individually significant or historic but does contribute to a potential historic district. that in itself makes it a historic resources. a potential historic resource. with regard to the setback being at 22 feet, part of that is because of the visibility from the -- across the street and with this building, instead of having where you have this straight up and down on most residences, this one has a sloping parapet. it makes the addition more visible. if it were at the standard 15 feet which the design prescribes by minimum. that is why the addition was pushed back to 22 feet. part of the environmental review. commissioner borden: i think it is separately fine project. i do not understand the concerns of the requestor. i did not understand why they

push it back so far. i can understand their concern with the distance. the street being so narrow your not going to see anything anyway because -- it will not seeing, you would have to be in the other person's house upstairs. >> i have to agree. i walked that streetwise -- street twice. across the street. this is the argument for story poles. that would have sold a lot of the questions had that been done. it is too late for that. i saw in the general neighborhood a number of bad boxes and i saw a number that were contextual.

i do not by the historical argument on 22 feet on this one. this is a misuse of the historic process. i won't vote against the motion, but i would have preferred that the setback not be 22 feet. >> if i could address part of that. not a setback but the architectural treatment. under the historical review, it was mentioned that the addition itself should not be replicating. >> i understand secretary of interior standards. i do not think it is applicable here. i think it is bad for the neighborhood. >> my point was the project may

be designed to appear compatible and seamless with existing architectural style but without replicating the features of the existing building. staff would be amenable to that not only from a design guidelines but from the ceqa review. it does not necessarily have to be a box with the parapet on it. there can be some kind of feature but it could not -- should not be replicating the existing parapet at that slope. commissioner antonini: i would hope there is flexibility in our motion and staff they could work with project sponsor to finishe the upper addition in such a way that it has more compatibility with the rest of the houses in the neighborhood and whether it be an issue of -- eave tile roof, there are a

couple of houses that were built before the secretary's standards were carried out. they are beautiful and they put on additions on the top their seamless with the bottom and that is what i would like to be able to do on my house and i ever did in addition to the top of it. people should have the ability to make something look appropriate if they feel that way. commissioner moore: the only thing is that if you would change from flat to pitched, it would add significant height. i assume that you cannot have it both ways. either you keep the high-tech row -- low or you do it pitched roof -- the height low or you do a pitched roof.

it creates a shadow and a more massive feeling. he should speak to this and keep this light and not as noticeable. we are minimizing the effect on the neighbor. would you like to comment on that? >> we can take a look at this drawing. >> we did move this to a 15 foot setback and we added the tiled roof but with his returns on either side.

that is the street you. have you from further down the street and more of an aerial shot. that would be one way with a tile roof here and here and here to integrate the upper addition with the lower house. one way to do it. commissioner moore: it is clear that would create a massive feeling. it would be much closer to the street. architecturally i find it somewhat in congruent. it is a top hat not quite fitting. i am comfortable with the setback and with the contemporary addition which is in keeping with interpretations of historic preservation staff -- style. i need to step in in defense. i found myself calling staff and saying what is happening, you're

not on this project. there is an independent review function within the planning department and i am glad it is independent. they need to step forward when they see something and even in my case, i did not quite agree with the observation. i took the facts as being what they're supposed to do. so i can only support what you have brought forward. and repeat my support for the project as proposed. >> to address the concerns in terms of adding an architectural detail to make the building more compatible, there is -- it would not necessarily increase the building height as it is now before you. second item is i would caution the department and if you were to add or decrease the setback

-- a lesser said back then 22 feet, that 22 feet is required under the ceqa review. by bringing this set back forward, the commission action because you're asking for something that was issued under the category of exemption for the project. >> i understand what you're saying. because you said it -- set it over 22 feet, it was almost not visible. therefore you did not have to go through a historic ceqa review to see if the upper element was compatible. is that kind of what you are saying? >> they did the historical review. they applied for the application and 22 feet was the set back under the review.

>> if there is an impact it changes the character. and creates a historic -- more extensive ceqa project. >> it was to be challenged it would be before the board of supervisors -- if it was to be challenged it would be before the board of supervisors. >> there is flexibility in interpreting standards and definitely i am in favor of that. this is getting a little bit too involved for an addition. i think to answer commissioner more, if you leave the flat roof, and you have the eave there that is tiled or harbor they decide to do it, that could be something that would not add any pitch to the height of the roof. we would not make it any higher and it would be more compatible with every other house on the block. to have additions that go up

another floor. they have kept the roof, the treatment of the visible were for the same as the rest of the neighborhood and that is a suggestion. commissioner moore: while we are entitled to our opinions i am not a big fan of pizza hut roofs. a pitch comes out of formal architecture but just pitching it at, i do not see any purpose in there. it will be expensive to do and it does not add anything of value to the house nor for the people who are looking at it. because when you see it from the side, it is like that. it is not completing itself as a form and people are saying what the hell is this? it is a pizza hut roof. that is what it is. i do not think that works. commissioner borden: why are we talking about the roof? commissioner moore: i was just

commenting. >> the motion is to approve. >> the motion is currently before it. commissioner antonini, aye, commissioner borden, aye. commissioner moore, aye. that motion passes unanimously. thank you. you're not in general public comment. -- you are in general public comment. president miguel: is there any present -- is there any public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. we're adjourned.

this hearing is finally finished.
