We purchased 1734 Anglers Plaza in 2015 and approximately 1 year later renovated it. A neighbor informed us at the end of 2016 that 1724 was potentially for sale. At that time,the trees needed significant maintenance and both residences had been rented on a continual basis during our ownership of 1734. Based on financial analysis, it seemed to be a solid financial investment with the added bonus of improving the appearance of the lot adjacent to our primary residence. We purchased the property in January 2017 with an appraisal for a purchase price of$330,000. We had lived in the neighborhood,and viewed other properties that were other than single-family properties on the same lot. Specifically,there are apartments at 1715 Chris Craft and duplexes at 510&514 Redbud Lane. Additionally,there is a mobile home lot close to the Gaylord. We had the appraisal,title search and home inspections performed. We believed everything was in order. Subsequent to the initial purchase of the property,we have painted, improved the landscaping and driveways, and spent $13,2232 on removing and maintenance on the trees. We only have one before picture of the 1 bedroom house, but you can view that multiple trees have been removed. In February 2020,after requesting an appraisal for the refinance of the 1724 Anglers Plaza,we received the violation notice referred to in#4 based upon the appraiser calling to ask a question about the zoning. We are on good terms with our neighbors, and there have been no complaints(to our knowledge)from our neighbors. The appraiser did provide an appraisal for only one property,the 2- bedroom house,with a value of$280,000. It would be a significant loss of value for us if we were not able to maintain the additional structure as a 1-bedroom house. We did not make the unpermitted changes, and to our knowledge,the property has been like this for at least 35 years without enforcement. After we received the notice of violation and had further discussions with Ron Stambaugh,we researched a few of the issues that he brought to our attention: • Mr.Stambaugh mentioned that there was no record of a permit for the electric meter. We contacted Oncor,and received an e-mail that this meter#was first installed in 2009, but that they show that this address 1724 lot A has had electric service since their records go back to January 1, 1971. The representative told me on the phone that when they replaced the meter they would not have needed a permit. This e-mail is provided. • We received a notarized statement from our neighbor, Gwen Patterson,who has resided at 1733 Silverside from 1985. She states that the building has not been a garage since she has owned her property. This is provided. • We received a notarized statement from our neighbor, Coella Heerman,who has resided at 1714 Anglers Plaza. She states that the structure was used as an office and then a residence since at least 1977, and that it was not a garage for as long as she has come to the neighborhood.
