The ceilings are lower than the ceilings in historic buildings, so they get the extra floor that way.Carole Osterinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16010623982526286408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-21616053796721847312022-02-14T02:56:40.612-05:002022-02-14T02:56:40.612-05:00And why are these buildings 5 and 6 stories high ...And why are these buildings 5 and 6 stories high ? <br /><br />The height in Hudson.

Walter Chatham, who then chaired the Planning Board but did not yet work for Galvan, dismissed the notion of segmentation, saying that implementation of the whole plan was "years away, and it may never happen." Although the possibility of reproducing the Orphan Asylum has been mentioned before, Friday was the first time this flatiron building has been seen. In the past, Galvan has made much of the "parklike setting" being created in that triangle.

Can they add whatever they want now that they have gotten approval? Of course they can, it's in THEIR Depot District. The Mayor even used that term at his recent swearing in. Galvan named the neighborhood WITH NO PUBLIC INPUT, City Hall accepted it, perpetuates it, and so it is Galvan's slice of the city and they get to do as they please. Do I have this correct?BILLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06165652134301551300noreply@blogger.com
