My grandma and grandpa built on this cul-de-sac after WWII, and now my cousin lives in the house. She told me last night that there is a guy going around and buying up all the houses as they come available and renovating them. That's perfect fine and welcome. But what he's been doing since July is building casitas (mother-in-law additions) in the backyards of each house. They are 2 bed/2 bath little places and he attempts to cut the driveway into the backyard for access. This street never had enough parking as it is, and it will surely get worse in the future. What will this do to property values? What is your opinion of this type of development? Personally, I don't like it. Neither does anyone in my family. Just wanted to get an unbiased perspective.
Here are a couple of tree permits for 912 Philco. Each one has a different view of the layout of the lot and addition.
