[quote="Guest"][quote="Guest"]I'm glad this discussion has started again, but please explain why you think someone was lying, exaggerating or is warped? I think you people don't realize what you are looking at.  That house IS completely out of scale with the surrounding historic district.  It sits back and up from the house next door, it is just way too big, and even worse it is a new house right in the middle of a National Historic District. It's like now they are the most important thing in town.  So yea let's wait and see what it looks like in the end, but  what if we don't like it?  Do you all honestly think a Lietke Drive house is appropriate there? You are probably all real estate agents.  In my opinion HPC and zoning have completely failed the town.  BTW I am entitled to my opinion just as all of you are.[/quote]

Your entitled to your opinion.  But the person who characterized it as a McMansion was fear mongering since it clearly isn’t and the person who said it was larger than everything else on Main Street was factually incorrect.  I have no idea what it will look like finished and whether it will fit.  But I can see its scale and see that those statements about it were not correct.  You also seem to have quite a bias against it with your statements implying that the builders must think they are the most important thing in town.

When I walk up and down Main Street I see all kinds of houses of various styles and eras of construction, some tiny, some multi-family, some very old and some from this century, and some larger than this one.  That said, I wouldn’t have supported tearing down a usable house to put up a new one in the historic district.  But I don’t have a problem with replacing an asphalt parking lot with a house where there historically use to be one.  The parking lot was hardly a historic site in that condition.[/quote]
