“Any discussion? I think this building has, it appears to have about 20 parking spaces dedicated to the building itself. As Trump reports that there's not an anticipated surge demand, and residents can and regularly do in some neighborhoods apply for resident-only parking decals for on-street parking, and I think if there's a challenge, something like that would be appropriate in this case.”

“Mr. Chair, is there any wisdom in considering the possibility of offering an extension to the applicant for him to go and have a more robust engagement with community and come back. It seems to be that that's the one of the big concerns here is that it was a couple of emails and that was to one person and that was it. Perhaps there would be more support. I don't know. Maybe it might be more opposition, but we don't know because there hasn't been enough engagement.”

“Demolitions are touchy, and you probably should have consulted with the neighbors first, but the idea of not throwing away the stuff that was inside, bedbugs and things like that are an issue with abandoned homes, and I think that was probably appropriate.”

“given that disclosure as required by the statute thank you very much i move for approval for the motion of second do we have discussion i i think it is um it's a attractive iconic building that is worth saving it is uh historic and i i I acknowledge the concerns about parking and I can't say that parking will not evolve because of this project, it very well might, but I don't think anybody wants 100 plus thousand square foot building in the middle of a residential neighborhood to go vacant and dark for a generation.”
