Sorry for the important posts about the secret PCPC emergency meeting. Unfortunately, we never get appropriate notice and neighbors must scramble. This is important to some people.
If you were at the PHC Architectural Committee rejection of the Campus Inn in Oct. 2007 and the Nov. 2007 PHC meeting giving approval to the Campus Inn by the full commission, you will have seen the trick which is coming! Karen revealed that PCPC has the "traffic study" for the campus Inn on their unannounced agenda for the 19th. When I visited the PCPC office in June, I was told that Campus Inn was not on the agenda largely because THE TRAFFIC STUDY had not been submitted. The false record of the May 20 hearing called "minutes" highlights a request for the TRAFFIC STUDY. It appears from the build-up that the only thing holding back approval of the Campus Inn is a TRAFFIC STUDY!!!!! Neighbors, when the PHC changed it's procedures to approve the Campus Inn after a 4.5 to 1.5 rejection by the Architectural committtee, the developers misled the full commission into believing that the "set-back" was their only objection. It was not the only issue causing rejection by the architects! It was an off the cuff remark by the woman voting .5 vote against and .5 vote for approval. In Nov., the Campus Inn developers presented new secret plans on the spot, adding an additional story to the height. Instead of taking the 10 stories illegally to the property line/sidewalk, they asserted that taking 3 stories illegally to the property line was acceptable to the architects with stories 4-11 set back from the property line. IF WE HAD THE TAPES OR TRANSCRIPTS YOU WOULD ALL BE ABLE TO SEE ALL OF THIS!!! We can assume some of the commissioners honestly believed this was the only objection from the architectural committee being by-passed for no reason, so their quick and ostensibly routine approval of the Campus Inn was cloaked. The Penn team, of course, knew the truth. On Tuesday, we are going to see a pretense that the only issue delaying approval is review of the traffic study. I suspect that since the public had an opportunity to testify (although that has been eliminated via the false "public record"), we will not be allowed to speak against the quick and ostensibly routine approval of the Campus INN. Is that why we get this late unannounced agenda discovered by Karen? This is exactly what happened at the PHC!!!!!!!! Please forward this to the neighbors. This is no joke, this is what to expect.
