As I just responded to Ray's comments, the traffic study was never relevant.
well, the traffic study DID became relevant at some point. and that point was at pcpc's may 20 hearing.
prior to may 20, the hotel's height and scale was THE issue -- in newspaper articles, at the spruce hill meeting, in inga saffron's column, and even for pcpc and the developer. it's why pcpc recommended rejecting the hotel on april 15, it's what the developer was responding to when he adjusted the plans on april 25, and it was these height/scale adjustments that pcpc said it would use to approve the hotel on may 20 (even while admitting 'it's still an 11-story building.') in other words, it was all about the height and scale, for everyone involved, up until may 20.
but on may 20 the developer cited a traffic study, the pcpc tabled any decision until it could consider this traffic study, and finally in september the pcpc approved the hotel based on the traffic study, telling the neighbors that they would 'get used to' the 'overbearing' height and scale of the hotel.
I come back to my original question: what happened to the main issue of the hotel's height and scale?
