provided the sketches that per port authority said said it was less than one hundred and 35 and thus claiming that was a corner lot, however, in may of this year, the planner for the project revealed in this project the angle exceed the one hundred and 35 feet it's grrng a hundred and 35 it can't be interpreted as a corner lot and june 2013 this was not given out so in my opinion and the opinion of other in the neighborhood the planning commission can deny this variance to send a clear message to the developers they'll not stlornt the dishonest are i

wanted to point out just recycle the large point out the project on ashbury street the commissioners heard about in may this is moot blow to the block of ashbury burger if a short time the landscaping will be schangd dramatically by creating mega single-family dwellings that negatively impact the neighborhood and neighbors. thank you. >> hello, i'm larry i live on ashbury street i want to give you the petition that opposes the project we have over 50 signers to the petition. the petition verbatim states we believe the project on ashbury

breath we're providing a red dating dot north america map if i would please. providing a red dot map each red dot represents one or more signers to the petition at that location. the triple dollars sign on two houses you represents financial endocuments to the owners to support the project sponsor. in conclusion on behalf of the sierpz we ask the planning department deny the planning request and take the dr i wish to present the planning department with the decision thank you.

>> can i see hello commissioners memoriam micro i live on ashbury burger street my opinions that the planning department should refuse the variance because the developer knowingly bought a lot unsuitable for his development the developer is showing a lot size is it so illustrated on i'm not sorry on the overhead that the two properties that are adjacent to be sold together simultaneously to one buyer the historical place was couped by a garage the developer has rebuilt

is garage on ashbury burger it's possible that the engineering challenges associated with the building on arching burger and it's tiny sized lot may remaining the beautiful garden that exists in conclusion, i ask you deny the variance request and take dr. thank you very much. >> hello, i'm speaking for liz my immediate neighbor we would like to voice our opposition at 5 ashbury burger streets it occurs that the property owner intends to make up by erecting

this this about nell affect the light and air i don't know him personally hose one of several developers that is take advantage of the profit they have little regard the gentleman wants 80 us to this that he intends to sell the unit for profit as he's done before. this combined with the recent voicemail hesitate blackmailing a homeowner can you see me to question his true methods. he's threatened the discretionary review officer with a promise to file the vice president complaints if he files a dr request i'll play the

statement all how are you christopher it looks like you've been in contact with the planner and i guess maybe i didn't make myself clear at the prior conversations if i want to keep our illegal roof-deck i suggest you give me a call back if i don't hear back if you in the next couple of days you know my number so look forward to hearing from you bye >> that proposed 105 is out of scale with all the houses and would ruin the character of the neighborhood i ask you to deny the request to keep our neighborhood in conformity.

>> hello. my name is scott smith i live on ashbury burger across the street in the proposal it's too high into the weeds for the teeny lot we object to the bulk and size from the san francisco design i see policy 101 recks and protects views in the city where the particular waters and system contribute to the measure of the city and the lives of the retains it should be given protection with special attendance with the small business and water that reflects the natural setting to the city. as stated in the guidelines private views are not protected, however, private views are and

that is the backdrop in the ashbury burger city street i obtain to the sweeping views from the san francisco golden gate? the same lot and it's removal will adversely affect the quality of life and also in the san francisco urban design elements i see policy one dot two reinforce the existing view the streets are stable and >> unified component and the changing of the system will alter the pattern. such changes should not counteract the recidivism the street with regards to typography it will not keep with

the neighborhood character this is not consistent with the sale in the city i ask i take the dr and deny any variance thank you. >> hello commissioners autumn kirk scott i've lived one highway north of the subject property on downey street i'm not here for the dr i didn't sign the dr petition and don't support many of the dr arguments. the dr process leads to innovating comments that would be hypocritical of me i tried n for years with the project sponsor law firm to attempt to

rise the dr progress that could have been avoided if the project sponsor got a variance from the outset he didn't and i can't support this project as currently proposed. some quick history after an emergency occasion in 2001 we knew that the previous owners opposed this project in 1991 he twice on variances from the zoning administer the zoning administrator in 1991 approved a rear yard with 20 feet expectations and also required terraceing and to preserve is rear yard mid block small business. the drawings are in the project

sponsors packet. the project sponsor knows he would have my full support i noticed him and he said he was innovate required to have my permit is permitting him to reduce the yard and this argument was false based on the recent street skai survey it's the project sponsor responsibility to apply and this should have set off alarm bells we're now before the process startled last year bra the dr application so, please look at the history and balance the impacts on the air and light and mid block some time and look at the floor to floor inhibits and examine the rear yard set backs.

i support the project sponsors right to build an eloquent home for his family but this neighbor who was in the given the right to weigh in that grants exceptional property rights. thank you. >> male i'm michael i live on ashbury burger streets since then the significant air and light and shadowy ask the planning commission refuse the variance tuesday 006 which involves increasing the height of the ashbury burger garage by

approximately 3 feet for safety reasons in this case, the owner complaints expressed concerns with shadowing of the landscape areas and the loss of small business and without authorization he's the exact copy finding for the granting granting of such variance will not be detrimental and teller injures for the properties in the evict a granting the veterinarians will not impede variance to the surround properties and the adjacent neighbor expressed concerns about the loss of small business and the constructing features without the property authorization the neighbors property is not a thorough loot the par pit with exposed to be

above the garage roof and will not effect the areas the open sear is primer within the building area surely if an increase even if approximately 3 foot was of no concern the increase of 20 feet must be a very great concern and in addition the proposed project in keeping with the exist neighborhood character is not consistent with the size and scale of the other homes in the vicinity please take the dr and deny the variance in the vicinity. >> hello, i live on ashbury

street i'm not going to read what i've wrote but i've been here for 8 hours thank you. can i continue. >> i'm sorry what's the question. >> we were wondering if she spoke before. >> i was in line but stood back. >> shall i start over. please. i live on ashbury street i'm not going to read what i wrote but i've been here for 8 hours i wanted to say something in my opinion the planning commission should deny the permit because the developer submitted distorted plans so i ask the planning commission take the dr and deny my variance. thank you any other speakers in

support of dr >> project sponsor. >> before you start in about 25 minutes this commissioner is going to be leaving to get our cars out of our garage at least. so we're kind of hoping we can make the decision so we don't have to come back again >> understood. thank you. my name is tom law firm of rubbing benefit and rose council for the project sponsor. i'm going to keep my comments brief but i want to address a few important points increase been confusion in mixing of the dr process and is variance i'm sure is commissioners know this is a request for the variance

its considered separately by that the zoning as to the dr request there's no exceptional or extraordinarily circumstances created by this project the dr requester has not identified any all of his allocations have been appointed or are eir respect there's jefferson generally no specific book. there are allegations about the project sponsor buying off neighborhoods the didn't expend as far as he might have tried to match the rear yard of the rear neighborhood maybe so and made concessions to

the rear yard just as the dr process is supposed to work. the petition that has been presented i question points based on a fallacy this is a 6 floor dwelling that's not true and comments about the nature of the purchase of the property it's completely eir respect and the project sponsor intends to live in the home with his family and the city is trying to promote the retention of family in the city with that, i'll stop for the moment i'm going to turn it over to our architect to make a presentation about design. >> i'm going i'm going to truth

of the matter our presentation the dr and the variance westbound called together this is our opportunities to introduce both this is no next item. >> i'm eric a partner with the architects. over two years ago we started a process to develop and design a new house on the open lot. we went through a careful analysis which included an analysis of the existing states the block inspection and the streetscape analysis and that's of the previous house designed in 1981. this is a aerial view we've looked at we did a comparable

analysis of all the lots within the block as well as the adjacent rear yard set backs you'll see there's a line of rear walls of the blocks that run this way the proposed steps in and to the south is blocks are there's no rear yard set back whatsoever we also did a streetscape view. this is a view of the streetscape on the opposite side of the streetscape prop that is come down of three and four story buildings. we also did a streetscape view showing the east side of ashbury

with the proposed project here and looking at to the full length of ashbury street. with regard to the footprint of the project the set back the side mass 3 foot 3 inches to might light and shadow impacts to the neighbor to the south and set back the rare wall the primary wall 15 feet from the property line an extension of a balcony at one level into the 15 foot. your time is up

>> speakers in support ever project sponsor? >> i'm tie bash the owner of 1011 ashburyburg you might be familiar with me i presented in may 22nd of this year if you see my face you'll see some of the people i've never showed up to my dr i'm saddened by the fact that brings us together tonight as in in my opinion the collapse of the planning process but it has turned into a mudslinging 0 event which homeowners
