Update on the fight over the McMansion ordinance in Central East Austin (updated)

Dee Copeland at Texas Realty Blog has a nice update on OCEAN's attempt to repeal the McMansion ordinance's minimum floor-to-area ratio for Central East Austin homes.  Quite predictably, OCEAN is getting pushback from the small lot owners who would be hurt by this change.

The opposition is being spearheaded by "Hollywood" Henderson.  You can read his "Dear Neighbor" letter/petition at Dee's blog.

Update:  City Council denied the amendment unanimously.
