Box 1007 Pacific Grove, Calif. 93950 Planning Commissioners City Hall Pacific Grove, CA 93950 Re: Carriage House (310/312 12th St.) Dear Commissioners: I am writing to argue against the granting of any variances for the Carriage House project located at 310-312 12th Street as currently proposed. The Carriage House was recently saved from demolition when the Heritage Society and City officials (Tony Lobay and Dale Foley) met with the owner and determined that the structure had historical and architectural signi ficance and should be preserved in the neighborhood. It was suggested that the Carriage House be incorporated into the design of the entire project. Several ideas were offered as to how it might be done while still retaining the identity and character of the structure. The proposed design strips away the identity of the Carriage House and effectively removes the architectural character associated with the structure. Variances are a wonderful incentive to offer owners when extra effort is required to work with historically or architecturally significant structures. I do not feel such variances should be granted when rtc, effort has been made to restore or enhance (or even respect!) the historic or architectural character of a structure.
