Re: Appeal #21706 for Use Variance

2901 Cottman Ave. - Variance for a Three Family Home

Date: Wed. April 1, 2014 9:30AM

Applicant: Thomas Citro

Dear Ms. Chapman

Please accept this letter on behalf of the Mayfair Civic Association (“MCA”) which represents the neighbors of the Mayfair Community as a letter of Opposition. On March 24, 2014, we held a community meeting on this proposed variance to a three family home at 7PM at 2990 St. Vincent St. Questions were raised by the members of our organization with respect to lack of floor plans, nonshoveling of snow around the perimeter of this corner property amongst other issues such as the community’s interest in maintaining single family homes rather than conversion/legalization to triplexes. The Community took a vote which resulted in Twenty-Six Opposed and Three Not Opposed with Provisos.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at the number below.

Very Truly Yours,

Joseph J. DeFelice, Esq.

Legal Counsel (215) 292-3926
