David, the question of the "great weight" that the ANC is supposed to be given was addressed by the DC Court of Appeals (i.e., the District of Columbia's highest court which is not to be confused with the federal court that sits in DC; also, the same court to which the Capitol Hill Restoration Society appealed the Mayor's Agent's decision about the Heritage Foundation building) a some thirty years ago. I don't have the citation but have looked it up.

In effect, as long as the HPRB addresses the points raised by the ANC that is considered to be enough to meet the "great weight" requirement. In other words, "great weight" is meaningless and kind of a pitiful joke.
