question would be, my reading of that terror rough but was pointed to by the appellant says respondents, dtw, and a permit holder have to submit briefs. it does not say they have to respond to any questions asked by the government. is that a proper reading of that paragraph? >> yes, but was the date by which the permit holder and the department could submit a brees. >> right, but there is no legal requirement that in order to be heard before the sword of specific questions be answered that are proposed by an appellant? >> the increase can contain whatever the appellant wishes. >> unless someone wants to make a motion to continue. >> i think that maybe it a correct the termination. we have heard from the appellant she would like more time to get their response, and if no response is going to be given, there is no reason to extend the time. what is your position? >> we would like it to be issued. it has been about six months, and we would like to continue construction. >> you would object to continuances? >> we would object to a continuance, but i just handed and jon vaughfung the brief, so he

i will try to summarize, and there are simply two graphs that i asked the dtw to ask to take out of thereport, because they are inaccurate and misleading. the rest of the report, i had no issue whether it was accurate. i will show you the graphs and try to explain it very quickly. thises a cartoon-like craft. the rest of the report is very professional, but this is a power density, and this is relating to and can thus -- to the antenna. they say there are two antennas, the maximum in the neighborhood and 0.1 of the average, so it is a cartoon graf not worthy of proper engineering, because in the same report, thises the actual lab here regard now this is 200 feet. the number would be 20, get a claim here it is a maximum of one, and the average is 0.1. i am simply -- i asked them to remove this particular plot. it is misleading, and engineers and love their data for accuracy, but this is not. based on this, i say where are the measurements? i asked the dtw to insist where are these measurements, and i did not want to hear that it was just fccc. i am asking them to kindly remove this. it i

>> i am with dtw project management.y did their best, i think, to anticipate all aspects of design for the project. in truth, as they get underway, there is an iterative process that gets flushed out that, arguably, could not have been understood at the outset. some of them are apparent. window coverings, for one. the smart solution would be to have the builder do much of the work under their mantel. trying to gear up the effort to do that work, i think it is more efficient and more effective, and probably more cost savings regarding having it under one authority, service beat, rather than splitting it up. regarding the telecom aspect, there are parts that the city allows others to do. supervisor chu: we need your read it makes total sense. i want -- i wonder, did we realize the standards that we had negotiated previously were not up to the standards for the fire station? >> when they suggested that the idea of shower curtains, like when you buy a place and decide to upgrade, the amount of shower is taking place, there a

hughes said that dtw didn't want -- did not think that the five- foot accommodation was going to be sufficient>> my understanding was that by having the sidewalk be a foot wide, the railing was in line with all of the street furniture that is closer to the curb like the trees, the newspaper stands, all of that. if we move it closer to the building, you end up with a rail that if you are not paying attention, you might end up walking right into the rail at your traversing down the street. >> i think i don't understand the parking peace. i am having a hard time understanding how that is an issue. if you are parking at a slant and you need to get on the curb any way, you need to find a curb cut if you have a wheelchair. >> sorry, none of these essays -- spaces are wheelchair accessible. what i am imagining is that people who would be parking here would be able-bodied or if they have hawkers or crutches or other mobility aids. they may have wheelchairs', but these are not designated parking spaces for people with disabilities. d're just regular parking spaces. >> how does the ramp and packed parki
