While this appl~cation is being considered there are #our homes on our b~ock of Georgina that are undergoing re~ovat~on. All four of t~ese propertEes are ma~ntaining the ambiance and character of the community. 4ur street and the neighboring streets are an asset ta ~he entire city. Although we obv~ously have a personai interest in preserv~ng the historic nature of our street, we fee! that the community at large en~oys and appreciates Georgina Avenue. We have s~ven children, they have all attended and still do attend Santa Monica schools, it rs important to o~r fam~ly ~hat Santa Mor~ica not become Manhattan. Allow, please for or~e part of town to have some air between the aufld~ngs. Our house was b~ilt ir~ 1906. Generations have ber~efitted from it's architecturai her~tage and tF~e streets beauty. We hope that you will allow future generat~ons that same pleasure. Thank you.

The w~dth of the street, a~ong with the sizc of it's lots, giv~s it a Iook that cannot be dupGcated. We ~ave been informed tha[ ther+e ~s an apphcatian to ~iv:de the parcel at SU2 Georgina into two separate tots of appmaimately SO foot widths respectivcly. While this may be a way ta profitably BXPI41[ t}1lS ~iCCC Df 1~11~, it d~minishes ihe imiqueness tEtat tC~is street has to offer, and an idcmtiry that Santa Monica takes pride in ~reserving.
