Jody Shaw, 15 Ellis Potter Ct, registered in support, and presented images further illustrating the plan, including the future demolition of McConnell Hall and potential addition to Longfellow School. Mr. Levitan asked for more information about the new addition to Longfellow School at the next meeting. Mr. Stephans request additional street views of Longfellow School. Ms Gehrig asked staff to include the Longfellow School landmark nomination in their packet.
Paul Schoeneman, 1108 E Gorham St #3, registered in opposition stating he is familiar with McConnell Hall and is in favor of keeping the building instead of building a parking garage. He added that even keeping the facade would be preferable.
