new plan on the table

One of the biggest concerns residents voiced at a previous meeting about an office building developer Eli Kahn wants to construct on the 300 block of West Market Street was the proposed height of the project: 100 feet, eight stories.

Well, at a hearing last night, Kahn said he would be able to come back with a different plan and lower the height of the building by two floors, bringing it down to about 75 feet. So, council members granted him a continuance. To his credit, Kahn has already met with neighbors to listen to their concerns, but a few of them spoke last night and still had issues regarding traffic and the height of the project. We'll see what happens in November, when the hearing is continued.
