I note that it was a 3-2 approval. The garage is 2 storeys to allow for a home office for the owners (who will live there). Staff opposed, as did not quite half of the CoA members.

I like that the lower employee entrance to the old Sears headquarters (the upside down pyramid/222 Jarvis) had stairs with a bike wheel channel in them.
