In the spirit of sticking " to the facts"... Please know that an average fireman could probably fit down a 4' wide alley, carrying a ladder and hose sufficient to help resolve a catastrophe in the one story addition. The difference between ZERO FEET and 4' is wider than the average rescue worker. Further modern equipment, including those mechanized ladders capable of aiding rescues, generally up to 6 stories, could be inserted through such an opening without trespass on much more than airspace of neighboring properties. Is your feeble attempt to contradict just one of my points an admission that the proposed hotel project is not a good fit at the 40th and Pine location? I offered my red flags as if they were an alcohol test for a pilot. If any of the negative criteria fit, than I wouldn't get on that flight, and I wouldn't recommend involvement by my neighbors. Thanks for providing the link www.CampusInnUC.com It took a long time to load, but provided loads of useful info, presented some new questions, and illustrated that even the architect could not create drawings, no matter how self serving, that help the proposed tower look attractive or appropriate. MLamond wrote: Hi, Liz, this access comment of yours has puzzled me, especially now that you say you've stood on the site. You've mentioned before that the proposed new inn would block fire access across the rear of the site. I don't think it's accurate to say that the new building would change the rear access to the property. There is already pretty close to a "zero lot line" in the rear. You can see this in slide 4 & slide 7 of the Atkin Olshin Schade presentation, on line at http://www.campusinnuc.com/
The 1960 drawing in slide 7 shows that that cinder block rear building is 4' from the rear property line, and the bird's-eye view in slide 4 shows that the cinder block building is at least one story tall. Have you ever seen a fire engine less than 4' wide, or one that can jump onto the roof of a one-story building? Hoping to stick to the facts, Melani _____________________________________________________________ Career Problems? Go to Vocational School and increase your pay.
