that's not in the job description of lieutenant gallagh gallagher. he did that because that's what so many of our first responders do. they go above and beyond the call of duty to respond to people in need. so i want to give a shout-out to lieutenant gallagher, but i want to point out the moores even in their grief asked me to mention lieutenant gallagher, and that says something about them as well. in that spir that spirit and sense of togetherness and looking out for one another, that's what's going to carry us through this tragedy. it's not going to be easy. there's still going to be, believe it or not, some complaints over the next several months. not everybody is going to be satisfied. i have to tell you, the insurance companies and some of the other private sector folks who are involved in this, we need you to show some heart and spirit helping people rebuild as well. when i hear the story of the moores and i hear about lieutenant gallagher, that's what makes me confident we're going to be able to rebuild. i'm very proud of you, new york. you g

next speaker. >> my name is patricia lovelock and i'm here to support miss gallagher's appeal. i was one of the people at the meeting which the historian for 30-45 minutes sat in supervisor farrell's office and very calmly and very competently described what he had viewed personally as the archaeological remains at the summit. at that time, we were told, i believe it was primarily -- that they would be looking into that. we have been asking for documents. since oh, i don't know, maybe the last hearing i have been trying to get hold of the mayor's office on disability and mr. kevin jensen regard something questions with the ada. no response except for one partially responsive answer. i don't understand city people not providing questions to their constituency. i am a disabled individual. right now the road to the shed requires that the cars pass over the ada access path. that is very dangerous for people who may be using that. we have seen cars in that park for years. we have photographs of cars in the park that are from the people from raj goldberg. i rec and park and i have a

miss gallagher raises a number of issues in her brief. i'm only going to spend a brief time going over them, because many of them are simply reiterations of issues raised at previous hearings. the first being that this facility is going to block views. we do not believe that is the case and we believe that our appendix or exhibit b illustrates that. this container storage is only 9.5' tall. it's set into the landscape. shielded by trees. and the top of the roof is lower than the horizon. i don't think in any way we could say this is blocking views. in fact, the site was specifically identified as the location with the least impact of views at the site. second, she talked a lot about harming archaeological resources. this is a ceqa issue which you may hear about from our representatives from city planning. we just want to say that we don't have any evidence there is any archaeological resources on the site. it's defined very clearly through ceqa what is an archaeological resource and we have confirmation from city staff and planninging tha

and obtained prior to construction, and which delayed the construction should not be blamed miss gallagher, but clearly somebody else's oversight. and recently i have learned that the construction includes building of a green waste area. and and to have this green waste area located in the middle of the park on the summit, seems to be very, very poor choice and poor decision, and to allow the dump trucks basically to be able to drive through the park across the park to get to this green waste area also seems to be very, very poor planning. having a plaza park a few blocks away would not increase driving and this park already has an area that is used for green waste. and it's nicely blocked with trees, and would not be as obtruive. the with i think the overall quality of the project management is not up to par. i'm speaking from a professional standpoint, x thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker. >> my name is patricia lovelock and i'm here to support miss gallagher's appeal. i was one of the people at the meeting which the historian for 30-45 minutes sat in supervisor farrell's of
