No Belvedere Homeowner is Safe!

Dear Robert Zadnik and Irene Borba,

No Belvedere homeowner is safe!

If the developers for the proposed Mallard Pointe project are given the green light to build a 23-unit apartment building in the R-2 zone, no Belvedere homeowner is safe from a similarly massive structure sprouting up next door.

Why has no one ever asked to erect an apartment building in R-2 before? And why has no one requested to build one in the R-15 zone or one of the R-1 zones in the city – all of which, like R2 prohibit apartment buildings? The answer is simple: Most people feel obligated to follow the rules that clearly state apartment buildings and apartment courts are only allowed in areas zoned R-3 or R-3C.

As a member of BRIG and a Belvedere resident since 1984, I urge you to follow the law and reject the Mallard Pointe project.

Respectively yours,
