john nolty, please go ahead. >> hi. can you hear me? >> clerk: yes, go ahead. >> thank you. hi, commissioners. my concern is the tree, as stated, a gingko was one of the top 20 trees planted in san francisco, and it was underperforming, as stated by mr. -- by chris buck, and the issue is at hand here is it has possibly a small root ball, so the problem i have it how much are you going to dig up, the root ball so you can move it a couple of feet? how much of the street are you going to go into to tear up that root ball so you can move it a couple of feet? that's the question. it's not inches, we're talking about feet of dirt that you have to take out to move it. so i'm concerned about the procedure here and the precedent that we've set in san francisco. i've heard about moving houses, but i've not heard about moving established trees to another location in hearings, so i think we're getting into sort of another precedent that's being done today, so that's why i'm glad that josh brought it up. thank you. >> clerk: thank you. is there any further public comment? i see one hand.
