Mr. Damireddy said no. He stated that he pulled everyone who had applied and were approved for a building permit and had provided their email addresses.

He indicated that he and his wife are in favor of three stories; it will take away a little bit of the view, but they will be sitting in the back, like the other units down the street. He added that they will be 30 feet high instead of the allowed 40 feet, and they will look really nice.
