>> good afternoon, commissioners my name is jessica middleton.s born and raised within the city and county of san francisco i am the co-owner of the house adjacent to the west of 2478. my property is similar to 2478. i have a one-story home built in 1885. as sam mentioned in his consideration letter for today, i understand some of the things that he submitted to the hearing board. i don't think he mentioned it today, but he said with our two properties that are old, i understand the issues and problems that he has with his property of owning an old home. it is leaning, water leaked, near a hallway, small sized rooms, the yard is bigger then the home, and i understand the issues he is going through because my parents own this home for i believe over 20 to 30 years. i have just inherited the home approximately two years ago. i am a co-owner with my sister. what this project will provide is something that i would like to have for my children. i have always thought that our properties were historical landmarks and we cannot rebuild to make our home s
