Probably not warranted, but if a homeowner wants to encumber their own property then that's on them. That's certainly preferable to the property owner having their home nominated by others without their approval.

3.Exterior renovations to 249 5th Avenue. This is one of PNC's several downtown towers. The renovation is basically swapping out existing sets of double revolving doors for sets that include handicapped-accessible entrances.
Why in the world is something this inconsequential going to the Planning Commission?
