. >> i am audrey cole. i was first introduced to the open space through a garden club which i am also involved with which is on that same block of the property we are discussing. this location had a regular garden, a regular back yard. it opened out onto the open space, both the backyard and the open space. i do not know if you have been there, but it is a marvelous benefit. it is a gem for potrero hill. it is unique. it is therefore the neighborhood to take advantage of. i do not see any reason why this new building needs to have a variance for the yard at all. none of the other places abutting the open space do. i am against the variance for that reason. thank you. president peterson: mr. kohl, are you finished with your time? >> one minute 38. >> we have plenty of time. let me get started a little bit on the easement so it is on your minds when the developer talks. we attached copies to the opening brief. i briefed it extensively. an easement is a right to use land in a limited manner. hear, the easement
