The only commission I recall not weighing in on the matter was the Historical Commission.<BR/><BR/>The Finance Commission had the most impressive points showing how the Pavilion would have very little impact to Excelsior's tax receipts. Matter in fact, they were showing a net loss if you factor in the parking ramp that some have also been trying to force down the throats of business owners, there is a not loss!<BR/><BR/>It's really not surprising if residents just stop and think about it without all the emotion.<BR/><BR/>This group pushing the Pavilion through have really sold a load of bull to Excelsior residents and continued to pimp it last Wednesday. Saying the view wouldn't be blocked was laughable.<BR/><BR/>Bottom line, even if the Excelsior city council votes for this proposal to move forward, the LMCC and DNR will never let a monstrous structure like this be built on the water's edge.<BR/><BR/>Too bad we can't build this thing next to Jon Monson's house in Deephaven to let him and his neighbors experience first hand what a wonderful idea this really is... not!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
