I hate to use a cliche, but Melissa Barbanell represents all that's wrong with this country. Is she really going to harm 5,000 people to make a point? Grow up, Melissa, grow up!

Same old story, don't do anything that is good for the majority, when it doesn't suit the minority.

Can this debate possibly be any more petty?

It's a tennis bubble in a public park! It allows people to play tennis in the colder weather. What could possibly be wrong with that? Why does this attorney care? Does she need to practice filing frivolous lawsuits?

Melissa Barbanell, what specifically is your problem with the tennis bubble? It's a temporary structure put up during the winter months to allow continued use of tennis courts during the winter. If the bubble didn't exist, thousands would have to go elsewhere and pay through the nose to keep playing tennis during the winter. Yes, Liberty Park is a historical landmark. No, it is not being harmed by this! If the park were being altered in some dramatic fashion, such as building a waterfall, adding pavement for a basketball court, etc, then maybe you would have a point. Again, what is your issue with the bubble?

Can it really be considered new construction when it's only temporary? Sounds like more of a "winter modification" to me. I don't play tennis but I think the amount of money being spent on legal procedings is a waste of tax payer money. When previous decisions are upheld I hope the city goes after Ms. Barbanell for the legal expenses.

True, the tennis bubble is pretty dang ugly, but it's only up for a couple months a year. Now that they've gone back and tried to get the correct approval, I hope this issue just dies away.

It is disappointing that the political leaders mentioned in this article attack the Historic Landmark Commission rather than the inane behaviour of those who waste taxcpayer funds on frivolous lawsuits

Does this nasty neighbor just have too much time. She said she thought the bubble was a good thing for the park, but is complaining about how they went about building it. Take a hike lady, you are wasting our money by taking this thing to court. How dumb can you be?

Who cares, the bubble has already been paid for, does anyone think those tennis courts are really historically important?

Leave the bubble up in the winter, take it down in the summer, sue the neighbor who has taken this thing to court and wasted tax dollars so she can get a taste of her own medicine.

Good night people. (and I don't even play tennis)

People, wake up! This isn't about tennis.

Thank God for people like Melissa. It is Salt Lake City that has repeatedly ignored its own ordinances and every time a municipality does the same it threatens the rights of every person commenting on this board.

People like Melissa are defending the rights of the entire community. It's just so pathetically sad when such a large swath of the "community" is too dense to grasp the real issues.

My favorite comment at the most recent Landmark’s hearing was the person who complained that those who voiced concern about the City’s failure to follow the ordinances kept using to big threatening words like “process.”
