But its certainly not this building at all. It talks about this building being out of context with the neighborhood buildings and its not true at all. Its very much in context with it. I guess without repeating what ms. Tam said its basically not a historic resource. It lost all of its inintegritiy and nothing significant happened here and thats why its not part of the Historic District but in term was an electic districts and Tall Buildings and newer buildings and it fits into a eclectic mix so i want to encourage you to support the categorical exemption determined by the Planning Department, and not accept this appeal and i will leave the last two minutes unplanned to bruno.

Where we started. We since removed the roof top penthouse with elevator and the pits in order to preserve the views of the roof top for the neighbor. It was important to retain accessibility to the area and my parents are elderly and one is wheelchair bound and this was a concession in the attempts that we gave concession to the neighbor by removing the top portions of the building and the front of the building.

Based on concerns we made significant changes before submitting to the Planning Department. We worked closely with the Planning Department for the design of the house. Its a straightforward project that complies with the zoning code and residential guidelines as you heard from the department. This is not a demolition, not in the nearest sense. It is an alteration and all of the structure issues brought up are typical issues resolved in the department of building inspection through their process. After several reviews the remodel is supported by the Residential Design Team who we worked with closely because this neighbor would not work with us. At the hearing requested by the appellant the Commission Voted unanimously in support of our project an ....
