Ron, I'm not sure what you mean by your second statement; could you elaborate? What do you mean by "removing a restriction creates public property"?

As for zoning, I know it can be changed, but even in the regional comprehensive plan the majority of Gibbs Street on Lair Hill is only slated to be the lowest form of multi-family residential (duplex, townhouses, etc.), nothing of the type that would come close to the elevation of the tram's cables. So, I'm still wondering if there's any cause for concern about the City getting sued for airspace violations (from homeowners, not the Feds) when even in the comprehensive zoning plan there's (seemingly) no room for upward growth of the scale required to cause a conflict. There's certainly no Measure 37 claim here IF the property owners weren't allowed to build that high anyway due to zoning restrictions that were already in place.
