Since I am out of state I wanted to respond that I am NOT in agreement with that residential property being used for anything else but residential use. No one wants to see lawn equipment, with the look of a junk yard, all around a neighboring house. I am requesting this zoning adjustment is denied to keep the property community acceptable with this residential community. Have a great week and stay safe.

A distinctive topographic variation, unique lot layout, or something that results from conditions that are unique to the property can hold standing as hardship. The hardship shall not be self-created.

I see no issue with this going forward. The attachment is in the back of the house and does not pose an issue with the traffic flow. Also this adds value to not only the house located at 1909 Dundee Drive, but to all homes in the area If you have any questions or concerns, please free to contact me at 334-398-4355. Thank-you Petra Ryan 1921 Dundee Drive Prattville, AL 36066 From:Bill Scott To:Morgan, Alisa Subject:Public Hearing concerning 1909 Dundee Drive Zoning Adjustment Date:Monday, July 13, 2020 12:48:06 PM The City set up zoning so that properties would be appropriately balanced within this community. It is my belief that the city has a 5 foot setback from the rear of individual properties. Also, this development’s covenants have standards to help maintain property values. If what is planned stays within the city’s zoning and within the covenants of this development, then I would agree with this request. However, from information that I have received, the requested variance would violate the city’s current zoning and would also violate the development’s covenants. With that in mind, I do not agree to changing the current zoning and recommend you disapprove this petition to provide an encroachment into the rear yard setback on property located at 1909 Dundee Drive. Sincerely, William Scott
