Second thoughts about Hillcrest 111 at Seventh and Robinson
This isn't a second thought Marty...this was a vote to appeal two already approved motions voted affirmative on Feb. 7, IF the developer did not agree to them. The fact that some board members were apologizing to 111 for the reasonable changes requested on a 9 story building (STEP BACKS, SETBACKS), was just amazing and, in my opinion, unprofessional...if this elected community group outlines improvements needed and won't stand behind them with an appeal, what good is the group? Happy to see the 9-5 vote in favor of the appeal, standing by their previous vote...funny to watch the board slobbering all over a 3 story Little Italy hotel plan on India (reported separately in SDR)...BTW great job working with the neighborhood on that project Mr. Developer, wish you worked for Gateway or 111, you were excellent at the meeting and what things should be like between developers and neighborhoods, unlike the divisiveness in Hillcrest and the politicizing of the situation like that quote of Brennan in your article. On 111, some of the same board members so happy with India Street appear to care less about a 9 story building, no setback, no step backs, (standard modern city planning requirements for sun, air and quality of life)...what a double standard...why not write about that SDR...happy 9 board members had the integrity to stand behind the original vote...UP's should have an offsite and review their mission...— April 10, 2017 8:45 p.m.
