The demo permits for 1315 4th and the old house on 13th Ave were approved. They were not in any way tied to building of the hotel. The hotel would have gone through a totally separate planning process with its own public hearing. Same goes for the 2320 Colfax development...the apartment building hasn't actually been approved yet, even though the fight over demolition is over (or nearly over, pending the lawsuit).As much as I'm against tearing down a century-old house for surface parking, it would be nice for the entrance to the expanded lot to move to 13th and off of 4th. Hopefully that's a condition of the demo permit. Or does the permission he got for the Graduate still apply?
Which curb cut on 4th are you wanting to be closed? The one for the bank(?) drive through (1315)? Or the one between 1319 and Tony's Diner?
