i am christopher cole. i am going to be dividing this first seven minutes between myself and dick millet, who is a board member and officer of potrero boosters and testified in 1989 when the variance was denied for the same property. i sat through the hearing on the pharmacy and i heard two things mentioned during the comments of the board that i think are very important to this case as well. one is president. the other is credibility. this case was decided in 1989. the owner of 1321 applied for a reargua yard variance. it was denied. there were findings of destruction of open space for a variance of somewhat less than is being requested. without precedent, we would be deciding the same things over and over again. it should be given a lot of weight. it is not always conclusive, but it should be given a lot of weight. the findings of the zoning administrator in 1989 of detriment should be carried over into 2010. the other thing is credibility. this also talks about the 1989 decision. that was not brought to
