to keep the materials. >> for 88 carolyn. >> offender for ashbury i believe you do. >> when you have been speaking sophisticating will turn on the projector. >> okay. thank you. >> hello, i'm a concerned neighbor i want to show some pictures. first, this is explaining my building is right her in the proposed project is two lots over. i'm sure you're aware of the house sits in the rear of the building. essentially my myself and other two owners in our attacking have 4 concerns about the plan the first is the proposed building is not comparable with the 0 neighborhood. as you see the building s are 3 stories at all and this is at 4

stories the building covers ups 080 percent of the lot. my preliminary concern is the impact on the light into my apartment. in this 3 unit building my apartment is in the rear and the only windows that get light are the south facing windows the kitchen and bathroom currently, i get light will 4 plus hours of the day because one at the 10 arching sits at the end of the lot this is from december 21st, 2013, not a lot of bright light open for about 4 hours. what happens with the proposed study and the proposed building now you can see 2:30 there's in

the morning any light to my bedroom and permeate so there's one hundred percent elimination of sunlight and skylights not help because the shadows extend up to the roof as well. the concern number 3 we have myself and unit two because his bedroom window faces south is that with the new fourth story edition there will be eye line sight solos of privacy and concern 4 essentially the topgraphy of the lot is an upward slope it impacts the loss of light and privacy from the fourth story edition.

so there was essentially a neighborhood competition encompassing the cycling area that supported to downsize the scale of the project. so ultimately we are asking the planning commission to make the changes to the proposal specifically that fourth floor is the major impact of the light and privacy >> thank you, ma'am your time is up. >> thank you - commissioner sugaya. >> yeah. could you submit those to the secretary. >> any future jumping. >> since the topic of plan came up i want to talk about a general issue i represent the sponsors and neighborhoods. i applaud you for asking for better plans you need plans to

make decisions but what's happening is there's a greater difference between the plans. the neighborhoods get a 311 set of plans this is what you get this was a plan recently on a 311 it lacked reconcile any sexual zero squall. it lacked every indictment is was wrong in the elevation. i raised the issues it didn't follow the departments implicitly did a 311 really occur here if none of the qualifications for this plan occurred. i asked again and again please send this is what they sent the same thing with the small-scale and the plan yes, it's on 11 by

171 but tiny tiny thing with no indemnities you should see where the developers are doing when not asked >> thank you. >> i'd like to comment about a few of the things 3 that ms. gallagher brought up. i think it's important to have a standardized format that is being asked from the project sponsor to provide to the city. whatever is going out should be standard did i see to reduce the confusion. i was surprised to be given 36 hours to turn it around if we have this type of

standardization all the information will be provided to the commission and no last minute continuance of plans. the other thing i want to address is the shadow study i met with the neighbor two door downstairs we went through the every most of the year hour by hour i spent two hours reviewing that and we've come to the conclusion there's two hours out of the year for a person - i still have is a minute and 45 minutes i can speak paralyzing i met with her and we discussed this in detail the result was a total an hour and a half two most out of the year i provided shadow studies i'll condition to provide shadow studies asia look

forward to presenting my case >> any future general public comment. >> i'm sorry. >> because of the outburst that came out of the audience this is has been continued off the calendar so this is just an opportunity just as the woman who submitted her comments and i'm the architect i live in the ashbury and am glad commissioner moore recognized my face i try to make the projects compatible very briefly we're happy to provide the information several we'll make sure that gets done and work with the planning and my apologizes not having done

that already. >> go ahead. >> thank you commissioner borden. >> so i know we've discussed the matters i've been talking to the commissioner we had new guidelines in our rolls for submission i want to whether understand who those met the guidelines if not do we need to update the guidelines. >> for the benefit of the commission those guidelines are obey upgrade and considered by design team. using this case ann as an example the teams have been ri78d the need diligence in reviewing the plans but even more so when a building application t iss circulated >> so the question is the

guidelines have not been implemented to the project sponsor wouldn't have got those. >> those have not been formally added, however, the guidelines indicate the indemnities. >> so in the future if we don't have the time then let the project sponsor know. >> well quite honestly the issue shouldn't be calendar before. >> commissioner moore. >> i like the staff to say there's not extraordinary i asked about consistentlycy within the planning department procedure matters not a

difficult thing to do about indemnities and this is what the commission looked like comparing the right of an applicant and the full right of somebody who has a grievance and the fox has to be crystal clear without boys to start with and take the argument and develop an understanding of who there's a rightful complaint are the dr is completely in compliance. it didn't take an einstein >> their met in a sense but not
