Stephen and Ledbury:

I think Ledbury is making the point that even though a present zoning/comp. plan may designate a certain building height, that it can change in the future and sometime in the very near future. Consider how NM changed from 35-65 ft. heights to 325 ft in one swope.

It could be argued that for Lair Hill property owners that maybe in 25 year their zoning heights could be changed to 150 ft. But those property owners directly along Gibbs wouldn't be able to enjoy those same rights because of the tram car/cable heights being less than the 150 ft. Those property owners or successors would be harmed financially by devalued property not equal to nearby or adjacent property owners.That is one basis of the lawsuit potentially pending.
