Filed by Genevieve McMillan--who owns the nearby 96 Winthrop St. building that houses the Henri IV restaurant--the suit contends that the city acted improperly in allowing Robert Banker '58 to chose how he would meet area parking regulations, McMillan's attorney said.
Cambridge zoning rules require that developers provide a certain amount of parking for every square foot they intend to build--adding up to about 50 spaces for the proposed Eliot St. building, said Gladys P. Gifford, president of the Harvard Square Defense Fund, a community activist group. But she added...
Counihan added that Banker was "building as much as he can possibly build and asking for an exemption of parking. In the wintertime, [McMillan's whole building...will be in shadow," said Counihan.
But according to Counihan, Banker has asked the court to dismiss the case on grounds that McMillan had an ulterior motive--to get Banker involved in her fight to stop development on the University-owned Harvard Motor House site.
Harvard plans to replace that structure with commercial space and to build an "inn" owned by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences across from the Harvard Union partly to compensate for the hotel's loss.
