I ask you this, did Abu Ghraib have that many windows?
“A Hideous Monstrosity”
How much more ugly could it be? None more!
Wow, that is horrible. I really feel for the residents of the 100 block of Pine, I would not want to be behind that monstrosity.
We are trying to control as much as we can within out neighborhood imput. However as it is zoned B-3 instead of UB2 or UB there is only so much that can be done as so much is allowed by “right” as the City of Richmond Community Development says.It is a shame that there is not a stronger sense of transition from business to a neighborhood! I cannot believe that they are allowed to build so high and that no one is concerned of landscaping and privacy and watershed issues. Density of traffic is how many cars can you stack on a pinhead. There is also a proposed restaurant on the first floor of that building with an exhaust fan proposed to the alley. Whether it is for grease exhaust or for carbon monoxide both should be vented over the building and to the east towards downtown and not into our homes.
