If this was true -- and it makes some intuitive sense -- and if I were a
Woodland Terr. resident, to whom esthetics absolutely would matter --
then I might try to present an argument rich in civil-engineering issues
such as traffic when working PCPC, and to concentrate my esthetic
concerns in other venues, ones I thought more disposed to hear them with
respect.
-- Tony West
At the Woodland Terrace meetings I attended we were informed that
aesthetics, including scale, would not be as important to focus on as
things like traffic. We were told that a traffic concerns would have
more impact on the City agencies involved and that aesthetics were not
really a "valid" thing to complain about. I assume this was true at
other neighborhood meetings. This might be why traffic became a major
talking point. On the other hand, we were very careful that each of
the neighbors speaking at the first PCPC meeting had a different angle
on the subject of the hotel so that the Commission would see that
there were many concerns, not just traffic. Of course, the minutes,
which I know are only supposed to be an outline, don't reflect those.
