You have heard from the neighbors. For the past four years we have been abused by manipulations and false measurements and development to seek the vastly increased size of the existing house and squeeze another house on the property. Last july responding to wide ranging misrepresentations and inappropriate revisions the Planning Commission by 51 vote issued discretionary review ordering the full restoration of the existing three story bay window on the south side of the home.

The city has had a long and complicated relationship with Small Businesses. Weve all heard the story before, and we know what usually happens to the little guys, except this time, you have a chance to change the ending. Thank you. Clerk thank you. Okay.
