A different building with a setback and a narrower top might have less of an impact. |
I'm aware of that law and what I was trying to say is that there could be a tall building put there, that when combined with good design, could be both tall and not affect the public gardens. It would just mean that the upper portions of the building would have to be narrow, so as to not cast that much shadow on the public gardens.
