>> good evening, commissioners my name is paul macaluchi and i am a ten year resident of diamond heights and i am the volunteer steward for the median which is about 6, tenth of a mile of the boulevard and very close and across the street from the property that we are discussing right now. and i am here just to say two things, one we are very conscious as we replant and redesign the median, how it is going to look aesthetically with the rest of the neighborhood. and we are conscious of the trees over there currently are trees that will soon reach the end of their life span and may need to be taken out. and so what we are hoping is that we keep all of the mature trees in the neighborhood, both for the aesthetic appeal and for the wind resistance, which is important in diamond heights. the neighbors that are working as volunteers to fix the median are motivated to keep the neighborhood looking good, and we believe that keeping this tree alive and healthy is a good thing for the neighborhood. thank you. >> next speaker please? >> hello commissioners, my name is karin and i am a 21-year resi
