Summary
Before selling the city-owned property across from City Hall, the council had to record an easement preserving the historic view from the Blair House — capping building heights on the parking lot's south end. Neighbors and preservation advocates objected that the easement protects only one view and that the matter is tied up in litigation.

Impact analysis
Historic preservation interests and the Blair House property owners gain a protected view; the city can proceed with the land sale.
Nearby residents who say the easement is too narrow, and the development's opponents, who see it as locking in an unwanted apartment project.
