Oshiver Community Room, 3901 Market Street

This month, Tom Lussenhop will be presenting his proposed hotel development

Hope to see everyone there!

This is an opportunity for all concerned solid citizens who don't have to go
to work on Friday mornings to get the latest news about the Campus Inn project
from the horse's mouth (so to speak). It will be especially interesting
because the Development team has heard a great deal of constructive criticism
-- at
venues such as the November SHCA meeting, and also in private coffee sessions
with individuals -- and we'll be able to see how community inputs have helped
shape the plan. It will also be an opportunity to ascertain:
* how far along they are in the process of applying for a zoning
variance;
* whether the report in the DP was correct in stating that the whole
project must be presented to the Penn Board of Trustees for approval before the
property can be leased in the necessary manner;
* how the developers explain the rather striking difference between the
rendering of the hotel prepared by its architect and that prepared by the
acclaimed local architect, Marianna Thomas -- who happens to have an office
(the
only commercial occupancy) in the 3900 block of Baltimore Avenue.
The Oshiver Room is at the east end of the 3901 Market apartment building,
street level -- you should be able to enter from Market Street.
Always at your service and ready for a diatribe -- er, dialog.
