Quotes
Officials only, in order.
Yeah, I just have 2 questions. Can you tell me how many residential units are planned for this tower?Angie Master · Vice chair37:29rec. 1
Where you picked a sort of wood color, but I know Trex can also come in a gray, which would be closer to the stone that you’re using elsewhere. What was the logic in that color selection?Mark Ginsberg1:40:01rec. 1
I agree it’s appropriate, but having lived for a year in Sunnyside Gardens, the rooms are small and dark, so adding the skylight will improve the quality of the interior space. So in addition to being appropriate, it’s positive change.Mark Ginsberg2:25:23rec. 1
It’s, um, a big improvement over what’s there. I do think that there’s a disconnect between the symmetry of the rooftop addition and asymmetry of the, uh, the lower portion of the building.Frank Mahan2:42:44rec. 1
…a lot of ornament on the existing archways that are missing in the proposed. Does that mean you’re getting rid of that?Stephen Chu3:22:59rec. 1

How we count
Each summary sentence is checked against the transcript before it is published; in a blind check, 144 of 150 sentences were right. A voice gets an official’s name only when two AI readers and a code check agree, so the minutes undercount and are not attendance. Officials only: members of the public are counted, never named, shown or quoted, and full transcripts aren’t published because they can carry their names. More on how we know
