This first meeting of Comprehensive Planning Division (Department of Environment Protection of Taipei City Government) review Taipei Twin Towers Development today. The meeting discuss design issues to current proposal and ask addition information for next meeting. For me, the biggest problem is they add ground-floored car park inside building podium, and cause height of building podium over 48m. In the result, it violate condition of agreement sign with Taipei City Government. Under condition written in contract, developer is not allowed to propose podium over 48m height. In other words, building podium cannot be higher than Taipei Main Station.
