Only some of it is in CVC and I believe even that part can be at least as tall as the library. I like the idea of a faux building enclosing the substation like some dense cities have done. The tarp just seems over the top to me(no pun intended). IMO I think it should be hidden and made to blend in if anything.
I'm fairly certain that the 16 story base portion of the 360 is in that same CVC. So, I imagine that it could be much taller than the library. With a lot as big as that one is, one could imagine an office building with really large floor plates and subsequently a lot of square footage.
When suggesting on the last page that the substation could be covered by a tarp, I didn't mean a "blanket" - but rather a structure something like this with different elevations, which would be cheaper than a fake building or burying everything (not to mention having local artists add colorful designs to the top):

This would really only benefit those looking down on it. The sides would still be exposed and it looks like something you'd want to go inside of. I think you need to cover all 4 sides completely then maybe add an artistic roof, but not make it look like a tourist attraction. IMO it should be similar to A Silicon Labs building, but just a shell with substation inside. Otherwise they should just relocate it.
In the second photo, if the drone were about 15 feet lower and 10 feet to the left this would be a perfect picture, because the W would be completely blocked from view.
Yeah, it was really foggy. We went out of town to Conroe on Saturday and left early. It was super foggy. This was US 290 east of Giddings just before sunrise.

In #1, it's really easy to imagine how the lineup of 600 guad, whatever goes on the Post Office lot, and the Courthouse Lot could feasibly give the city a new and prominent north-south spine.
In #2, it's very, very easy to see how Butler Shores might be a perfect place for a soccer stadium. The views will be stellar.
