11:35 am
they don't know how the restaurant is going to be operating and if you look at the menu they're delicious. >> i've landmark that muni menu is there a separate entrance to the upstairs that answers most of my questions i have a few dmments there are recuperates, you know, in a tack mode that if those of you have been to locals corners it's not very big i think most of their cooking facilities are behind the creditor we've had a bigger scale that's where all the cooking occurs and, you know, i did not think it was noisy and the food was very good and their
11:36 am
men i way small i'll need a couple which things first of all, the sound like proofing is already part of the thing that's teaching i would agree the patio door needs to be locked and a six months back to see how things are and the issue of the patio not before us that would be the conditional use because it would have to come back if there's interest in the patio. >> commissioner fong. >> i agree the conditions but i want to ask the architect where's the garbage and i said in pie presentation we'll keep the public outside of the backyard to put the garbage in the backyard one of the neighbors obtained so aging i

11:38 am
the project sponsor and a history where the building was converted to office use there's a permit establishing that there's no outstanding enforcement issues and i'll address the garbage so the code provides for that under the same acceptance the garbage compose must be kept within the premise only outside when a certify by a disposal company. >> could you comment on the saturation so the liquor license is there a large number based on one the diagrams how 80 do you see that approving that for a wine bar use it's currently zoned for retail once you've rezoned you can't go back as a supervisor in this district has
11:39 am
commented are there concerns i was there a few weeks ago in the middle of the night it was annoying noisy there's a fun side to it wow. arrest. >> an excellent point in regards to concentration of the concentration riches e issues that's not manage that the abc license in the license abc had a aphasia a type 41 they don't have the concentration test for it they do for the off sale licenses the liquor store and they have a concentration test the type 47 might and the project sponsor can talk about that i did not see that on abc website it would be subject to a concentration test but even if
11:40 am
something exceeds the concentration there's a approval at the board of supervisors they can allow the establishment that exceed the concentration and police weigh in open that to be considered, you know, that's something the concentrations issues are vested out by abc. >> we've not heard opposition from the molt use across the street that particular prove or disprove was brutal when it came to the housing but we've not heard anything ton or on this matter. >> maybe staff can address that i have not heard comments in the
11:41 am
supervisor. >> sounds like there's a letter of support from the hotel. >> thank you commissioner richards. >> i think i want to add the good neighbor policy for someone asked for so administrator is that standard. >> we have standard operation conditions that maintain under the section maintains the entrance to the building and keep them in sanitary conditions optional add. >> the law son. >> the community liaison. >> when you talk about good neighbor policy i think i've mentioned that was it in terms of of providing a contact phone
11:42 am
for the law son for the streets? >> i guess it would be it would be preferred if the law so that was added since it's right there maybe the owner or could be anyone but they have the ability for the ongoing dialog and okay. thank you. commissioner johnson >> thank you very much. i just wanted to add one quick thing i think it is great to have a condition in order to do some of the things we're talking about we might have to take the dr so if we're going to do that i want to add one more not to consider a seat for the outdoors space until the six months look back is done i know you're not anticipating come back i want to do thing in the right order >> is that 6 months from

11:44 am
designated area and police when it's taken to the curve it's not readily assessable to be rum aged through this is an issue you know from the noise you can put a couple of 50 pound concrete it can discourage anyone until the garbage man walks up that's the motion >> oh, no cu application for 6 months at least 6 months avenue you've opened the establishment cu being for the outside. >> just to clarify the garbage requirement is already part of the planning code it's not needed it's a requirement this is imposed. thank you >> sir, you can't be calling
11:45 am
from the audience. >> the project sponsor has a good question i want to ask it can they file for their conditional use authorization procure to that six months reporting, you know, it does there's a backlog so i think would the idea be they can political for it now by no hearing until their had their six months o months report balk or back. >> i guess we can amend it commissioner antonini. >> i think the actual hearing can't be any sooner than 6 months. commissioner moore >> i would previous not to build that otherwise we lived here hear it today, i wouldn't support it today with an outdoor

11:49 am
ground the residential design team no extraordinary circumstances and accepts the recollection not to take discretionary review and allow it >> thank you doctor requester. >> i'm richard the requester i live in a tick behind this complex the techy live in consists of 11 cottages i'm at the a paradox the lowest open the hill when this unit adds on additional level we'll be looking each other across the lot. the area is quiet i basketball it two years ago when i retired my unit is one thousand square feet the europe level is not impacted i fully admit i'm the only person faxed by the project

11:53 am
give me privacy and i'll go along with a full glass on the other side i was told by the planning commission they didn't want to block off the other part they need a variance and didn't want to deal with that issue. i i don't think what i'm asking for is going to cost a lot of money i only want high privacy if this is the wisest thing oh, that sound like something very rare when i discussed it with two of the people in the planning commission they encouraged me to apply. i flew agree they've fwlot letters of loving them open the street i'm the one faekd affected and i'm the only one my neighborhoods are a level higher they see right of over that.

the roof did he know up above the intent of the design that margaret and andrew are looking forward to having a living space on the main level separate from their dining room and their living room. the second bedroom for guests for andrew mother who's in her 80s she stays there quite a bit >> and radiation mark and aurnd interned to live there they appreciate this converts that property into a viable family unit adding an additional bedroom the surrounding contention as was discussed more than 60 or 63 feet by my calculations it's a ways away
11:56 am
and diej the project is modest in scale and fits into the neighborhood no variances are needed more over we've had a sensitivity to the views and privacys of the neighborhood we created a smaller unit by code we've that i would the edition back. i'm sorry here we are well pulled it back under the front primary facade to the frontd front we've pulled it back in the rear and 12 feet in the front and 12 feet in the rear with an effort to minimize unbelievable and viability of the vertical edition. you know, this i think it a quiet great graphic here's unus
