Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 1052211, member: 716"] It's like talking to a wall with some of the people on here. Again: The city has no jurisdiction over the review of the project's impact on the waterway. This is now before the Army Corps of Engineers, which moves slowly. As was covered last summer, the proposal was approved by the city's planning commission (which doesn't, by the way, make a habit of playing political games over perceived slights that may or may not actually exist). From the minutes (available to the public and easy to find): 5 August 2013: "9) [U]Z-2399 M4[/U] Planned Institutional District Plan Amendment Amend the Manley PID District Plan 1301-1487 East Colvin Street, 1408-1500 Lancaster Avenue, 312-400 Haffendon Road, and 242 Morningside Terrace Syracuse University (owner/applicant) Planned Institutional District Mr. Steve Schroeder, Assistant Director for Planning for Syracuse University at 640 Skytop Road, spoke to the Commission about the proposal, which consists of amending the Manley Planned Institutional District District Plan in order to facilitate three future projects on property situated at 1301-1487 East Colvin Street, 1408-1500 Lancaster Avenue, 312-400 Haffendon Road, and 242 Morningside Terrace. No one spoke in favor of or in opposition to the proposal. After further discussion and review, Mr. Steve Kulick made a motion to approve the request with a negative SEQR determination. Ms. Rebecca Livengood seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously." 26 August 2013: "7) [U]Z-2769[/U] Project Plan Review Construct a 102,300-Square Foot Athletic Practice Facility 1301, 1387, 1431 and 1455-1483 East Colvin Street, 312 and 400 Haffenden Road, and 242 Morningside Terrace Syracuse University (owner/applicant) Planned Institutional District Mr. Steve Schroeder, Assistant Director for Planning for Syracuse University at 640 Skytop Road, spoke to the Commission about the proposal, which consists of constructing a 102,300-square foot indoor athletic practice facility on properties situated at 1301, 1387, 1431 and 1455-1483 East Colvin Street, 312 and 400 Haffenden Road, and 242 Morningside Terrace. No one spoke in favor of or in opposition to the proposal. After further discussion and review, Mr. Steve Kulick made a motion to approve the request with a negative SEQR declaration. Ms. Rebecca Livengood seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously." It's like a group of hens on here sometimes. "Hey, the city's ing up SU's building plan!" "Quick, everyone pile on!" I can only repeat the same thing so many times. The city approved the project. SU's purchased the materials and staged them on Skytop. When the Army Corps signs off, SU's going to start building.
