That gets built. With the setback as it is now along the side, it gives room for plantings. We can do an attractive exterior. And, yes, the zuckers will see this and they may prefer not to see this. [multiple voices] if its setback only two feet, its not going to add a lot to their experience. Right. How much is the building setback now from the Property Line . I believe that is three feet. The only thing there i would entertain is a setback on that, but im open to commissioner comments. Commiss...

The dr requestors. When i spoke to mr. Zucker a couple weeks ago, we provided a detailed elevation facing him so he could understand what it was we were proposing, but it really came down to whether we were willing to agree to reduce our extension to the rear. And we need to extend to the rear if this is going to be a feasible project. It really just doesnt make sense for this family if we cant get that family room. Thank you very much. Thank you. Is there public testimony from supporters of the...

Okay. This question is for staff. On third street along that block, whats on the other side of the street . The opposite side of this is an existing condominium oh.

Yeah, the chase is already there. Okay. Thank you very much. Are there any questions or comments . I just have a comment. The color is very nice. You need more of i...

Both of the original structure and the plans approved for the variance do not compromise. Let us not forget the longterm consequences of the current overall project design. Not only will significant views be lost, views of the park surrounding the tower will also be lost forever. From the high rise buildings in the financial district. Those viewing the tower from ground level will see if anything, only the bit of the tower for a sheer wall glass. All traces of the hillside will be lost. Im not s...

In this particular area. There is something down there the water cant get passed and it backs up into our cellar. I would also to reinforce the transit issue. You cant believe the problems wei weve had. We built a large fence as high and we actually watch people jump over the fence. It is very very high and we still put the bars close enough but somehow they do, its become a big problem. While we are happy to see that the latest plans are to restore the cottages to the original plan. They requir...

In the financial district. Those viewing the tower from ground level will see if anything, only the bit of the tower for a sheer wall glass. All traces of the hillside will be lost. Im not sure what the hooit height is and i find it very difficult to understand how you can ignore these huge impacts in such important landmarks. Future generations will never be able to fully enjoy grand gestures as we do today. Please find a solution that is more respectful of this landmark and comply with the ver...

After our action today. I wanted to jump into a little bit of detail about how we are going to resolve some of the issues. In particular ground floor activation. So, commissioner ellington got to a little bit of that when you were talking about entrances on first street. I would like to hear more thoughts maybe from the architect on how we are going to get to some compromise on ground floor activation because the parking is on the ground floor that lovely sort of courtyard which i understand is ...
