i have worked with mr. hawes for several years to see if we can resolve with developing this property without the negative and destroying it. to this end. i want to have a letter given to you by verner associated and other preservation architects because the issue really here is there is no disagreement between us an your staff as to the historic resources and one of the key historic defining features is going from one story to 2 stories which is now being removed. the difference is that, in the kad exemption, your staff has found that those changes would fully comply with the secretary of standards and would therefore not have a significant impact. this report clearly if you look at the summary of it, the last paragraph on page 5, it says proposed project fails to comply with standard 2, 3, 5, 9, 10. the significant breach of standards and opinion is not only consistent with those standards and cause impact on the environmental structure and second floor over the garage, not only destroys the design relationship
