If The Junior League House is made into a landmark, then as far as I know this does not have an impact on what the city can or cannot do with Bartlett Street. I am told it would have drawings for access to and from the site. My understanding is that the Bartlett Street proposal number three does not impact Leeper Park. If it does not impact Leeper Park it may not necessarily come before us.
