I would like while we have the while we have the slide before you to to go into some depth on the public on the public engagement.
0:59:10
As counsel member many noted, the community board April is approved by a vote of 24010 with conditions the application.
0:59:18
With regard to HEIGHT, I'd like to read you that condition that the new Pavilion meet the highest standards of oh, I'm sorry.
0:59:26
I started off on the wrong one.
0:59:28
A design that meets the needs of MSK to care for the proposed increase in cancer patients in a lower profile structure than currently proposed.
0:59:37
So they they within their resolution recognize that this all has to be done within the mission of MSK and without undercutting its ability to respond to the to the needs that doctor's figures and and Devon have have stated before you today.
0:59:53
With regard to the bureau president, the bureau president recommended approval of the application without condition on height, And with regard to the city planning commission, they also approved the application unanimously.
1:00:06
They did reference a hike and said they found the hike appropriate.
1:00:10
During that hearing, nine people spoke in favor of the application and 3 people spoke in opposition to the application.
1:00:19
Briefly discussing the environmental impacts on the next slide, please.
1:00:26
We have no permanent impacts identified in the FEIS on-site.
1:00:32
Our building once built will cast a shadow on certain windows of a nearby church and that has triggered a shadow impact.
1:00:43
We are talking to the church.
1:00:46
We have some thoughts about how to address that.
1:00:48
We won't really be able to nail it down until the building is built to the point where those shadows can be confirmed and studied, but we're fully prepared to mitigate that aspect that is the only permanent environmental impact in the application.
1:01:05
We do have temporary.
1:01:08
We do have temporary impacts with regard to destruction and noise.
1:01:12
We have a very robust list of items that we want to bring to the table in consultation with the council member.
1:01:19
And consultation with a nearby school and with a consultation with our neighbors to address all of those impacts to the to the best to the best we can.
1:01:32
With that, I think that concludes the presentation.
1:01:36
And I we we all thank the commit the community for its time and its consideration.
1:01:40
Thank you.
