Hugh A. Russell '64, a proponent of the petition and a member of the city Planning Board, said that this analysis of the proposal's effects is inaccurate.
While he concedes that it is "a fine legal point," Russell said that as the document is written, all buildings constructed before the petition's implementation would be effectively grandfathered in and, therefore, not subject to a special permit process for renovations.
