At issue also was the actual value <br /> - - of the sculpture since certain items were included in the appraisal that <br /> the PAAC did not believe should have been included. Applicant said <br /> they would re-evaluate the valuation. Additionally, the Applicant <br /> requested that each PAAC member make a site visit to understand the <br /> site constraints between that meeting and a newly scheduled special <br /> meeting for August 19th for the purpose of reconsidering this issue. <br /> 62 <br />
