Taking one’s chances with the appeal board is not an uncommon tactic (remembering the actual applicant is the architect representing the landowner). It’s not that risky.

There were several avenues to getting a drive thru including in the existing condition in the old Development Permit, or through the new DP, but perhaps not their absolute ideal scenario for configuration.

Bottom line is that the narrative that the City Administration was inflexible and dogmatic, or that the owner “can’t rebuild” out of something that was no fault of their own, is just not true.

It’s easy to buy into a caricature that the bureaucracy is some callous and faceless entity, but I also just don’t think that’s all that fair either.
