I am writing to express my strongest opposition to the demolition and three story construction proposal

for the backyard property belonging to 2313 Green Street.

My husband and I are the property owners of 2315 Greet St., a single family home attached to 2313

Green Street. It has been our home for 41 years.

I strongly urge the Commission members to visit the site and to understand firsthand the impact this

construction will have on us and the surrounding neighbors before coming to a final decision. The blue

prints provided do not genuinely represent the existing surroundings.

The one lane driveway provides egress to the five condominiums in Wallace Place, 2313 Wallace St.

garage and 2315 Wallace Street garage. It is unclear to us how construction of a major project will impact

this common, rather limited easement.

The project creates more density and does not provide adequate parking, which is always at a premium.

Finally, there is absolutely nothing aesthetically pleasing about the structure. It’s as though a large

helicopter is going to drop a three story commercial container in the backyard, maximizing and

overbuilding the site. Other than the front façade being somewhat attractive from Wallace Street,the rest

of the structure does not hold up to the standard which the Philadelphia Historic Society strives to

preserve.

Kindly give consideration to my suggestion to visit the site. I am eager to give you access to my

backyard so you can visualize from all directions how this is going to negatively impact the existing

structures and neighbors.

Sincerely,
