Mike, Thanks for offering an alternative understanding. It is easy to confuse Garden Court (4617 - 4643 Pine) with 4701 Pine. And there were lots of distractions (one drawback of being surrounded by smart, funny, activists). But even if the reference were to 4701, neighbors should note that 4701 has huge amounts of self contained parking. I think someone at the meeting last night said there were 300 spaces, and since the opening is only equivalent to about 2 street spaces, no net loss for the neighbors, who may rent a space after demand from within the building is met. 4701 also has sufficient open space to house a Dog Run, Tennis Courts, and an enormous garden with pond. Plus most of the apartments are large and well lighted. The building does not encroach upon neighboring homes, putting neighbors at unreasonable risks. Neither of these grand 1920's projects are reasonable comparables to the proposed contemporary tower with zero setbacks and cramped rooms.
