Wow, this forum is indeed a house divided.
BTW ATX, I did watch most of the meeting, it was late and I couldn't sleep. This helped a lot...with me getting sleepy that is
I was hoping a brawl would break out with someone throwing a shoe or something. Interesting that they are planning on replacing 4 to 6 in diameter trees with 5 inch trees. He said most were 4 inch trees which would be a step up and only a few 6 inch trees would be a step down. I like that they admit that after the construction, they were "obligated"... in writing??, to return the street area back to the original condition, including the benches that would have to be removed. The reps did seem well prepared aside from needing to refer to their references a few times and needing to further research a few questions. The one particular guy on the commission made it clear that the building in question for demolition was not a historic landmark at this time and made it clear they are not advocating its demolition by documenting that point, leaving it up to the Historic Landmark Comm. to decide its fate. Riveting...lol
