You also wrote, “Earlier this month, a developer began the application process to construct two buildings that will comprise a 30-unit apartment complex on the site of the synagogue. Beaverton architecture firm Stewart Gordon Straus put in an early assistance intake application, which comes prior to submitting a building permit, on July 17, the Portland Chronicle reported today.” True that he began an application process, but not to construct ANYTHING on that lot. He was merely seeking to remove utility easements for someone to potentially build in the future.

The bottom line is that this hack job lacked the proper research and now you seem to be doubling down on your mistake instead of completely revising it or removing it.
