creative treatment of the fulsome street facade i think the full name street facade is a repetition of rather - god i try to be that i lit it's rather simplistic it is changing the same element and repeating it one bay over the building itself is asking for a exception exception to bulk we need to bring something forward to granting an exception i want to see a more distinction treatment on fulsome street that includes potentially how the building turns the corner onto
5:38 am
the ralph the lot which takes a good idea of townhomes coming down rachel h ralph and turning it and occupying two which on fulsome street that's our idea so i champ you to just do a little bit more. >> commissioner johnson. >> i'll support a continuance. >> just to i guess clarify i know that a lot of the language on the architecture is drawing from this mixed industrial for a
