A proposal to demolish a building housing three Meeting Street businesses was met this month with such vehement community disapproval that the architect deferred the application before a city board considered it. “As we often are in these situations, we’re really mindful that the way the BAR process is set up,” Turner said. Turner said 20th-century buildings like the 280 Meeting St. property get a lot of skepticism from the board. BAR rules state that demolition applications are to be submitted on their own merits, and replacement projects aren’t really to be considered when discussing demolition proposals. When the board next takes up the proposal, however, all submitted comments that were not read on Sept. 10 will be read then.
