For some reason I thought this was supposed to be 4 storeys. :confused:

I remember it being proposed as six stories.
My biggest concern about the site is that is infringing on an industrial area. We have a scarcity of industrial land and can not afford to let any more of it to be lost.

Most industrial users of the area, that by and large are males, will put up with it, don't feel threatened by it. That's why they put up with the hookers now. They are all mostly 8-4:30pm M-F businesses that see like-minded trades-people as clients, not the general public.
