um, in reference to guidelines that um were we have to follow basically by sequa and by the board, as they relate to the preservation alternatives. yes i think that the preservation alternatives does need to be fleshed out. i don't think the preservation alternatives mean that muster in my mind as a preservation alternative. commissioner baldauf again, i mean, just to read, mind you, this hearing today is to provide to is to give you the opportunity to provide that input to staff and to the document itself with your recommendations. so again, it's not really about the project. it's about the secret document. and the preservation alternatives. and and i guess the other question i would have and so that that's the extent of my comment then is that i would like to see, um, a more robust preservation alternate and explanations for the rejection that have been made of alternatives and the other question i have, and i don't know whether this is appropriate again. so i apologize if it's not, is um, what there's a lot of discussion about, um, technical matters and the zero grade that it got a
