Liz says- "Zoning rules and Housing codes should not be bent to profit a few, especially when the impact could be so over reaching. The proposed Hotel would change the Streetcar and main Auto entrance of our nationally designated Historic "Victorian" neighborhood. It would also establish a precedent which could be used against us, very soon, at the now Campanella owned SE corner of 43rd & Baltimore (formerly an Italianate Home and Community garden)."
I’ve been getting very excited about the upcoming approval of the Campus Inn by the Penn City Planning Commission. Finally, I can see victory over the district trash cops. I’d like to take this opportunity to announce my plans to build a three story wall nestled against the sidewalk in front of my house on the 4300 block of Baltimore! Lots of people thought that the Trustees vision wanted to set a precedent by smashing all zoning rules in the residential neighborhood being transformed to a BID. Eureka! Lets see these trash coppers give me a ticket for furniture on my porch when a three story wall will go straight up from the sidewalk! Ha-Ha! Thank you Campus Inn. Thank you, Trustees. When I first thought of the precedent being set to build three stories against the sidewalk, I got depressed. How can a little guy like me finance such a big wall? But then the light-bulb lit up above my head. Eureka! Thank you Campus Inn! I’d like to take this opportunity to announce plans for the construction of the Spruce Hill Tower. My bleak abandoned back yard will be transformed into an 11- 25 story tower of green efficiency apartments nestled against my neighbors property lines. I share the vision of the University City Historical Society and Spruce Hill Civic Association leaders for increasing density along public transportation routes. I hope to rent these affordable units mostly to large immigrant families working at local boutique hotels. After the upcoming PCPC announcement, the smashed zoning rules will allow the Spruce Hill Tower erection to rise 11 stories against my neighbors property lines. But I’m hoping my good good friends, the important community leaders of SHCA and UCHS, will approve my request to allow the Spruce Hill Tower to rise to 25 stories. We can have one of their famous open public forums at the Spruce Hill Café martini bar, wink-wink. Did I happen to mention, the University City Historical Society Observation Deck, on top of this green erection will have a glorious view of the Franklin Building and the Hub? As we await the glorious announcement by the PCPC, all I can say is: Thank you Campus Inn! Thank you, Trustees!
