Case is 6 oclock, amy color spokes with caller spoke with students that live nearby and said this area is normally safe. This is north street. It is not well lit. This is where the female unc student was walking when the suspect attacked her from behind. It made me really think and question the safety of the area. It was unexpected. Reporter it happened just after 2 friday morning on north street close to Martin Luther king there junior boulevard. Police tell us the student thought back and then the suspect took off. No weapon was reported and it is unclear what he was after. If that were me that is what i would like to think i would do to. But you never know reporter students learned of the assault through a campuswide email friday afternoon. This is the 3rd such incident in less than 3 months.

At this time the Department Recommends the commission to approve the project with conditions as the project is desirable and necessary and appropriately infills a vacant lot.

We did design 2655 van ness on the opposite side of this same block, a very successful project. And i think set a little bit of standard for that area for a very contextual, very well organized, well scaled building and i hope to propose to you tonight this opposite side of the block that were designing is also of that character.

With that, that concludes my presentation. And i will be happy to answer any questions. Thank you. Thank you. Project sponsor . Commissioners, my name is warner maul, design architects.
