Consider hamburger marys a formula restaurant because its independently owned and management and i think that needs to be mentioned at least once. Thank you. President cindy wu thank you. Next speaker . Good afternoon commissioners. My name is allen nelson. I live in the neighborhood. The discussion on this project with extensive outreach, in fact we did an unprecedented thing. We for the First Time Ever put a vote to all the membership. Normally its 10 percent of the membership, if they show up to the meeting we base that attendance on the 10 percent. We ended up doing an online audited vote and im happy to say that we had 60 percent turnout about triple what our last election had and out of that election, 31 was in favor of this project. So that was 109 people in favor of it, 42 opposed to it and for that reason, we strongly support this project. One of the thing we did talk about was ensuring that the community had some safe guards above and beyond just the standard condition of use
To the variance request hearing. It was continued. The way the timelines work, i was forced to file a discretionary review request without actually knowing what the outcome of the variance request was going to be and there are three projects.

I wanted to focus on the fabric of state street and concerned about this variance that impact it will have on the community on state street. From thi
Variance is required. A variance could be justified for this location however i have concern about the overall scope of the overall project and neighbor project proposed here would not be one granted a variance. Seeing there is willingness for everyone to get together and discuss alternatives and im happy there was some discussion and alternatives discussed and im disappointed it did not carry it through and not before the commission here today but removing that third story would be more ceptable in terms of the variance and what came to light at the hearing was the tree issue and that i did have questions and concerns about. I know the department of public works is very diligent in terms of reviewing applications and they only remove trees when its been warranted and there has been a hearing on it and they may make a decision and that will be appealed to the board of appeals which gives me a little bit of pause honestly in having a decision right annoy. Now. I would be really hesitant
