Notice has a description that referenced a four story project. It definitely referenced the newer plans. They are not what the old plans were, as mentioned. Thank you. Commissioners the matter is submitted. Time is over. I will start. One, it is really difficult to hear a case just orally, and that is why briefs are submitted and had certain questions been asked maybe some of those could have been answered here this evening. Other than that, i feel that this is a conforming project. It has gone on a long time there. Are no exemptions, no rare variances required. I feel a reason to deny the appeal and accept the project as it is. So if those plans if the correct plans would have been sent out, and that is the big thing in this conversation tonight, if those plans, the right plans would have come out and there would have been a Community Uproar on those plans for the reasons that have been also mentioned tonight, which is primarily the fourth floor and some view quarters, i would have lo

I did review the 311 notice and the plans that were provided by the neighbor. It was clear that the notice itself was the new notice from 2017. It clearly stated it was going to four stories. The plans that they have are the old plans from 2013, 2014. I have no way of knowing if those are the plans that were included with that notice last year because those plans were only dated as to when they were, you know, drawn by the designer. Not when they were mailed out or included in the 311 packet. So i cant corroborate that is the those are the actual plans that were sent with that 311 notice, whether thats the truth or not. All i do know that issue was not raised in the appeal. It was not raised in a brief. It has not been raised by any neighbors to our knowledge to either the project sponsor or the department staff. That includes potentially being raised by the neighbor to the north who originally dred the project and chose not to dr it based on revised plans. In order to get anymore info
Keeping hard copies of jobs that go out in terms how long they keep those physical documents. I havent had a chance to request that.
