I'm sorry, Ryan, but I think you've misjudged this one. Screencarp--and the NEC--have it right. No doubt some of the opposition--and some of the reasons--are reflexive NIMBYism, but no one could say that about NEC's assessment. The proposed development is too big for the site and inappropriate to the neighborhood and the landscape. Let them scale it back per the NEC recommendations, and I would be happy to see it go forward. It may not be excessively high in absolute terms, but the ground at this site is already three storeys or more above most of the neighborhood, so you're getting the effect of a nine- or ten-storey building right against the escarpment. Good for the developer, and good for the people who get to live in those units--but bad for the rest of the neighborhood.
