It looks like the new building on the corner of Haynes and Peters is going to be set back from the street with a parking lot in front. I guess these are going to be apartments? Hopefully they won't look like crap...
I'm glad to see new construction, and even more glad to see an empty lot taken up, but is this the type of thing that our Steering Committee Findings process will be able to prevent in the future? Are these developers under any obligation whatsoever to make this new building look good and fit with the neighborhood, or are we just stuck with the results? I thought there were at least some existing restrictions, given that we are a designated historical area. Does that have any teeth at all?
