mr. shadhadi, and i am sorry but you cannot speak in public comment. if you wish to speak in the time of your attorney, speak to him. is there any other public comment? seeing none, we can move into a bottle. -- into rebuttal. >> thank you for listening to me today. i wanted to comment on ike's place as a coffee shop. when it first opened as an espresso bar and the like sandwiches, unfortunately customers were not showing up for the coffee and the ice cream. they started only showing up for the sandwiches. that is how the space became a sandwich shop. i think the complaints that were made to planning were not legitimate complaints. they were just made with the intent of garnering a payoff from ike's place. how do i know that? the first was for $8,000 worth of damages to pay for having a sandwich shop underneath. after that, when complete started coming in, they tripled the number to over $3 million. that is how i can say the complaints were not legitimate. if you look at the history of what happened over the past year and a half, just half a block away
