I am copying below a letter, which is now being circulated, sent by L&I to neighboring properties [about the scheduled demolition] of 4224 Baltimore Ave. I'm not technologically able to put the letter online where you all can look at the actual letter, but if someone would like to do that, I can scan & send it to you. The Campenella name may ring a bell: he was the developer planning the proposed homeless shelter at 45th & Chestnut several years ago. Melani: Is the city demolishing it, or is L&I just notifying adjacent owners/residents that the demolition is taking place? If the owner is demolishing it, maybe we better be prepared for a proposal to build a high-rise that takes up both the lot it's on and the lot on the SE corner of 43rd & Baltimore. If a precedence is set at 40th & Pine, who can say how far it will go? If OK shoehorned onto the lot at 40th & Pine, the argument would be weak to stop it at the edge of Clark Park where presumably there would be lots of space for proper setbacks, parking, a drive to pick-up and drop-off people, etc. I don't have to reiterate the story of Pandora's box to suggest the implications.
