i'm dan gershwin representing the project sponsor, laurel height's partners llc. with me is my colleague, greg miller. supervisors, out of respect for your time and given the comprehensive staff, i don't plan to use my full 15 minutes. i would like to focus principallably on the sequa appeal and i would say why they fail to meet burden and lack merit and finally, i will address the arguments raised by appellant in a letter submitted this morning. sequa is a disclosure of law requiring an eir informs decision-makers as they consider project approval. a standard on to approval is whether the eir is adequate and correct in its conclusions based on substantial evidence. as you've heard from staff and as you've seen in the planning department's appeal, this eir meets and exceeds those standards. appellants documenant's argumene contrary are without merit. similarly, for the map approval, dpw was required to support record evidence. as explained by city staff, the record contains extensive information in these findings, including that the project is desirable for and co

and it would involve less excavation of green space on laurel hill and be built in approximately four years rather than the 7 to 15 years that the developer would take. and giving the developer 15 years to build does not address the city's current housing crisis and will have no effect on reducing the price of housing if new housing is phased in over 15 years. the community alternative has much detail as the alternative's presented in the eir and sequa does not require an alternative to contain architectural drawings. they are assuming it would be larger than the developer's unit sizes and have double corridors, excessive space and other things that they didn't have. so they would fit with two and three-usthree-bedroom units andt use bigger units. much adieu is made about the pathway the developer wants to cut through the middle of the main building, which is being used as an inadequate and ambiguous basis for rejecting alternatives. and city staff did not request that the developer cut a 40-foot wide hole in the middle and requested a north-south pathway or portal that could meander
