Happening now at the City Council's BIHZ Committee: Linden Hills neighbors have appealed to stop a lot split that would allow two duplexes to replace a single-family home. City Council has the power to reverse the Planning Commission's decision.
"The commission is actively permitting these unjust decisions and supports a growing sense it comes from some sort of resentment bias against the citizens of Linden Hills and southwest Minneapolis."
It's getting good.
Neighbor Katharine says guy wants to build some "luxury duplexes."
Guy says, actually "it is in the spirit of the neighborhood" because Katharine has a 3-story "luxury home." He has a picture of it. He adds, she's only been in the neighborhood since 2018.
Lisa Goodman: "It's not helpful to be criticizing other people who spoke."
Appeal granted, 5-1. Full City Council is likely to vote to affirm this, meaning there will be no lot split at 3908 Abbott in Linden Hills.
