mr. sheard -- last drawing that mr. sheard had up basically shows that it's at grade. this is a 40-foot hide, 40-x. the project could have been taller. changes were made in recognition of uphill neighbors prior to the first neighborhood meeting. the fact that the changes were made when the neighborhood challenged doesn't mean there's no reflection of the concern from uphill neighbors of this property. and in terms of mr. sheard's comments that he really didn't raise these issues with the planning commission, i've read his brief to the planning commissions, the d.r. hearing, it's almost identical to the brief that was submitted to this board. i want to just focus on the few issues that remain, president swig. you look at a-303, the east elevation, the window that was going to be opaque, there will be a screen at the second deck. it's the first-floor windows -- >> if you could just put that on the overhead so you could show us the windows you're pointing out, please. >> going to be the first-floor windows right here, one horizontal, one vertical. both of these windows co

mr. sheard. >> overhead. you can see the height in there is exactly the same. these are what came with the brief, and these are the plans. they're the same, so they may have done sort of outdoing the height earlier, but i agree what was said at the d.r. request, president hillis said quite clearly he wouldn't like kindly on increasing the height. as for the depth of the building, the buildidepth of t building is the most you can build on that lot. it is right on the back of the lot. my lot came out to the lines. and you still have to have 25%. that's why that's like it is. this step back is back of the r.d.g.s -- this step back is because of the r.d.g.s. being a novice at that, i thought i can shoot down this building because it's way smaller than everything else at the block. that didn't go good. i didn't bring out much of the privacy stuff. i through in a bucket of stuff in the brief and just focused on matters of the building and it didn't work. what they did talk about on the d.r. was the second floor deck, and we all seem to have problems about how many de

mr. sheard. >> good evening. welcome. temperature final consideration tonight. >> yes. i have to say happy birthday to you. >> thank you. >> i'm going to use the overhead. >> overhead please. thank you. >> got to deal with positioning, don't we? >> face it as if you are looking at it, sir. >> hi. my name is paul sheard and live next door to 463 duncan. i have a good size garden on the other side, as you can see. this is a picture on there overhead from winter. i can flip that and show you what it looks like in summer. that is a more recent picture. the house and the garden have been my home for over 20 years and i man to retire and grow even older there, but ever go in the further, let me be clear. i am not trying to stop this project. it's going to get built, maybe with the facade, but the actual development going to go ahead, some manner, some form, and some impact to my light and privacy which are the two main issues. that is a given. through some elements of the plan that are excessive and simple modifications which won't change the cost of the project and no other
