1220 E Edgemont

[Pam Racich]

And while I'm on the subject....    : )


In an effort to keep my architect friend's good name, the fact that the 
plans came back from the City many times does not indicate any problems 
with the idea of the demonstration home in the eyes of the City or lack 
of competence in my friend's firm.

The problems the City had, which in turn caused my architect friend to 
pull out tufts of well-loved hair was that the city was considering 
this project a COMMERCIAL one and was requiring all sorts of upgrades 
to make the house inline with commercial codes. Some of the battles 
included whether or not FSL would have to retrofit the house with a 
commercial sprinkler system throughout. Headaches for FSL and Jerry, to 
be sure.

Also, the pedestrian circulation for the house was to be from the FSL 
parking lot to the west. That was how it was presented to us. Although, 
certainly it was going to have a front door so anyone could have 
entered the facility from Edgemont. I do believe that pedestrian access 
from their parking lot was their intent since parking would certainly 
be easier for them in their parking lot after we placed a Resident Only 
Permit Program on the north side of Edgemont several years ago (no 
non-resident parking without a permit from 8am to 5pm) which would  
cause them lots of parking problems with their guests.

I wouldn't jump to too many conclusions here just yet, they've been 
fairly open with us about what they wanted to do and I have had an 
insider's view of the process since it started and just at this point, 
nothing seems too far out of line from what I have known.
