Due to the building being in the Core District, they do have a bit more leni- ency when it comes to building additional buildings, as long as it fits in with the surrounding properties, however, if they were to tear down and put up new buildings, they would have to be built to code. Pat McElliot speaking on behalf of Emily Larkin at 518 Church Street: He thought the initial plan sounds great, but is concerned about what if the cost gets pushed too high, what will the owners do, ie: low income rent, cut corners, etc. If there were any substantial changes to the plans, they would have to bring those to the City for review, however, Chairman Kell did say that a 4 RM or 5 RM would help to limit the number of units the potential owners could put into the building, instead of allowing a 3RM.
