Dear Mayor and City Council:
We just discovered that tonight, the Council plans to address Al Warren's request to add two
bedrooms for occupancy purposes to his property at 2334 Storm Street(Item 28), located in
SCAN.
Although we would object to substantive changes to the statute,we do support Mr. Warren's
request to allow two additional occupants in this particular case.
Mr. Warren has been a good neighbor and a responsible landlord. The fact that he refrained
from finishing the two additional bedrooms(as the occupancy limit at the time was three) shows
his commitment to following the rule of law. He knew that if the additional bedrooms were
built, it would encourage over-occupancy and he declined to do so. It seems unjust for him now
to be punished for trying to do the right thing.
We support the Council making an exception for 2334 Storm Street and allowing Mr. Warren to
add the two bedrooms along with two additional occupants.
Thank you,
Leslie Kawaler& Barbara Pleasants
