the eastern neighborhoods significant impact to a significant development including the uses along the street with the noise levels above the daylight areas of 60 decibels. basically it was flawed and the noise report was not done by a professional and the person who had no special requirements claimed that he did not need any when he was asked by mother. the report does not mention anything with the noise generators within 900 feet of line of site. and lewis says that it does in the mp d and for example, there is (inaudible) next door and a few nights ago i heard them testing the audio sound and so they are going to have noise at all hours of the day. the other problems with the report, the hourly noise reports show up from 11:30 to... from 11:30 p.m. to 11:30 on different days and the requirement should be that the measurements were taken every 15 minutes and this is not acceptable at all. i urge you to at least consider this when you are making your decision, thank you. >> thank you. >> with the commission's permission, mary who could not speed is asking me to read the statement. >>

as asked for in the eastern neighborhood there is vital it and life. we have a place for parking benches and is retail is in back of that. this plan shows the terrace level with that open space in green and then the open space on brandon in green and the current location on yellow that activates that court yard it's about enough space for a small retail or restaurants. we anticipate food service so we're going to accommodate egresses hoods. the brandon street court yard is seen as a way to enter the building quietly. we're creating an opportunity for the building to increase air and light from the windows. it's a nice public space there. there's no art required in the district but art is an important part of the culture so you see the type of art we imagine visually seeing. the working place is about 35 thousand square feet and we'll put the mechanic space across the street and this is the level that has the terraced. the facade is primarily brick without the windows. with a highly tuned exterior skin for thermal comfort. by having that side core build
