The Coalition for a Better Waterfront along with the Quality of Life Coalition and a number of individuals, also mounted a serious legal challenge to the North Pier project. Attorney Jonathan Drill of Stickel Koenig & Sullivan represented these objectors before the Planning Board. Drill presented their legal case against pier development in a letter to the Planning Board dated November 14, 2000. The major legal argument set forth in this letter emphasized that the local zoning ordinance requires that planned developments must "create a development block pattern" which by definition is bounded by streets.
