[Neighbors] Neighbors_nobhill-nm Digest, Vol 155, Issue 2

[Tandi Hufnagel]

Councilor Rogers,

The details that Gary Eyster has shared from this bill are completely
unacceptable.

   - The extremely short time limit to obtain signatures of neighbors for
   appeals is virtually impossible to meet in reality.


   - The potential for legal fees incurred by neighborhoods financially
   disincentivizes people from participating in the development of their own
   neighborhood. It is a punitive measure that favors developers over the
   people who live there.


   - The complete negation of building height limits is of particular
   concern for historic neighborhoods and should be handled in a sensitive
   manner.

I oppose this bill which would likely have a large, lasting impact on my
community.

Sincerely,
Tandi Hufnagel
Hermosa Dr NE
