10:13 pm
occupied by the lot the surveillance was scheduled for the july 23rd surveillance hearing, however, the discretionary review was filed after that and the hearing was continued the planning staff has the following public comment some has been passed out 4 additional letters from the neighbors on the same block and from the hill association and two in opposition from a resident in the neighborhood and a letter from the architect engineer and from the project sponsor the neighborhood concerns generally include the proposed private verifies the effects caused by proposed construction and this scale of the proposal those in support of project say it is conceptual and appropriately scaled and they
10:14 pm
find the project sponsor willing to work with the neighborhood and the intent to constrict a green construction and the design team decided the demonstrations pattern is in character with the neighborhood and many four story buildings in the neighborhood and on the street the proposed stories are set back from the suicides wall and the neighboring 4 story building and the rear estimation has as neglectable effect on the neighborhood the project is compatible too on the in terms of the square footage and lot size proposed light well meets more than one mets the residential guidelines in terms of the limited and the par fit is conceptual and there's no
10:15 pm
exceptional six they recommend you not take dr and approve it as is that concludes my presentation. if you have any questions, i'll be happy to answer them. >> so dr requester our team has a 5 minute presentation. >> can i get the slides. >> yes. >> when start speaking sfgovtv will bring them up for you.
10:16 pm
>> outlook good afternoon, commissioners andrew peterson representing the dr requester team they've failed to comply with the set back and an extraordinary circumstances be granted a surveillance to continue the design guidelines our question to the commission what extraordinary circumstances give this project special treatment navigate to the residential guidelinesism are extraordinary and exceptional and the projects current plan will harm the existing neighborhoods asia existing character first 312 green tripled the area on the smallest block incompatible with the
10:17 pm
existing buildings they're a 8 and a half block and among the smallest on the block the proposed changes would create nearly 3 square feet descender than it's neighboring neighbors this falls outside the density range of the block what justifies this inappropriate elements that have avoided the parcel to a did he give to adhere to the guidelines it should respect the buildings and not overcrowd the smallest block, and, secondly, the proposed building does not respect the mid block area and blocks light to the adjacent properties 312 green has 90 no
10:18 pm
yard and enabling the building density willes latd bat this crowding they'll add two light wells and violating the commissions requirement for matching light wells. >> a surveyors report shows the project sponsor filed it fall downly state the garage is half a foot above the elevation it is one and a half foot above the curve that be honoree than the plan and to address those concerns the building should respect the set back requirement from the property line and have a full-size matching light well on the eastern front and lastly because the grades and the adjacent solar appends that violates the state laws to
10:19 pm
protect homeowners assess for solar energy to o so the rooftop shades 40 percent of the area and environmental analysis shows the proposed changes for the height position will increase the position on the solar installation by a factor of 7 greatest during 4:00 p.m. and significantly worse during the winter months as a solar rights act created in 1978 includes protection to allow the residents actually sunlight the project should limit the new structure to 3 floors lastly the boarder question is about the kind of hours that is created if the commission grants this purchased for over one million dollars it will, worthy
10:20 pm
over $2 million this puts it out of reach of the san franciscans myself included and the largest building the greater financial return hence the plan why else go beyond the lots for a single-family home over time will have an impact on the current units for the working as follows that will not remain with the skyrocketing prices to renovate the property if affordable rent control to market rate instead of why not ask the project sponsor to reasonablely scale 3 story residents that prefers the open space and certainly no exceptional reasons where the project sponsor
10:21 pm
shouldn't have to follow the same rules 0 it effect we ask the commission to limit it to 3 stories and comply with the act. >> thank you okay opening it up for public comment for people supporting the dr requester are (calling names). >> good evening i'm the owner of 1416 schizophrenias he will street joining 312 green street one of the things i'm interested 2, 3, 4 is number one it is blufk this fourth floor obstructs my view of the obstructs the view of the trans america building and something like that i grew up at
10:22 pm
16 castle street one of the things i've enjoyed is the roof i'd like at the view of san francisco now you're looking a brick or increment wall another thing i'm interested in what's going to happen to my foundation i spent over $100,000 to repair my foundation 7 years ago and my contractor is very careful he moved the foundation that was attached to 3312 green street moved it back 6 to 10 inches to not disturb their foundation i want to have a guarantee if there's any disadvantage to my foundation someone obey liable and office of the city administrator another thing the heights limits in san francisco is 40 feet; is that correct does the guardrail would it be included in the 40 feet if you
10:23 pm
look at the blue print the guardrail is love the 40 feet limits that's my certain thank you. >> next speaker >> good evening. i'm james kirk at 308 green street two houses down from 312 i want to thank the commission for hearing this item today that's an important issue for me and my neighbors i'm sure you're aware of light and air and green space are hard to come but we're concerned about the proposals we have at milestone my home a beautiful landscaped patio but 312 will dramatically light the
10:24 pm
light our patio receives and the same on our roof-deck instead of a set back for 4 stories with no cigarette on an 18 foot lot we support this, however, it is way out of scale we ask the commission consider the impact of the neighbors of the light and air by granting those expectations i've heard we've asked the developer and haven't heard asked the developer to gave me with the community but didn't i attended the only meeting i was uninvited and jack who lives next door suggested i attend i sheepishly knocked on the door and bruno was very nice by sure you can attend i don't know why this development will
10:25 pm
have no impact on you are that we went fully respectfully ask you not take dr. >> good afternoon. i'm tom i live at 5 minogue place digital behind the proposed project we appreciate our consideration we believe the impact of the mid block space is significant on granting the - does not warrant the granting of the residential guideline code on the floor area of ratio base that's one hundred and 50 powers larger than any nearby property this is why we believe it's out of scale in height and bulk
10:26 pm
most of neighbors have small backyards the increased shadow will impact especially during the wintertime and green space is precious is very scarce in this corner of town we merely ask that the developer and the commission be sensitive to the concerns of light, air and quality of our limited space on telegraph hill thank you. >> are there is there any additional public comment in support of dr? >> i have additional handoutss additional letters that have come in recently. >> i'm jake a neighbor on green street you've heard thank you affair for having us here and
10:27 pm
thank you for your hard work you're doing important work to the city to make sure that wonderful place we get to live makes sense that way thank you. i appreciate that so you've heard a lot of discussion of open space we're only - one the things that the open space in the neighborhood and the city we're one of the densest neighborhood we've our naishdz neighbors are good friends and because of character of that space and the way it is today and how negatively impacted by the shading we changed the character and maybe not had the opportunity to get to know each other in the same way it is needing to be
10:28 pm
persevered if you allow special expectation for something of this sort others will say oh, let's continue down this path it's important inform the city entirety because the solar panels the way the building shades the panels as mentioned during the peak are period of the day when we need the most limit power my solar panels will be shut down we need in resource it is inappropriate from a policy prospective to allow an over development with the negative effects fortunately i think there's a way forward we won't be here
10:29 pm
except the project sponsor is not open to dialog and compromise within the last two weeks we've asked for a professional mediator to come to an accomodation that all the neighbors want to see the project developed while to see work done on the site myself and the another neighbors request you take dr for the project and the important matters we've discussed in consideration. >> is there any additional public comment seeing none, project sponsor our team has 5
10:30 pm
