I'm all for something in the 10 story range. Maybe we're getting into semantics about shadows here. You can't tell me that a tall tower would destroy the vibrancy of this area as seen in streeview though:
I suspect that concern about the height is partially about this project, and partially a concern that the number of stories above the ARP's 6 that this achieves will be the new standard for all future tower applications.
