		Albert said because this is a waterfront property and because it is subject to very complex state and local ordinances dealing with non-permeable surface, building volume and floor area, this is a very slow process.
		Albert is saying about doing it right, because she has built a home here, but she would like to see what progress has been being made and what has to be done to finish it up.
		Albert said it is not the function of a zoning board to use this kind of a situation to overturn a decision.

		ALBERT COSTA: Yes, I think the difference today was I served much better than yesterday, I served much better and maybe I played the key points better also, but Hewitt yesterday also played so good, so sometimes the matches are between two points.
		ALBERT COSTA: Well, the discussions is they were trying to fix it, but because it was outside of the court, not inside.
		ALBERT COSTA: Well, at that moment, I was playing so good and I was not happy with the decision to stop, but you have to try to play and then from 40?0, I get to 40?30 and then he miss a forehand, so it was close again.

		Marathon man Albert Costa hauled himself back from the brink for the third match in a row on Saturday, the Spanish defending champion overturning a two-set deficit to see off Ecuador's Nicolas Lapentti in a four hour 39 minute battle to reach the last 16 at the French Open.
		Costa, the ninth seed, seemed out for the count after Lapentti steamed into a deserved lead on the Suzanne Lenglen Court — but by the end he could hardly move as his rival finally advanced 4-6, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 to book a meeting with Arnaud Clement of France.
		Costa's win was still 52 minutes shy of the all-time record match length at Roland Garros, Alex Corretja having needed five hours 31 minutes to beat Argentine Hernan Gumy in 1998.

		Costa has not won an event since his win over Ferrero in last year's final — but he says he is now back to his top form after recovering from two sets down for a third time.
		Those statistics counted for nothing as Costa began his long road back, breaking for a 5-4 lead in the third set when Robredo netted a forehand, and the champion took the set by holding to 15 when his rival netted again.
