i live immediately next door to jean and john. we completely support the design originally proposed by them. turned planning code they could have built 2521 feet into the rear -- 21 feet into the rear yard. now it seems they are being penalized. we understand the planning department said it would have approved additional building in the rear yard. we also understand while the planning department believes the size of the floor does not bother current adjacent neighbors, it could bother future occupants of the homes. we think this speculation is unfair to jean and john. the message they seem to be saying is it is very important to accommodate families' needs in this city. this is the kind of attitude that contributes to the city's reputation of making it hard for families in the city. please approve the plans. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good evening.
