. >> good evening, my name is julie mckency and my husband, ken miller and i live and have owned our home at 1266th avenue for 22 and a half years. and we lived next door to the subject property. we completely support the intent to complete the much needed home improvements and to remodel and however we are extremely concerned about the negative impacts that this project in its current form will have on our home and our quality of life. and we have done our own remodel to the back of our home in 2002, bringing in a lot of light to our home, while maintaining the garden space and being mindful of the light and practice vacy to our neighbors and at least three homes have been remodeled as well and all having been respectful of the neighbors and of the open mid block community space. we had only hoped for the same consideration from the laytons. and i have here, an overview of our block. overhead? >> and as you can see, there is abundant greenry. and there are a few one story sheds across from. where the laytons are and no other home, tends anywhere near as much as this proposed project
