but i would kind of agree with what mr. paul had said and that was a situation whereby we have the matching light wells and we continue this -- i think he described a 30-for loo long -- 30-foot long. the remaining so feet would be a light well. it should let a lot of light in there. mr. paul, if i could ask you a question. there's the two solutions that have been forward. the first solution is yours which is moving those property line windows to put them at a position where they align with the 30-foot long light well and the other solution which was proposed by dmpt r. requester was to leave the windows and have a second light well that adjoins the two northern most windows because i believe those are the ones that are stacked and then the one window that is to the south would already be included in your existing well, i believe. >> yes, that's correct. >> i'm just saying why that is less desirable because it looks like in their proposal your well ends during the middle portion between their two light wells. so you actually woul

mr. paul, can you explain the dimensions there? i know it was not in your proposal but that is what we had in mind. >> yes, we would to a 3 foot 6 inch light well to accommodate those property line windows at the northwest corner. there is a real problem created with ada access in our corridor with a 9 inch difference at that light well. we could to 3 ft. 9 at the forward. that forces us to make changes that become very complicated and difficult. >> another question, the wit of your property is 25 feet, i believe. >> 5 feet. 5 feet. >> yes, that is fine. >> when a door opened into his space, that dimension does from 4 feet to 5 feet. any space that we open up, when we open up the door at the end of that corridor, we still have to have at least a depth of 5 feet to remain from that point in order to have the legal access. they have to be minimally 48 as a minimum and that is only in the case with the doors to open into them. thank you. >> why don't you just swing the door from the other side? >> if you are going down that way, we ha
