    Rob, be very careful... I was involved from an arms length on a city 
rewrite. Any commercial tower had to be 200 feet away from any 
residential unit. This was part of the rewrite. On a Monday afternoon at 
4:30pm, it was 200 feet. The next day at 10:00am in front of the whole 
commission, is was 500 feet. That changes a lot of locations. I'm sure 
that the fact that the city has a contract with Vertical Partners had 
nothing to do with it. ( City property is excluded, so VP can use 
schools, parks etc).

    We had to move the tower to a very narrow location to fit in within 
the 500 feet.
