So, bottom line -
Three story building. Mixed retail-residential. ADDITIONAL PARKING underneath, not to mention the parking space opened up because the building doesn't back onto the train tracks like the existing one.
Tell me what to complain about.

Let me simplify the discussion:
Inda critizes the plan for utilizing one layer of brick hung from the building as a veneer or as I like to think of it, a 4" thick finish....like paint.
Historically 12 or more inches of brick were laid up to form walls that bore the weigh of the building floors, roof, etc.
Inda has mentioned that many buildings of this construction type form the context of our downtown. I agree with this.
The OHNO movement has criticized the design for lacking green design.
This laid up brick construction type is not commonly used is green construction since 12" of clay is not typically a good insulator (This is the U/R factor discussion).
I'm curious how one reconsiles a revulsion to brick veneer with a desire to provide a "green" building.

Well, if they could "dumb it down" for those of us who are not understanding all of it (though Alias' last explanation was very clear and concise - thanks). As an example, if someone would "do the math" and explain how the different heights are being calculated, that would be helpful.

So should I complain, or what?

It gets very confusing especially in one place where it states the height is 48' but in parens it says that it includes a parapet at 50'.

One issue that I wonder about is concerning the average grade. The Redev. plan merely states average finished grade. But it does not indicate whether that is the average finished grade of the existing building or the new one. And that would be different.

I'm sure if there is a parking problem there will be plenty of complaints so you can sit this one out if you need to.nohero said:

I hope someone speaks up at the TC meeting and points out all the misinformation on the petition.
It's really a shame. That petition might have some influence if it was true.
