could be accessible that led to two things one is the fact whether it's two separate buildings which is probably what the first desire is of the appellants vs. the connect our of some types of and a central courtyard the connect our will provide the linkage across the floors i'm guess that appears that the project sponsor wants to aggregate his private activity spaces around 1:00 particular floor and one location and that's his own personal desire i said that i don't see that the bathrooms in terms of their location or anything have anything go to do
6:31 pm
with the ada issues they could be located in turn of their placements it come down to me whether i accept to satisfy the neighbors concerns a large central courtyard that's 0 only thing that will satisfy them what side that do to the project sponsor and their property and i've made a decision in my mind i'm prepared to not force the central courtyard on the project spons sponsor. >> what about the recommendations that are listed on page 2 of the appellants. >> it didn't do anything. >> no, no fromlogically it to 55 feet.
6:32 pm
>> they want the 10 foot clearance to match the ceiling floor line of the existing cottage. >> this is the same problem at the planning commission had as well and i defer to you, your the resident architect that's been here since 18 hundred. >> if you're accepting the floor the act it's one feet higher it didn't effect the shadow the bigger question whether the fourth floor is consistent with either for the neighborhood or you know whether its intended use. >> what about what the commissioners wanted in terms of height does that make a defines of difference to you. >> no. there's no architect on the planning commission so -
6:33 pm
>> excuse me. you're not allowed to participate. >> the other thing i've heard on how much the neighborhood input they've worked with them and bring a project from 39 hundred to 39 hundred and 80 feet is not a compromised and that square feet occurred after the dr in terms of they've made certain reductions in the notch they increased the no such during the course the thirty feet occurred after. >> in the - >> i believe to clarify the changes i see in the plans and the reductions of the 40 square feet were made between meetings 210 east two and 3.
6:34 pm
>> it oriental plan was that 917 so after all the 50 phone calls it went down 40 feet. >> but in terms of what was tracking 0 through the 311 notice what was ultimately approved available those are changes. >> can i get some clarity in the project sponsor. >> your dad and mom house you draw up initially what was the square footage of that. >> what we simpleminded. >> what was your original plan. >> 3917. >> and if i may we took that 40 square feet first of all, thirty percent of the building is dug underground not to go up other floor we're
6:35 pm
allowed by code we took that 40 square feet with even though appellant wished for us to take it off we offered to take it off they had no interest. >> you're arguing your case i didn't ask for that. >> i want to say one more thing at the dr the project was approved at the 3917 all the other changes happened afterward. >> okay. thank you. >> voluntarily. >> that's what i thought. >> scott sanchez planning staff just to clarify those are changes they had proposed between meetings two and three since the commission doesn't take dr they were not going to to make those changes they proposed between hearings two
6:36 pm
and three but made them anyway. >> like i said the original project started at 3917 they were in the dred they took off 40 square feet. >> they've proposed in between meetings two and three they honored those even though the commission didn't impose that. >> madam president you want to weigh in open that (laughter) and i'm stating is also (laughter) i mean i'm not sure we're going to come out where the planning commission didn't. >> the tough things the smallest home on the block happens to be next to his house that's the most impacted they have the most to lose not other
6:37 pm
houses 3 or 6 doors down even though the house happens to be next door their the most impacted so when neighbors want to know why their claiming they're the most impacted a that's where they have their complaint before. >> they're not the only complaint. >> i don't know what to do i don't want to hold up the folks but there are quite a few concerns and property owners have been here since 5 o'clock. >> i'll propose something they sit down and we continue this i know that kind of bites but it is just we got 50 on one side
6:38 pm
and 50 on the other we need more consensus here. >> i'm not sure i see a benefit in this particular case. >> i'm not sure i do either. >> so i hate to put everybody through an official case besides all the other meetings they had. >> but they're close at this point. >> we don't know that. >> then i'll bite the bullet and make a motion i'm going to move that the appeal be denied and that the permit be issued as allowed. >> on the basis of code
