Dear neighbors, The architectural committee of the historic commission voted 4.5 to 1.5 (officially 4-2) against approval of the Penn 110 unit hotel concept at 40th and Pine.
The Univerisity of Pennsylvania will either need to leave the historic property fall apart or Penn will, I guess, go bankrupt due to the hardship. It was asserted that the Spruce Hill Civic Ass. zoning committee held "two open and public forums" about Penn's plan. Mr Barry Grosbach was present but did not correct this or speak. Some of our neighbors spoke against this and Melani Lamond spoke in favor. Quick report only-but I'm steaming about this Spruce Hill Civic Ass., "open and public forum" bullshit. I wanted to give our civic ass. the benefit of the doubt. Glenn __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
