Charles Sloan is Wrong

In 1999 while lobbying to have a house denied in front of the Windover Heights Board of Review, Chuck Sloan stated:

"This board approved the Anderson application I guess it was last year. Look at the Anderson house. Look at the characteristics that it picks up. If you look at that house closely you can see a lot of features that are repeated throughout the neighborhood. Turrets, the shingles, but look at this house that you are looking at tonight. It is totally unique as Mr. Lillis says - that much mass in the roof - there is not style to that house. It is a hodge podge design. It is southern living and we don't have southern living here. We have a lot of eclectic houses that give a lot of vibrancy to this neighborhood, but we don't have massive houses that look like this that pick up nothing of anything around that neighborhood. Any house you consider must have scale with the other houses in the neighborhood. Like the Anderson house this particular location is critical to the District because it is a very prominent corner. It is a very, very important piece of property. The scale of this house is wrong. Its overpowering. Its massive. Its hodge podge"

Mr. Sloan was dead wrong. The Anderson house never received any review. Unfortunately for the man Sloan was lobbying against, he never got his house. Sloan used fraudulent information to sway the vote.

Some people ask, "why would anyone want to leave the historic district?" The real question to ask: "Who would ever want to subject their property rights to such childish nonsense?"
