peeling paint, nonhistoric aluminum, sliding windows, inconsistent design, poor maintenance. this is a new building that was built towards of the end of the block. it's new construction. we consider that our design has a lot more warmth and character and relief in the facade, but yeah, it's -- i don't know if this is [ inaudible ] protested. and then, the only other thing i'd like to say is part of the appeal requested that we agree to pay for cleanings of the adjacent properties within a 100-foot radius. i would ask the owners of the houses who have attended this meeting if they would agree that every time they paint their house in the future, if they would agree to also clean every property within 100 feet? we don't think it's a reasonable request. other things such as building a fence at the rear to protect the properties behind us once the garage is gone, we agree to that. it's totally reasonable. we of course will maintain public access to the sidewalk. we reserve the right to use the portion of the sidewalk which is on our property, and of course, any sorts of pests tha
