Retain historic character of Avenues
New residents are often surprised at how these narrow lots and the close proximity of their neighbors' houses can affect their privacy. Longtime residents, many who have lived here for decades, cherish the close relationships that develop out of the frequent interactions "imposed" by this proximity and the life-long commitment many have made to this area. The Avenues is truly a wonderful community.
We are very concerned that several of the new homes and garages being built in the Avenues are having a direct and potentially devastating impact on the very characteristics that have drawn so many of us to make such significant commitments to our neighborhood.
Presently, there is strong and growing support in the Avenues for preservation of the historic value and character of the area. On July 14, the City Council voted unanimously (7-0) to deny a prominent Salt Lake family's request to remove the historic status and protection that was impeding the sale of their home to a buyer wishing to make extensive changes. The desire to preserve the character of historic communities was also in evidence at the July 12 City Council meeting where approximately 55 members of the community urged the council to adopt stricter zoning rules in the Yalecrest area.
