当国家首都规划委员会本周晚些时候召开会议时，该委员会预计将对特朗普总统的东翼扩建计划予以批准。但这个亲特朗普的委员会也将面临持怀疑态度的公众，其中一些人预计会对近9万平方英尺的宴会厅扩建项目表示不满。
约有100人，包括建筑师、保护专家和普通市民，已报名在周四的会议上发言。发言名单中包括国家历史保护信托基金会主席卡罗尔·奎伦（Carol Quillen），该组织正起诉总统以暂停建设。
此外，国家首都规划委员会已收集了超过32,000条书面评论，该委员会称“绝大多数”评论是“反对该项目的”。这些评论已在国家首都规划委员会网站上公布，内容长达近10,000页。
评论主要针对宴会厅的规模、私人融资以及缺乏国会意见参与。
“将人民的家园变成这样一个怪物，简直荒谬至极，”苏珊·鲁伊斯（Susan Ruiz）写道。
几份评论提到了原东翼被突然拆除的问题。
负责审查东翼设计的国家首都规划委员会工作人员建议委员们批准“初步和最终的场地及建筑计划”，仅对景观和南立面柱子进行最低限度的、无约束力的调整。
投票可能在周四下午进行。这个通常现场举行的月度会议已改为线上举行。
另一个由特朗普任命者组成的监督机构——艺术委员会，在2月份的会议上仅经过短暂审议就批准了东翼的初步和最终设计方案。
此前的白宫翻新工程均经过这两个委员会数月乃至数年的审查。几份评论提到了总统推进项目的速度之快。
“这非常具体地说明了当一个领导人认为自己凌驾于规则之上时会发生什么，”评论者凯瑟琳·怀曼（Katherine Wyman）表示，“他一心想对文明和法治表示不屑。”
一旦委员会批准，施工开始前将不再需要其他审批。政府官员表示，他们最早可能在4月就开始垂直施工。
Panel reviewing Trump ballroom plans will also hear from commenters skeptical of project

When the National Capital Planning Commission convenes later this week, the panel is expected to rubber stamp President Trump’s East Wing plans. But the Trump-friendly commission will also face a skeptical public, some of whom are expected to register their dismay over the nearly 90,000-square-foot ballroom addition.
About 100 people, including architects, preservation experts and ordinary citizens, have signed up to speak at Thursday’s meeting. The roster includes Carol Quillen, president of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, a group suing the president to pause construction.
In addition, NCPC has collected more than 32,000 written comments, the “vast majority” of which are “in opposition to the project,” the commission said. Those comments, posted on the NCPC website, cover almost 10,000 pages.
The comments take aim at the ballroom’s size, its private financing and the lack of congressional input.
“To take the People’s House and turn it into a monstrosity such as that is incredibly ridiculous,” wrote Susan Ruiz.
Several mention the sudden razing of the original East Wing.
NCPC staff who reviewed the East Wing design are recommending commissioners approve “the preliminary and final site and building plans,” with minimal, non-binding tweaks to the landscape and the south facade’s columns.
A vote is likely to take place Thursday afternoon. The monthly meeting, which is usually held in person, has been moved online.
The Commission of Fine Arts, another oversight board stacked with Trump appointees, voted give the East Wing preliminary and final design approval at its February meeting after only brief consideration.
Previous White House renovations have undergone months — and at times years — of scrutiny by both panels. Several comments cited the speed at which the president has moved.
“This is a very concrete example of what happens when we have a leader who thinks he’s above the rules,” said commenter Katherine Wyman. “He lives to thumb his nose at civility and the rule of law.”
Once the commission signs off, no further approvals are needed before construction begins. Administration officials have said they could start vertical construction as soon as April.
