you have any further questions or would like to discuss the issue any further. Please

Subject: 320 E. Balboa
I spoke with Bili Dildine at 3201 East Balboa regarding replacing his windows.
Seems there may have been an issue with his pians and slN height when he came to the counter
yesterday.
If the existing sill height doesn't comply and they do not make it worse with the retrofit window, we
can accept it and issue the permit.
He should be coming in on Monday morning.
