policing in the city of new york. upon the governor of the state of new york, governor cuomo, to appoint a special prosecutor in cases of egregious police misconduct. so there is an independent prosecutor. local prosecutors rely on the police department for their re-elections. we know there's an inherent conflict with police officers. that's why we need an independent special prosecutor to prosecute cases of police misconduct. last but not least in new york state we need sunshine particularly as it relates to the grand jury proceeding. i'm asking district attorney donovan to release not part, not some but all the grand jury proceedings in this case so the garner family will know why they did not get an indictment. america will not know why we did not get an indictment. because we all saw the video. the video did not lie. our eyes did not lie and the video speaks for itself. it was unreasonable. it was excessive force. just is not perfect. just will be served either on the federal level, in a civil level or in some form

looking at the new shadow that would occur on the park from the project at 800 indiana the new shadow would occur during the fall and winter months from october to march and occur in the late afternoon within the last two hours of the solar day. the memo provides guidance how to look at shadow impacts and it looks at the solar day which ends one hour before sunset so this project the shadow would occur during the last two hours of the solar day. the average duration of the shadow is 45 minutes and ranges from 37 minutes to one hour and 54 minutes and the area of the park that would be shadowed by the proposed building is the southern portion of the park. i will show an image of that in a moment. so the guidance from the 1989 memo provides policy criteria for both smaller parks under 2-acres and large parkers so what it says that parks with less 2 acres in size that are already shadowed by 20% no additional shadow should be permitted. parks more than 2 acres when shaded less than 20% an additional 1% shadow load should be permitted, so as i said esprit park is 1.83 acres and the metric
