The Community Development Services Department also found no significance to the existing structures. Demolition was requested under Demolition Review Ordinance 1860. The property is zoned SF-A. Future development would require compatibility review. No fiscal impact is projected from this project. Public comments were submitted.

Subject: House on Grant
Dear Lety.
I’ve lived in old Alamo Heights for 45 years and I want the Board of Directors know that I am totally against Lisa Nichols
demolishing the house on Grant. The very reason people want to live in Alamo Heights is because we respect the older
houses. The entire feeling in Alamo Heights is being destroyed by the awful large houses built of manufactured stone
and plastic shingles. You may advise the appropriate people in your office of my adamant concern over the
architectural look in old Alamo Heights. I will send in my comment card. Thank you for all that you do to make Alamo
Heights better. I
My best,
Carol Lee Kiose
