my name is craig gene wood, i am the property owner and the permit owner. the way i am going to present is to provide you with a background in history because i think it is very important for the context of the case. then i will talk a bit about the project and a privacy issue which is the main issue here. my architect, dean martelli of walker moody is here to answer any questions you may have with respect to height limits and grade lines. this is a picture of the property right here. my wife and i moved in to the property as renters in 2001. in 2004 we purchased the property and received multiple notices of violations. i spoke to the neighbor whose received multiple notices of violations. if you turn to exhibit c in your brief, i'm sorry the briefs are not tabbed. ther there is a memorandum from the previous zoning administrator, larry badner, you probably have read it. i won't get into that, but the memo describes what i was trying to do for two years to comply with the multiple notices of violations. describes the state of neighborhood relations in 2006
