The Glen Cove City Council heard a variety of reactions Thursday from residents for and against - some passionately so - the proposal to build 23 duplex buildings on 17 acres in the northeast corner of the Glen Cove Mansion property.

Others conceded that it may be a move the Mansion needs to make in order to remain a viable commercial entity, and to preserve the historic former Pratt estate building and surrounding grounds.
