Description
Planning Commission
A
A
B
D
I
have
also
taught
as
a
professor
at
the
University
of
Pittsburgh
and
Carnegie
Mellon,
University
and
I
am
also
an
active
member
on
the
AIA
PA
board,
which
is
the
American
Institute
of
architecture,
Pennsylvania
board,
so
yep,
that's
what
my
kind
of
experience
is
as
far
as
like
what
I've
done
and
I've
worked
on
projects
around
the
city.
Most
of
the
work
that
I
do
is
in
Community,
Development
and
higher
education.
E
Thank
you
for
for
your
willingness
to
serve
and
for
being
here
today,
and
very
patients
with
us,
I
will
possibly
ask.
Is
there
is
the
perspective
you're
bringing
do
you
believe
something
that
is
filling
a
gap
currently
at
the
Planning
Commission,
to
the
extent
that
you
are
aware
of
that,
and
my
other
question
is:
is
there?
D
I've
noticed
like
with
this
initiative,
to
bring
in
Architects
to
that
conversation
because,
as
I
work
with
clients,
day
to
day
so
like
seeing
that
kind
of
direct
influence
that
building
policy
has
on
the
built,
work,
I
think
helps
with
that.
So
I
guess
that
would
be
kind
of
summarizing
very
quickly
not
to.
F
Yeah
I'm
sort
of
curious
in
the
similar
vein
sort
of
what
would
be
your
your
Niche
different
members
of
the
commission
have
different
areas
of
Interest,
whether
it
be
you
know,
disability,
access
or
Community
engagement,
or
you
know
everyone
kind
of
has
so
so
that's
that's
interesting
and
I'm
glad
that
you'll
be
bringing
that
I.
Guess
just
one
question
in
term.
F
Well,
two
things
one
would
are:
are
there
any
do
you
have
any
thoughts,
sort
of
on
development
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
positive,
negative,
just
sort
of
overall
trends
that
you're
seeing
things
that
you
like
things
that
you
think
could
could
be
done
better
and
then
also
just
out
of
curiosity.
Are
there
any
particular
developments
that
you
really
like?
F
D
Okay,
so
I
guess
for
the
first
question
about
how
do
I
feel
about
the
way
that
Pittsburgh
is
handling
it
to
be
fair,
I've
been
in
Pittsburgh
for
just
to
give
context
for
six
years,
so
I
will
say
I'm
on
the
shallow
end
as
compared
to
a
lot
of
people.
Who've
been
here
for
10
plus
years,
I
haven't
reached
a
10
Mark
yet,
but
in
context
of
that
question,
I
would
say
from
what
I'm
seeing
I
think
inefficiency
is
probably
where
I
would
say
an
issue
more.
D
So,
on
my
end,
when
it's
like
going
through
like
the
process
of
getting
your
reviews
and
getting
things
through
and
like
getting
on
board
with
the
project
in
context
of
the
funding,
I
think
there's
kind
of
a
disconnect,
sometimes
where
it's
like.
We
need
to
get
the
funding
out
and
we
have
so
much
time
but
then
like
to
go
through
the
city.
Review
process
takes
so
much
time
and
I
find
ourselves
planning
a
lot
of
our
work
and
design
around
like
time
to
get
through
the
city.
D
Like
that's
the
major
Point,
but
like
it's
kind
of
a
interesting
issue
because,
like
you
need
to
think
about
like
who's
doing
the
work
and
there's
a
lot
like
you
can
only
do
so
much.
You
know
you
need
Manpower
and
you
need
time
to
do
that
and
so
I
don't
really
put
that
as
an
intensive
kind
of
critique.
But
it
is
one
of
the
critiques.
D
I
think
is
something
to
look
at
as
far
as
a
development
project
that
I,
like
in
the
city
so
far,
I
can
say:
there's
a
project
that
I
thought
was
nice
and
then
I
looked
more
into
it
and
then
I
kind
of
felt
bad
if
I
could
say
and
I
think
that
would
be
mainly
and
I'm.
Gonna
say
this,
but
not
to
say
that
to
shade
it,
because
I
have
gone
to
this
place.
But
I'll
put
this
out
there.
B
D
Guess
in
response
to
that
I
agree
completely,
I
would
say
it
is.
It
is
I
I
do
like
Champion
the
idea
that
this
project
need
to
kind
of
reflect
and
engage
the
culture
and
I
do
think
that
There
is
almost
a
do
not
touch
sign.
That
I
tend
to
feel
with
higher
end
buildings
in
certain
areas,
and
that
is
a
space
where
I
like
to
influence,
if
possible,
to
look
and
engage
some
of
the
projects
and
be
like.
D
How
are
you
looking
at
your
Landscaping,
because
even
projects
that
don't
have
a
program
for
the
community
can
still
serve
the
community
and
the
way
that
they
provide
space
for
the
community
to
gather
around
their
projects?
So
I
want
to
say
that
I
totally
agree
with
that
and
I
think
that's
definitely
a
direction
that
Pittsburgh
needs
to
be
thinking
about
as
it
develops
further.
So.
B
Thank
you
appreciate
your
time.
We
are
also
joined
by
councilman
Krauss.
Just
for
the
record.
If
there's
nothing
else
for
members,
we
will
adjourn
our
pre-agenda
meeting.
Thank
you
for
your
willingness
to
serve
we'll
adjourn,
we'll
take
a
brief
recess
and
then
convene
for
our
standing
committee
agenda.
