Re: proposed redevelopment, 205 W. Main Street
The redevelopment plan for 205 W. Main totally baffles me. When my wife and I bought a historic
Victorian in the West End and restored it, HPC would not allow us to move it one inch from its
original siting on our (large) 9000 square foot lot. Moreover, our architects took seriously the
provision the our new-build guest house should be deferential to the historic home and respectful in
scale and designed it accordingly. Relocating the 205 W. Main Victorian and constructing large
buildings by it should not be approved, even with the admirable intent of creating more affordable
housing units. The redevelopment plan as delineated, collectively, is fatally flawed in my opinion.
Perhaps a significant downsizing could be attempted to address these concerns.
Thank you for your consideration.
PS Our project received the 25th Anniversary Best Renovation Project from HPC.
