inaccurately portray the subject light wheels and the design team says this is sufficient for the light and air of the property and the project sponsor has conceded to the private glass on the north wall of the vertical edition that has the close adjacent to say neighborhood light well windows the design team is concerned there's no extraordinarily circumstances and not to take discretionary review. >> dr requester 5 minutes.

>> good evening, commissioners and i'm lawrence lee and me myself and my wife are on delores? our home near and dear to my heart this is where we met and live and this is where we plan to retire and this is also 1293 the only dwelling impacted by the proposed project the

other units around the area are not impacted by this project as we are our home is on top of the building we have only one floor of the building and one of the best things we enjoy the most is the sunlight we look forward to this the project proposed as proposed is making or blocking a lot of should from our kitchen and dinging room i believe you have the dr i want to point out if you look at the current existing conditions we enjoy about 10 months of sunlight in the entire year with the proposed project we'll only have 2 months of sunlight this is

through the year this data is interest the national atmospheric administration of the department of commerce if you look at 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. we enjoy about 8 hours of sunlight we have a promoted project we on enjoy one hour of sunlight as you can see the data showing a few pictures simulated of navigate what it will be for our kitchen and dining room this is looking through our kitchen window and looking through the kitchen window two of them open the right is as proposed this is the kitchen as you can see this is quite light and

enjoyable with the proposed building it could be very dark dining room same thing as well as the light well the light well could potentially present somewhat of a hazard at the bottom floor because it's dark i only have 3 simple questions two of them address the sunlight issue and one a privacy issue the first one we're requesting that the project sponsor slope the roof of the closest and the study area and leaving the master bedroom and deck alone this is the sensitivity of the project sponsor and trying to achieve a good compromise the second one is, of course, as mr. washington pointed out it's been responded to in the dr and the new plan

shows it is increasing the originally proposed project of 9 foot light well set back to the 5 inches thirds one and the responder to the dr agreed to add a privacy glass on is walk in closet, however, this is what we proposed on the slide booth it is not showing well but the second picture what we're proposing is very small slope on the roof of the closet and the stairwell the last request we have is the addition to in addition to the privacy dallas

through the walk in closet weasel weelgdz to have the proposed glass to the left of it and our tenants also support our position in summary this is our home we've minding there since 198 we plan on retiring once our kids grew up a little bit and we this is our - >> sir. >> this is the only one. >> sir unfortunately, our time is up. >> speakers in support of the dr request okay project sponsor.

>> good evening commissioners michael architect i'm with the project owner and project sponsor greg project that you see before you is as mr. washington described a modest dominions a two-bedroom condominium units which the gentleman lives he's recently had a child and his family is growing he's you requiring an additional room that's why we

went with the thirds floor master swept to the existing building it's set back 3 sides and has a 25 set back as well this indicates the home uphill from the gentleman's home as you can see it's approximately a half floor a bit more than a half floor higher than the subject building so the appendix will, in fact, be a half floor about the dr requesters building one clarification regarding the definition of light well, the dr requesters building on the left our proposed addition is this yellow highlight it is, in fact,

a notched area of the addition on two sidess so a light well by definition is enclosed on 3 side lives these only planning on cloerg 2 items so north is to your left so the southeast light the sun obey - will be reaching into that contrary to what the dr requester stayed this information was from noah's website that deals with the altitude this is the drawing that indicates sun angles on the

equestrian new york on september 18th and what it is showing the 7:00 a.m. sun indicated on the first line is blocked by the shadowing of the windows indicated on red the next indication at 9 he's getting almost full light through 9 notch onto the both the windows on the south side by 11:00 a.m. there's light across the top of the roofline and by 12:30 in the afternoon getting full sunlights on the afternoon level this is you can see the sun would be reaching this window and this will be a pair

of windows along the side this will be for 6 months between the light is reaching to the indication of the light well, this is a canopy that is actually shading some of his own windows second point was regarding privacy as stated by mr. washington we've agreed to create school bus glass in the walk-in closet area the only verify from an area there will be a deck placed here there will be the small obscured view and based on the ceiling it is 4

feet there's a part indicated in light blue is a one sliver of the view this is an abbreviated dr we question request that you take planning recommendations and support of the planning design. >> speakers in support of the project sponsor. >> excuse me. can i submit that, please there were 39 letters of opposition. >> are there speakers in support of the project sponsor. >> dr requester you have a 2 minute rebuttal. >> it is a simple one the slide that's been shown is but one most of the year so it is not a

full year if you take into account we're school board asking to increase the sunlight not restore everything but have more than what the 3r0e789 building is providing that's one thing and privacy we all know if the desk is there it can be moved and consider that as is not a permanent solution where the window will be a better choice. >> project sponsor a two minimal rebuttal. >> project architect a quick statement the dr requester has the semilasted impacts of the fights those were to play with the "x" powers those are not

scientifically good. >> good evening, commissioners i'm greg a native san franciscan i want to abbreviate this this is not-for-profit only to house my family i've gone door to door i went to the next tenant to the dr requesters folks and showed them the plan around 1230 from the dr requesters tenants they've texted me they received

a text from obviously the landlord the dr requester to resend their approval of my small project i do thank you for your times i don't know if i can continue. >> you have 25 seconds. >> my father move forward here 60 years ago he was a physician and passed away last year my mother is by herself that's why we're building this edition we can't afford to move to oath property we're just asking to basically have our excuse me. sorry and you can submit the letter. >> thank you so much public hearing is closed commissioner moore i look at the presentation and personally doesn't have tools to

deal with light or shadow impact as the project is code compliant it is this is a modest edition and skillfully done discussions about the privacy glass, etc. i don't think anything we can request an agreement between the two parties involved i happen to live in a very tight light well and while i see my neighbors i don't stand at the window to see what they're doing in urban live you might see each other but no intent of interfering with other people's so this argument did not ring true i understand the light and appreciate it we're in

no position to deal with that as an argument unless there's a disrespect for are not notches? not a full light well by definition i'm in support of the project and actually would suggest that i'm make a motion to move to approve. >> second and commissioner antonini. >> yeah. i feel the same way again, the option in privacy situations that the party that may want nor privacy can have shuttles or shades for privacy we're in a dense urban area and almost any place i live in the city is going to have vision

going into a window where people can be able to see outside a little bit better it seems like the light well situation is close to matching allows the left to right from the east and west i'm in favor in the motion. >> i'm supportive i know we sort of abbreviate our discussions in the last item but even though it's late we're tentative we're paying attention i know there's a couple time the project sponsor and others say 'tis it's late but paying attention. >> commissioner moore i appreciate our saying that because we move to the end of this meeting has not changed my position i would have said the

same thing if it was harder at as item 13. >> commissioners, we have a motion and a second 90 to not take dr. >> commissioner antonini commissioner hillis be commissioner johnson commissioner moore sxhoifkz that he commissioner fong so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously and places you on item 14 on gladstone drive request for discretionary review good evening southwest team leader we're on the south side in the excelsior neighborhood proposal the proposal is a two-story horizontal rear edition it increases the wealthy by 164 inches and adding 3 bedrooms and

two barrooms and a family room the logically e.r. relocation to the garage of the part of the interior it adds 9 hundred and 80 square feet to the existing rinse the subject properties 50 by joe 50 and 25 hundred square feet the dr requesters is concerned about the existing property line they're concerned this position will change the feel p of this home to a detached unit and the sunlight will be come down because it will add 4 additional feet to the overlay 4 feet deeper than the dr filer they'll not windows on the other side facing the

subject property the dr requester about modify the corner to accommodate the neighbors access to light despite at a 45 degree angle the side yards exit the side yard paper was not found and many are occupied by one story garages overall it was found to fit within the neighborhood context and the elimination was found appropriate it is in the rh1 zoning district where does yards are not required there's no exceptions or special circumstances not take discretionary review and approve the building permit. >> okay dr requester you have 5

minutes. >> good evening, commissioners i'm the owner of 141 gladstone the adjacent property i have two problems the main one recommended to sunlight we get sunlight mainly from a side door glass side door opening to the backyard which is the south side of my house it expends 15 feet by 4 feet to the south to the backyard and this will actually bring the highway that is 4 feet higher than my house and 4 feet to the setting thisblast will block the sunlight from my main glass door there is a problem

that will be critical in the winter when sun actually in the angleed and i think it is a major problem for us and make the hours darker and definitely not as great to live in other problem is related to what the problem in the neighborhood there was actually a similar project on the adjacent project next to 135 from the other side this exact house one hundred 45 suffered from water into seep into the ground level the new owner became aware of the problem that was disclosed to the new owner it's a known

problem in the neighborhood not new i did not see in the planning a study related to the water i would say kind of study done to see the effect on the adjacent houses so those are the two major issues i think they can be avoided by a set back not adjacent to the line on the property line but can be 4 feet back and the increased or the extension to the inside of the property can be limited to the existing structure on the total width of the structure thank you very much. >> okay project sponsor i'm sorry speakers are there speakers in support of dr doesn't look like it

project sponsor. >> good evening, commissioners jeremy the project architect trying to keep this short and sweet in our packet a copy of the proposal to angle the rear of the edition which the dr requester never responded to we don't know how he feels about the proposal we've begun ahead and done shadow studies for that proposal anyways as he said the building in this block with don't get a lot of light their proximity to silver avenue this is much taller to the building on the south but in june in the summer soltice you see with our original proposal

that by 9:00 a.m. the sun starts to clear his rear deck sliding glass door and clear by 745 in our revised angle it is clearing by 9 o'clock but in full sun by 10:30 an hour and 15 minutes arbitrate more sun as well as with the revision starting to clear the door at 8:20 with the revision and the glass the full dysfunction by 1125 and by 9 or 10 in the morning and by comparison in the winter time the project is in full shadow of

the building behind that with that said, i'll comment on the horizontal aspect to the side property line the project sponsor himself has a side edition i'm not positive it's the lower level of the garage floor we're proposing the existing garage on the main portion of the building the side edition will house the garage that was a side patio now a garage we're asking for what he has next and speakers in support certificate project sponsor no one dr requester you have a 2 minute rebuttal if you like. >> thank you very much i just want to highlight that

the proposed proposal for this solution can cause a problem in the summer because of the sharp angle of the building the new this will be 4 feet higher than 38 my house in the winter the problem is different the amount is lower i have a short window of time when the sun gets into the glass door then blocked by the silvers with this extension is changes things. >> project sponsor two minute rebuttal. >> i guess one thing i forgot to mention the water table that's a known issue like he said in the historic report there was sprairg in the

neighborhood that will be incorporated both the solar report in terms of the height of the street that's the way the street is sloped we can't do much about it so that's it. >> okay public hearing is closed commissioner moore. >> i'd like to ask the project architect could you come to the podium please if you had a discussion with the applicant prior to this meeting like in the haul today, etc. your mischievous i think t is generous way to address the problem this is as far as someone could respond to the

request on light i've explained this is not falling into a rule or registration to deny. >> we we have the preapplication meeting the neighbor was not there we spoke on the phone several times as gabriel my partner with the 311 notification period we've not spoken since the dr was filed like i said we've not received a response. >> this is the first time that the applicant is suggesting this modification. >> we e-mailed that to him during the 311 notification he didn't respond. >> could you perhaps tell us what you think about the change other thanay
