The proposal for the restoration of the house and the construction of the hotel will be "heard" by the architectural committee of the Historical Commission on Thursday, Oct 23. This item is scheduled for 12:15 pm in the Historical Commission Conference Room, Rm 578 City Hall. There will be several opportunities for the people in the neighborhood -- for and against -- to be heard. This is a good one at which to present arguments related to the visual aesthetics of the surrounding streets. Another opportunity will present itself when the zoning issue arises -- starting with the SHCA Zoning Committee and progressing through the hearing(s) by the Zoning Board of Adjustment. Architectural and zoning issues are not the same. This is the place to raise the former. The Historical Commission can't approve or disapprove the use of the property, but it can stop the construction of anything like the monstrosity pictured in last week's University City Review.
