surrounding
neighborhood plus the density of so many occupants in one area. Our appeal was heard by the City Council &
supported. This shows that the process works. The present plans are much improved & far more compatible to the
existing neighborhood of older homes. We commend the developer for coming back with plans for housing that utilize
the 2 lots without impacting the area in the manner that was first purposed.
