Again, to demolish Historic Resource in my community over these numbers, it doesnt add up for me. Im sorry. When i look at the page s28, the partial preservation alternative, how it doesnt meet your objective four which is the open space in the backyard and number five, the profit. I would respectfully act that there is a Second Opinion on the soundness of the building and see the actual numbers on why it doesnt add up when you actually get more in return in the final in the partial preserv
