LET’S FIX 750 N. EDINBURGH!!A proposal to turn the dilapidated corner of Edinburgh and Waring into something good for our neighborhood.
> The removal of four shabby, crumbling bungalows at the corner of Edinburgh at Waring.> New owners who are committed to improving the property and the neighborhood.> Appropriately scaled to remain consistent with the neighborhood’s character.> Bringing the parking up to code and taking cars off the street.
A handful of individuals, largely people who don’t live anywhere close to the neighborhood, are trying to stop the rehabilitation of this corner because they don’t want to see the site rehabilitated. They are using an obscure City process called historic designation to try to stop the
rehabilitation of the site. If the bungalows are “designated1, it makes it much harder to improve the neighborhood. If this occurs the existing bungalows, which are a blight on the neighborhood, could remain for years, maybe even decades, bringing the neighborhood down.
Let’s oppose the historic designation and support a new, modest andaesthetically pleasing project at this site!
By signing the petition below I agree that I want a new project at 750 N. Edinburgh and I oppose the historic designation of tho site.

From: Corey Hanker o)r>@fortBspartner5.ccrtlSubject. 750 Edinburgh

Paul,I am the owner of the property at 802 N. Laurel - roughly 30 yards from the Edinburgh property in question. I am concerned that the building's demo was halted to save it for historic status. That structure is anything but historic It is a neighborhood eye sore and nas zero architectural integrity or merit. In fact, the buildings were mass produced, from a factory kit. I can not understand how any city official views this otherwise. I am sending this quick email to state on the record that as a neighbor I am hopeful that a developer can go in there and take on this project, enhance the beauty of the neighborhood and properly develop that parcel of land.Best,Corey

We are the neighbors of THE HISTORIC BUNGALOW COURTS at 750-756 1/2 Edinburgh Ave, who are aovt,rating for hi: tone preservation and conscious development. We have gathered over 200 signatures and 91 letters from people who live and wot* in neighborhood in support of
SAVING the unique character of the neighborhood from indiscriminate oversized development,
THE CITY HAS VOTED WITH US!On November 59th, The Cultural Heritage Commission, which is comprised of 5 experts in the fields of architecture and historic preservation voted 5 - 0 in favor of designating 750-756 112 a Cultural Historic Monument. Our
own city councilman Paul Koretz came to speak out in support.
While the building has been neglected by the owners, it remains intact, and in September 2015 was judged fully habitable by the los Angeles
Housing and Community Investment Department,
d-d
THE DEVELOPER'S PLAN: .... " ■ 'is.
The developers, Matthew .Jacobs and Guy Penini, evicted the tenants using the Ellis Act and planned to demolish the 8 rent stabilized units to
build a luxury small lot subdivision (Townhouses)-with each unit selling for well over a million dollars.
Matthew Jacobs lives *in" the community but his interests are not "of” the community. You decide. He and his team ea, e ignored recommendations by the community and Mid City West Neighborhood Council, Mathew Jacobs has aggressively attempted to use questionable
tactics to demolish the property while also ignoring community concerns. ’Despite his efforts, the CITY continues to stand in opposition to the project!
Matthew Jacob's development on Crescent Heights near Romaine, "Bentobox 5" is a Small Lot Subdivision towering over it's neitmbors If we stay silent, the historic Edinburgh Bungalow Court will be replaced with a 'Bentobox 8” I His mode! thus far destroys historic buildings and evict
tenants to support generic, out-of-scale and unaffordable housing.
WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HKI .P
Please email and call Councibnember Paul Koretz and tell him you support the designation of the Edinburgh Bungalow tout t as monument and are interested in saving the integrity of our beautiful neighborhood: coupe.... f orQ pm
