I am not familiar with this - could you fill me in?

Is that the guy that came to the recent council meeting and spoke with the Hefners?

I'm not familiar with how condo associations are run - would they have told all the residents about the needs? Or would it have been voted on by a select few and never spoken of?

I don't think it's unreasonable - keep in mind that due to inflation, $1000 in 2001 is around $1400 today.

It's just alternating! Like if you think of each vertical "third" as a part, each part is mirrored from the last.

The current fast food building design trends really are awful.

Agree. Painting it would also then be one more thing that can fade/age terribly if not maintained well. I like nekkid concrete. :)

Darn, I really wanted to give that one a try but hadn't made it over yet. :(

I've been charged before ($5) on my first cancellation. I think you have a certain amount of minutes to cancel before they hit you with the fee. After that, if you change your mind it's on you. ...

Yes, that would be GREAT

It was more a precedent concern with context/character of the neighborhood. Which I can understand, and I do think the revised proposal is more in keeping. Linwood's far enough out of the action...

Mine also fixed itself after clearing the cache.

Yeah, I don't know why we don't fine or have "real" consequences for most of these stoppages. Running in to a shop or a restaurant like "Who drives the red Kia?!" and then letting them move it...

Do we know if the 23rd/Penn location will have a pool?

I believe these are by the Omega Development Company. They're currently attempting a similar development of three homes in Linwood Place (and being opposed by the Neighborhood Association).

I just wanted to add that right now, buildings 50-60 years old are facing this problem and we're losing them in the same way. Even some that are attractive and appealing. I don't know that we've...

I don't have anything productive to add, I just wanted to applaud this response. :Smiley051

Without this hold, what's to stop a property owner from demolishing once they find out the study has started?

True, but I'm still curious where he would have stood.

McAtee voted in support from Holt's chair yesterday. I haven't heard Holt's position on it.

Darn, the way that article was written it didn't quite sound like a done deal. Gave me false hope!

The alarming thing to me is that he's getting enough support! I'm not familiar with the process for this - is there any chance this gets stopped, or is it pretty much happening at this point?

I truly don't understand the point of this. The HPC has the ability to initiate the process until the council makes a decision. They get the final say either way, all the HPC could do was put...

That's not true - there was an active effort and agreement put forth by the OCFA to take over maintenance and preserve it.

Yeah, it's ridiculous. Not to mention the inefficiencies inherent in the type of homebuilder developments anyway that prohibit them from really being affordable housing solutions (density, distance,...
