mr. herman i want to thank the commission for voicing my concerns. i live on 448 duncan street right across in the proposed project i will there with my wife and daughter we've been living in this neighborhood for over 18 years now and really like the character of the neighborhood it has a small hometown feeling a lot of the simple homes not two big and older so we want to preserve the character of the neighborhood the way it is and that's why we're quite concerned about the proposed structure of the new building. i agree it is too big i think that this fourth level penthouse with the roof-deck will also have a negative impact the noise and the privacy of our neighborhood. i live about two houses uphill from the proposed site and people are on the roof-deck a they'll directly see into my living room and one of my bedroom windows where my little daughter is sleeping i'm concerned that is an impact on our privacy and also concerned about the potential noise so in enclosure i'd like to ask you, please request the removal of the fourth floor with the pen
