>> rick suka, staff. mr.
moore is referring to our
ground floor guidelines.
typically we like to have units
along the street to help
activate the area. typically
we look at the overall benefit
of the project, the specifics
of the street and the overall
development. the raising and
introduction of stoops is a
pretty common method that we
will look at. in this instance
we have the architect had
originally proposed a kind of
forecourt like private entry
way into that provided a buffer
to the street and then to the
unit, which we didn't find very
favorable considering the kind
of shade that it would cast on
the street and given the
constraints of the overall
height it wasn't -- we were, we
found the current design
acceptable relative to that.
