Buildings more than 15 years old remain the scourge of the neighborhood and this one will soon be gone.
The last house facing Lee Park will soon be gone.
What about all those oak trees covering the property? Don’t worry, they’ll be gone, too. Who needs stinkin’ trees messing up a park?
A zoning change will allow a 10-story building to replace the house. That’s because there isn’t enough traffic around Lee Park and there are too many old trees.
The house, built in 1940, is valued at $714,000 and is owned by Poston Real Estate and Poston Capital Corp.
Hopefully, the city will get the message that old stuff and trees just aren’t compatible with modern city living, and they’ll sell off Lee Park to put in some beautiful high-rise condos and more luxury offices.
Outraged? Contact the Board of Adjustment at 214-670-4206 regarding case number BDA 134-094, the request to rezone the front and side yard of 3409 Hall St. Even if the house at 3407 Hall St. has already been rezoned, developers can’t put up a 10-story building without the rest of the property.
Preservation Dallas holds a public forum at the Erik Jonnson Central Library, 1515 Young St. on Thursday, Oct. 16 at 6 p.m. Free including free parking in the underground lot accessed on Wood Street.
