height of the buildings, and asked about the height of surrounding buildings.

not like the height; he would like to see the height maintained at the same
height as surrounding buildings; he does not want to see them 6-8' taller than
the surrounding area; he would like to see more green space, particularly along
Weidner.

concerned about the traffic impact.
Trustee Marienthal prefers Plan B to Plan A; he does not like the wall effect

decrease the mass of blacktop parking; he believes the buildings are too high.
