Great.

Member of the Public - Richard Lobel

So we can stop there.

Member of the Public - Richard Lobel

Just to reiterate, the community board was very pleased with this application.

Member of the Public - Richard Lobel

As evidenced by the vote, had limited comments.

Member of the Public - Richard Lobel

The building itself they saw as contextual with the surrounding area.

Member of the Public - Richard Lobel

They appreciated that the height was comparable to buildings to the north and south of the property at six stories, despite the fact that those buildings are also within an R12A district.

Member of the Public - Richard Lobel

We appreciate and thank Councilmember Shulman for her guidance during this process.

Member of the Public - Richard Lobel

We've had some very open conversations with her office, her and the community.

Member of the Public - Richard Lobel

This is a valued nonprofit with services which were provided to the entire community in terms of child care and care of teenagers after school.

Member of the Public - Richard Lobel

And so we're happy and hopefully we'll have the support of the council.

Member of the Public - Richard Lobel

And with that, we're happy to answer any questions.
