I'd have to agree.
Plus if he's going for something 'incredible' that's beyond the existing rampart heights - my first sense is
danger will robinson, danger! He really had a rough go of getting this through (It was appealed) and trying to go around the rampart heights is well beyond just a simple application. To me; that's a whole policy and visioning exercise that asks the question 'how important is the fort?'.
Personally - I think it's an important part of the city's heritage and I respect it's place and I don't know if I'd like to see the rampart height maximum taken away. Quite the opposite though; i'd like to see is applied to more areas outside of the viewplanes.
I dunno - I'm at a point where I'd rather he just stick with what he got appoved for, or keep it the same height. Anything more falls into my 'i'll believe it when I see it' category. I honestly, don't have much faith in development in downtown lately...
