ms. burell's brief was drafted -- drafted by the architect. he says the decking does present if you and obstruction problem but he concludes this is the city and it is dense, tough luck. no one should expect any privacy or views in san francisco. he also makes a couple of other arguments. first he states the proposed decking system is consistent with the maryland lab -- mira loma neverland standards. this demonstrates quite the opposite. there is a letter that was offered by the mira loma improvement club, signed by the president of that organization, cassaundra davis. i believe that is in your packet. i want to draw your attention to language in that letter, suggesting that the board of permit appeals consider the modification of the building permit to eliminate or at least to minimize the proposed second floor that is the upper deck that looks into the bayview window of dr. maxon's home while allowing the first floor or lower deck to be constructed. mr. zapone is therefore wrong about the compliance of this design with the neighborhood stand
