I too disagree with the proposed building heights. 
Attention Pat Davis, if you are really a progressive you will listen this time to us and take a stand with our community !
Thank you,

 Thank
 you for the information and we also oppose the proposed
 building height changes. We knew this was one of Berry's
 goals for ART - to let the developers change Central into
 another downtown - but worse.Sara & Ron

 Hi Tandi,
 Thank you for summarizing these
 three major building height changes being proposed in the
 IDO.  You are absolutely correct about changing the
 landscape/sightscape of Central in Nob Hill.  I strongly
 support your position and oppose the proposed changes you
 describe.

 Hi
 neighbors,
 I'm sure
 you've all seen the updates from Gary and others about
 the proposed changes in building heights in Nob Hill.
  
 I wanted to
 summarize them because sometimes all the language in the
 codes can be hard to understand.  
 Here are three major changes
 that could dramatically change the streetscape in Nob
 Hill:
 1.  The first change is to
 raise the existing building height limit from 39' to
 45'.  That would include all blocks along Central
 in Nob Hill from Girard to Aliso.
 
 2.  The second change is to
 add an additional 20' to the height limit in the
 areas near ART stations.  In Nob Hill that includes the
 stations at Bryn Mawr and Solano.  This would raise the
 height limit from the proposed 45' up to a 65' (a
 five story building).  The increased height zone would
 include a block in either direction (East-West) from the
 station.  So this would apply along Central from Aliso to
 Hermosa, and Richmond to Wellesley.  
 *Pat Davis, maybe you can comment -
 has the additional height has already been nixed for the
 Bryn Mawr station?  In any case it is still being proposed
 for the Solano station zone.
 
 3.  The third change is to
 allow the additional 20' height within 660' of
 the Washington station.  This would cover Morningside
 to Monroe.  So the majority of East Nob Hill could be built
 up to five stories.  Also, the proposal includes another
 12' for any "Workforce" projects for a grand
 total of 77' allowable building height!  That's at
 least a six story building.  
 
 Here's what is needed:
  Please reply to this email with your feedback on these
 proposals before this coming Wednesday.  
 Also, please tell our councilman
 Pat Davis what you think!  His email is:  patdavis at cabq.gov.
  I think he reads these neighborhood emails too.
  
 As our
 representative it's up to Pat to help make the final
 decisions for our neighborhood, and without your input he
 won't know what the neighborhood
 prefers. 
 This
 is easy, you don't need to go to any meetings, just
 reply to this email and/or email Pat.  If you do feel
 strongly and wish to go to the meeting to add your voice, it
 will be August 16th in the evening.  Please contact Gary
 Eyster for more info at:  meyster1 at comcast.net.
 Thanks!  
 As I have written before, I think
 these building heights are completely out of character for
 Nob Hill.  They do not fit the historic architecture or
 human-scale texture of the neighborhood, and they are
 unnecessary.  The only people who benefit are developers. 
 Three stories is a good limit for any commercial development
 along Central.  I do support increased density to help
 small local businesses survive, however it has to be done
 with respect for the existing neighborhood.  Looking
 forward to hearing your thoughts.
 Tandi Hufnagel, Aliso NE
