[A previous post mistakenly had the location as 52nd and Couch and the wrong date for the planning meeting.]
What are the objections?
“Setback and building length adjustment requests are not compatible with the neighborhood; physical relationship with south neighbors not addressed.”
Adjustments that were granted to the developer included increasing the maximum building length allowed from 100′ to 146′, and reducing the setbacks from NE 53rd and the neighboring property to the south.
