[quote=Anonymous]To the person recounting the history of the Cleveland Park Giant, your are forgetting the original proposal in 1999 that was a 1 store with one story of small offices on the second floor. The openings on Wisconsin Avenue were perfect and the only problem, according to the neighbors, was the 3 story (1 1/2 underground) parking garage that required a zoning variance.

The neighbors (the tiny minority) threatened lawsuits, so instead, Giant proposed the proposal that had the blank wall. At that point the CPCA threatened to file a landmark designation (nice way to use preservation as a blunt instrument) and the rest of your account is accurate. However, there was an irony in that right before Giant broke ground on Cathedral Commons, one of the key opponents suggested on the neighborhood Yahoo group that Giant scale back the development to 2 stories on one side and three on the other. The original proposal was for one story and nothing new on the north parcel.

You get what you wish for, but none of this has anything to do with GDS.[/quote]
