		<description>Steven poses an important questing regarding motivation for the obstructionist tactics.  So far the only clue was offered in Michael Smith&#039;s post during the previous edition of this subject: &quot;...that setback pattern was important; important enough to future redevelopment to defend.&quot;

In other words: Because that&#039;s the way it was in the past, we should maintain it in the future.  That seems to be the only logic guiding their counter-progressive actions.  BUT, the neighborhood is not an historic district.  It was DENIED historic status because it did not have the qualifying attributes.  Look around... it&#039;s never going to be an historic neighborhood!

That leads me to believe that the motivation is irrational.  I&#039;d love to learn otherwise, because then we&#039;d be able to address the issue with logic and reason instead of just wasting everyone&#039;s time and money.

Let&#039;s hope that the Board of Adjustment is wearing their logic-hat this afternoon!</description>

		<description>Brian, I agree. I actually live/own in the neighborhood and would LOVE to see more modern homes and the City and planning committees be a little more open minded on this issue.

I still would like to see Randy Floyd state her true motives for the opposition. I can respect a difference of opinion, but so far, haven&#039;t heard on why she is opposing it other than &quot;setback requirements&quot;.</description>

		<description>If there is something Oklahoma City is lacking architecturally, it is modern homes.  I fully support any and all modern homes built and proposed to date in this very eclectic neighborhood.  Randy Floyd needs to stop wasting time prohibiting progress.</description>
