#Nosy With Receipts

Pages 1–11 are a cover letter that uses the word 'vibrant' six times. Pages 12–40 are where the actual requests live: a height variance from 8 to 19 stories and a parking reduction of 40%.

The traffic study counted cars on a Tuesday in August, when half the town was at the lake. We'd love a second count.

Bottom line: this is a request, not an approval. Planning Commission hears it Nov 12.
