Hi Kevin -
There was such a volume of material to go through in such a short time and with intervening holidays .... So forgive this last note, but I noticed the very deceptive artist rendering of the project:
•'.If .;ft, ��- i\li .• -. .,-,
In addition to the perspectives and scales appearing to be grossly off, the red line I noted is where the current 01/24/2022
lti:.m 1�
I do hope more truthful and accurate renderings will eventually be provided. And a joint site visit and discussion with stakeholders.
Regards,
H

Good morning Henry,
Thank you for your comments; I have copied the official email address for submitting public comments for the City Council meeting, as noted on the public notice, so that they are included in the record. Regarding the meeting time, while the Council meeting itself starts at 4:30, public hearings do not start earlier than 5:00. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Mayor & Kevin -
Attached are my formal comments for the Goldrich & Kest Central Park Apartments Project that is being considered tomorrow, 1/24/22.
Kevin - On my blue card, snail mail notice it says the meeting starts at 5pm, yet on the website, it says 4:30pm?

On a minor point, I suppose, I found errors in some of the docs ... one easiest to illustrate - one of the historic reports seems to imply that none of the original Hotel Green East building survives - though the first-floor corner does, at the corner of Green and Raymond - as part of the old Stats.
In addition to exterior details, it still has some of the interiors - restaurant arches and capitals and the front door which matches ours. (see pix below for ref) Maybe it should be looked at and considered for inclusion in the city's heritage assets if not already? The devil is in the details as the cliche goes, so these things tend to erode my confidence in the quality of the documentation.
Will try to dial into tomorrow's meeting if I know the correct time.
Thanks.
Kind regards,
