11:03 pm

11:14 pm
times the length elizabeth of the building the plans presented to the planning commission 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.

11:16 pm
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
11:17 pm
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
11:18 pm
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
11:19 pm
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
11:20 pm
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.

11:22 pm
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
11:23 pm
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
11:24 pm
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
11:25 pm
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
11:26 pm
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
11:27 pm
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
11:28 pm
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

11:30 pm
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
