Can I have the next slide. We’re all set.
The last thing I want to say is I have no – I don’t gain anything
on this. I already won. I ended up out of this process with probably having

went under. The property was foreclosed and sold by the bank and I
ended up with if you were going to design a neighbor and person that
owned the property, it would be the person who lives next door to me:
young professional. I mean, I just came out of this, you know, ahead much
more than where we thought we would be. I have nothing to gain in this
except I would like to see this done right.
I would like to trust the Board of Appeals that they’re going to
do the job that Mr. McNamara said that they would do. But, in our case,
when we tried to introduce the evidence that he’s talking about in terms of

about a dormer. It’s not about zoning use. We don’t do that kind of thing.”
We allege 12 mistakes in the Land Court. We had the case
decided simply on this issue of law. I could have had all 12 of those issues
decided. We didn’t do that. We agreed to have final judgment enter and
then the ZBA took it up to the Appeals Court. The expenses for the case
are over, unless of course the ZBA takes the course to the Supreme
