To Whom it may concern,
Please keep this truly unique stone house. Of all the old homes in Redondo on this list, this one really stands out. I believe the city should buy this house for all citizens to enjoy. It's a no brainer Currently being attached to publicly owned land. Or at the very least, move the home on to the grey belt and let the owner sell the property.

Subject: Public Comment regarding appeal for 2501 Curtis CAUTION: Email is from an external source; Stop, Look, and Think before opening attachments or links.
To whom it may concern,
This is a public comment regarding the demolition of 2501 Curtis.
I'm in favor of allowing the current owners to demolish 2501 Curtis. It is one of many eyesores in the North Redondo community that my family is compelled to look at every day. Allow the current owners to move on. My understanding is that it is considered a city historical landmark. If it's so important, why is the city not coming in to assist in maintaining the property or holding the current owners responsible for maintenance? Why does it look like a dilapidated haunted house out of a horror movie? If it's important, why does the city allow it to crumble? Perhaps I'm architecturally ignorant, but this property does not appear to have any significance (besides maybe the architect themself).
Architectural taste changes with time, please allow our neighborhood to move on and progress. Don't hold us to the architectural standards and tastes of the 1930s. - Ismael Nawfal (2416 Voorhees Unit A)

Re: Preservation Commmission Meeting Oct. 4, 2022 at 6PM. My name is Linda Flynn and I own the property south of Spence property at 2501 Curtis Ave. Redondo Bch, Ca. 90278. I am making note of the fact that my property at 2504 Phelan Ln. Redondo Bch. Ca. 90278 extends past my fence to the south. I am sorry I do not have the exact dimensions at this time but only want to put this information out for future reference. I have no interest in the demolishing of the building at 2501 Curtis Ave. Redondo Beach, Ca. 90278 as I believe that is the business of the Spence family. Thank you. L. Flynn
