At the July 27th Allandale Executive Committee meeting the Board voted to oppose the rezoning request regarding 5513 Montview. This is a deep lot behind commercial property
on Burnet Rd. The estate of the owner is requesting that
the section of the lot close to Burnet Rd
be changed from SF-2 to CS (commercial) zoning leaving the remaining section of the lot on Montview as SF-2. You can track progress on the case at the City’s web site here. At Wednesday’s meeting, Anne Young, a resident of the area, brought
the Board current on the status of the request and summarized the
concerns of her and her neighbors. In the picture taken from Montview facing the lot, you can see the back of
the commercial building that fronts Burnet Rd. However, you cannot see
the homes that are either side of the lot.

neighbors are looking into the request by the owner to resub the lot at 6100

courtyard home on each of the two lots.
