Dear members of the Spruce Hill Civic Association, As you may have heard, Penn is proposing to build a 10-story hotel at the corner of 40th and Pine. This proposal was reported in the October 10 issue of the UC Review, and a week later letters opposing the proposal were published. On October 23, the Philadelphia Historic Commission's Architectural Committee met and rejected Penn's proposal Agreeing with concerns expressed by several neighbors and various written letters; the proposed building was incompatible in size, scale, and character with both the nearby neighborhood and the historical mansion. The proceedings were recorded by the PHC and minutes are created.
Neighbors, at this meeting, an architect for the Penn hotel testified that the Spruce Hill Civic Associations zoning committee had held two open and public forums about this hotel plan. I was surprised to hear about these two open public forums, and so are other neighbors concerned about this project. When did these forums take place? Who attended? How and when were they publicized? Prior to these forums, had any of you heard about the proposed hotel? When was it reported in your newsletter? Thanks for sharing any information about this.
