there, there are areas not shown are below the ground floor we have a property line and those are the only by bringing the high-rise we'll indefinitely loss the entire light? section i'll propose the expansion is only chances if so they had had garage. let the expansion takes places in the ground floor >> sir, your time is up. >> thanks. >> oak is there any public comment? supporting the dr requester. then project sponsor you have 5 minutes >> good evening commissioner president wu and commissioners i'm the architect for the project and my parent own the

house. >> (inaudible). >> sf. >> thank you. the existing family home is two levels we're proposing to addressing add two levels as you see from the slide this block of 20th street a 2 and 3 levels with 3 levels dominating this is my father's home and the larger home to the left and the adjacent neighbor fully supports our project. as part of the project we'll clean up the building and compromise the facade and bring back it vtorian spirit with the appropriate design. to do this we'll remove the 950 side doors and remove the garage in field under the bay window

we've also restore the wood ships. the dr requesters concerns were made known when the parents bought the house it is primarily bathrooms and hallways you see the perpendicular windows we've accommodated our windows to minimized the impact of the window. we're providing a light court that aligns with the light well and it's longer than than the guidelines. our light anchored is open mind all the way to the front of the building catching the exposure consider as shown in pink it opens all the way to the street the dr requester is the bigger building on the left. this slide compares the light court in purple and by the

guidelines our design meets and exceeds the requirement of the residential guidelines. now the slide shows that the perpendicular lines in red we've reduced our floor so they won't have to russet them we'll reduce our children's bedrooms this is back to our neighbors we didn't prototypes a penthouse roof this exterior stairs are open to the sky. and we didn't provide the high ceilings the ceiling heights are standard. now this is the proposed wall of the perpendicular part of the kraflt to the volume it is significantly smaller than what

the planning code allows we didn't ways and means come in with a large design we started out with our best foot forward with a sensitive plan that receptors the concerns of the neighbors we've met with them privately and intooifr giving them update and meeting with them we're frustrated our compromises have not satisfied the dr requester they've not suggested my revisions that are acceptable to us or the planning staff the member of the delores community supports this application. in conclusion, this is a modest project in scope that removes the number one combloint structure reverses the traditional victorian facade and code compiling the vertical edition is almost incidentally

visible from the street level it impacts the perpendicular window commissioners, i ask you to agree with the plaintiff recommendation please recommend this approval that there are extraordinarily circumstances here and in public in support of project sponsor >> seeing none, doctor requesters you have a 2 minute rebuttal. >> the neighbor adjacent i talked to him on wednesday weekend he's a long time client naturally he wasn't warrior aware of it the drawings that was sent out in the neighborhood unfortunately none were clear and the description was written with so many phrases of reduction reduction all over the

text and no one what is getting the idea the size feel magnitude of the project. here's a graurg drawing that was submitted obviously in this setting we could eagles see the 0 from the street you'll see the expansion and on top a deck that's blocking for us to get sunlight is not adequate there's a paper signed earlier in 2000 close to 2000 that for bids them from blocking air or privacy and all we're asking to maintain our sunlight we've having and continuing to joy the sunlight we want to expand below the

garage level down below he's this 4 story bedroom and instead of 4 bedroom he could simply settle with 3 and that enhances the drool frontage and knowledge the deck optional top you're going through those structures issues and those are brick buildings and this is a huge load you're going to be adding to our recommendation is to expand below grade and add the with an bedroom and end up with 23 bedrooms instead of 34 bedrooms >> thank you. project sponsor two minutes >> could we have the computer graphic i'm for the project sponsor. it's not frair fair to show the

separate edition from the street there's a prospective that quell inadequately deals with that, i have copies of the policy and it is determined the n s c the variances being removed it part of the project and even if it were not he's reviewed the project and determines hits appropriate copy of that if you like pardon me finally this is totally appropriate project that reverses a hectic facade and doesn't some of the maengz that were created created family sized housing it's supported by staff and we urge you not to take dr and please approve it >> thank you. okay with that

the public hearing is close. commissioner moore >> thank you for clarifying the issue of the variance i was about to ask mr. washington it's a little bit hard to understand it's clear i want to jumps in and recognize this project as a significantly designed project and those presentations of the project is actually that good that i would like the department to put that that it's library this is an exception i feel that the presentation itself made it very clear those issues which we're norman concerned about where the rubber meets the road two building start and effect each other and we residence if i within the city and when i look

at sensitivity that particular project concluding how it's duplicate reaches a high mark even if sensitivity something i'd like to recommend too on the today. in this case i'm supportive of it for the number of reasons noted and indefinitely suggest we don't take dr >> commissioner antonini. >> i completely agree with commissioner moore that was stated quite clearly by the project sponsor it's below the allowed height and the skillfully matching light well will allow the sin from the south looking at the location the dr requesters to the west it should allow plenty of light and the other thing that was done was present line window

accomodation by changing the size of the room and the neighbor on the east is a smaller house supports so i will move to not take dr and approve the project. >> second. >> second. >> commissioners there's a motion not to take dr commissioner antonini. commissioner hillis. commissioner johnson. commissioner moore. xhoishd. commissioner fong and commissioner president wu. so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 7 to zero and places you on general public comment public comment there are no speaker cards >> any general public comment public comment? seeing no general public comment public comment general public comment is closed. >> right away shauven williams we'll close in honor of right

away shown williams. meeting adjourned..

>> good afternoon, everyone. this is a pretty thrilling day that for us it's another milestone in the progress of connecting the great city of san francisco from one end to another about economics development and about clean environment, pittsburgh that's about building consensus i'm sure the mayor will agree he served as the che administration officer it to took years to get this to a third street rail of central subway thousands even if hours of volunteers coming together to make their point of view known. we've been here 5 wants on the total of this project but making

progress again and every step of the way all along i'll say whoever we were appealing to our hopes are riding on the third street rail and our hopes on the street subway for all to be a model to the country of economic development while we improve the quality of life and sflrs customers and create good paying jobs that's today is a sad day because of the loss of robin williams i was oncoming over mayor we were together in 2012 with another phase we are that altogether with ray la hood the secretary of transportation and while we were listening to each other's speeches we were on our i preponderance watching the last of the games to dorm who would be in the playoffs and

while we were celebrating the; correct construction we were cheering the victory of the giants that day to go on to the world series and robin williams was a great giant fan my daughter christine right-minded me in after 2001 that was by and large the first time god bless america took place some may have done is but a tradition across our country and robin williams was a great giants fan but in 2004 he sank god bless america urging the 7th ending stretch we've lost a genius and san francisco has lost a great friend we made contributions to

life. two weeks ago on the steps of the k358 the democrats launched the jump start to create good paying jobs in our country a rock the entrepreneurship begins in the classroom to make college affordable and early child onsite hood evaluation affordable and in some ways when with yes, ma'am succeeds america succeeds a version of growing the economy by this each week this week is make that on america where we say we want american made companies invest in good paying jobs here in america by removing tax credits to send jobs overseas what is

what the law is now, it's ridiculous we want to over turn that with the savings we want to invest in building america and building the infrastructure and that means roads and brigades and cr=certainly mass transit and water supply and broad band the infrastructure of the future so this the the job the parlor we're sthifls all over the country what better place to start where the innovation has begun it's begun with the consensus over time with the community involvement i've said to the city i want to give you every option but if we allocate the sources we need the dirt to underlie this consensus building over time has been very, very central to our success and, of

course, the recovery act that president obama took the lead on made a difference in getting hundreds and hundreds of million dollars nearly a billion dollars for the completion of the project while it started local it was local and state funding under the leadership of the leaders today, i'm honored to be here with the mayor how important this jump start for the class is and how important building infrastructure is to the jump start. roadway there's a installing felt be middle-class because of the stalling of those kinds of initiatives h initiates we want it to be non-barn we know the american people overwhelmingly support an nishlt that improves the quality of life and to get the products to and from work

and employees to and from home and again to clean and protect the virnlt as we create jobs we have have to build consensus i salute the people in san francisco for the rolls they've played over the years really decades to make many of the projects that are emerging now projects so that's consecutively the quail valley and hunters point and the transbay terminal with the enter connections with the parkway and the longtime in the planning and consensus building many of them possible because of president obama recognition this buildings infrastructure of america is essential to growing our economy with that, i'm pleased to give this podium oh, by the way, did i introduce thomas and paling

their construction is they're game they know about machinery i don't know about their teaching me and wanted to see how it's going my grandchildren from new york. they've ridden on the subway they wanted to see how one is built in california had a they're my special vip pits i've said his role as mayor and the chevy administration officer knows how to get the job done an operational manager it's not mystery i continued the great work of the previous mayors but he was effective working with the mayors before so thank you that mayor for honoring us with your leadership i yield to the

that distinguished mayor >> (clapping) >> thank you leader pelosi and it's a delight to have you here also with those young kids michael i think we can get him a my own card right-of-way. i'm delighted i know leader pelosi is absolutely right and chosen one of the most exemplar projects certainly our city has seen here today with the san francisco mta xhishsz, the planning commission folks and our sf leader katie is here as well its a milestone after milestone when in the backdrop the central subway project is so important i remember leader pelosi when we began this conversation in the early years really to trying to figure out how we could access those

american recovery act to be a dumb u jump start for us in san francisco we needed it at the height felt great recession and it came at the right time with the initial investments now over a billion dollars in the project you see what has come about this project has been one of the critical foundation but why today a few years later we'll boast about a 4.5 employment rate i putting americans to work is so important in project is a couple of months ago director reiskin and i looked at the tunnel borrowing machines helping them get out of the ground a huge milestone it's burn a safe project for the men and women they know about safety

what their tunneling very deep underground and marcus making sure this station with union square and the scare station and along with the chinatown station we're doing well, that the conversation has literally changed they want this done all the way to fisherman's wharf that's why leader pelosi is here today, we need to brag about the success stories those kinds of projects not only the jobs and investments we've made but you look at the 8 hundred and 50 thousand of hours construction hours that are logdz on this project so far look at it's investment in small businesses. over $1275 million has been contracted to the small business expires because of this project it's done well and right (clapping) yourselves local people that

have been trained and sits across from the conference center and continues to feed that great, great hospitality industry that is at the head of a lot of industries in san francisco hiring more people in the hotel and i'm proud for a multitude of reasons but people took risks for american workers that's why we want to talk about the build american bonds that lorp was talking about we need american to continue building we can build nor roads and bridges we can take this to clean energy and solar raise and other types of buildings that america needs we can take this further that's why the principles that go along

with that this frontage exemplifies all of those triblts he at the same time, we can have a national conversation about raising people's minimum wage the lowest wage earners in america we've got that on the ballot in which it honors laborers and businesses and people that workout nonprofits we've brought them together and america can did do that request leader pelosi's help and the point they'll have the ability to raise minimum wage inventing here and across the have a r country so build americans bond acts and director reiskin will talk about that but i want to introduce someone i've had the privilege of working with to get

things done he's the guy that gets things done despite the challenges a long way but gets to work with an array of agencies that are committed not only to build but to do it to get more jobs out there and to help our needy to make sure we raise the minimum wage. i give you and i yield to him the director of our mta director reiskin (clapping) >> thank you mr. mayor and ma'am, leader the central subway was a jump start for san francisco when we started work here it's a great veemgs felt kind of infrastructure environmentalist we're capable of chief of police in the great united states a project like this doesn't just happen the

leader said we've been through presidential terms even through many secretaries of transportation many mayors but leader pelosi has from the start been a steadfast champion for this project and it's really one of the key reigns wearable to stand here and demonstrate to sfro san francisco and say to the country our progress. this project is critically important to the future of transportation therefore the future of our economy and city and making great progress we've completed the tuning $255 million contract the project got done ahead of schedule and created jobs behind us the mucus station which will connect to the muscone conference center that will be expanding buto
