LPC Hearing: 10/08/24 (favorable report)
FRIENDS' Testimony:
FRIENDS Preservation Committee finds proposed addition of two more flagpoles redundant. Given that the Swedish Cottage is a small rural structure, having three flagpoles seems excessive. We recommend that the Parks Department remove existing flagpole on the roof and keep only two proposed flagpoles on the ground.
