Breckman Subject: Re: 1308 Henriette DeLille I have submitted the zoning compliant gates to HDLC and Zoning Administration for final approval. The gates are completely within the buildable area and will no longer need a variance as Treme has no setbacks and these will never touch the property line. As soon as I get final approval from Wendy and Todd, I'll be able to withdraw the variance application.

8 my internal deadline on Monday at noon to update the report. Otherwise, let me know as you know. From: Lewis Robinson Sent: Thursday, July 26, :14 AM To: Cc: Leslie T. Alley Subject: Re: 1308 Henriette DeLille Joseph, I am just waiting on final approval from HDLC and Zoning Administration, they have agreed that if we set the fence back from the property line 3" we are completely within the "buildable area" since we have no setback requirements in Treme, and the height is no longer regulated. I didn't want to yet withdraw the variance application until I have a final go ahead. I did bring this up at the Variance hearing and the City Planning director who was there clarified that this is permissable. Again, I don't want to yet withdraw the application, I submitted the final drawings yesterday and hope to have that finalized today. I have to go meet with Property Management today as well. 5
