RE: R1 TO R2 Rezoning of Parcel 2L - Estate Bakkero

Dear Senate President Potter:



a) My name is Michael Hancock



b) Attorney Rosh D Alger is assisting me in this matter and I would like him to represent

me acting as my agent in this matter



c) Please mail all correspondence to my attention at: PO BOX 600342 St. Thomas, VI

00801



d) The legal physical address of the property in question is 2L Estate Bakkero No 5

Frenchmans Bay Quarter, St. Thomas, United States Virgin Islands consisting of 25,654

square feet or 0.59 acre (the “Property”) and



e) I would like to rezone the Property from R1 to R2.



Please consider the following comments for my proposal:

The properties that are on the North, South, and West sides of Parcel 2L are all zoned R3.



A few years ago, the property to the north of 2L, Parcel 2A-Remainder, was rezoned from R1

residential to R3 Resort/Hotel, which has a much greater impact on the existing neighborhood.



The requested Rezoning of Parcel 2L, from R1 to R2 Zoning, would have a negligible impact on

the community and the immediate neighbors, and would follow the previously approved quarter

and third acre subdivision of Parcel 2Q. (See attached, approved site plan for 2Q2-2Q7)



The only adjacent property remaining as R1, Parcel 2F, which is to the East of 2L, would not be

affected at all. The view from 2F, the distance between the existing house on 2L, and the

existing house on 2F, would not change.



The only change to Parcel 2L’s existing zoning restrictions, would be the minimum lot size of 2

acre. All height, setback, and residential usage restrictions would remain.



Only the lot size of Parcel 2L would be changed to 1/4 and 1/3 acre, to mirror what was previously

approved on Parcel 2Q.
