owner you, we prove them and i think this is one of the sites that was meant to be no two bedroom units so i ask question i don't know is that i know it is in the market octavia code but from a policy stand out there are better sites for that i don't think we get the families i think we lost an affordable unit or two which i think is regrettable but the project has exhausted design wise and i like where it is going. >> commissioner richards. >> i think i hear what our saying i recall the hearing on march 26 we had council of

organizations saying they want more unit mix and the other folks have an invested interest in the affordable units let's not be fooled we have a mix but more residents then we'll have from the will units sat down that is all with children and if not short enough to have the two bedrooms the bedroom count is still the same just a different mix and we went down a number of residents but changed the way they live and it's a little bit hard to compare apples and oranges with the original design but now we have that it is what it is. >> thank you. >> commissioner hillis and. >> i mean in the future get data i got it anecdotal i think

that developers deputy two bedrooms but people want but not the families at least we should look at i remember that - provision in the original in market octavia and it came in at the last minute but it pushed for families at some point we should verify it is doing what it should my guess it should and something like that but i think you search warrant have couples that can afford a two unit apartment but do studies to see if we're getting. >> put it on the time list (laughter). >> commissioner moore. >> i like to weigh in on this argument the smaller units which

are not part of unit mix are superior units than what we had before that's where i think commissioner hillis if you compare the previous unit to the smallest units you'd like be surprised that's why the comparison doesn't holed up you need to compare the quality of unit, etc. and in order to make that judgment the calibration guidelines are better and create more furnishable and the overall quality of the building with the required unit mix is superior as an overall solution brought in and quality of pursuit. >> to the question of research and data i think wench laid out

a reoccurring housing item with the staff maybe ask them to include this in that discussion it is hard to have a stand alone discussion commissioner richards. >> i guess i'll ask mr. mark knapp send us an e-mail telling us what kind of families live there we'd appreciate it. >> commissioner there is a motion and a second to approve that commissioner antonini. >> commissioner hillis commissioner moore. >> with the provision that there will be some further discussion between staff and the details materials. >> i believe that is part of the conditions. >>

>> a with regard to the sdwnl the proposal eliminate the housing for pacific heights neighborhood for the value of the existence structure is $3.7 million where the special affordability it $1.5 million based on the appraisal the zoning administrator and the administratively approved the don't guess. >> regarding the new construction they're concerned with the newly constructed building reduces the light and air based on the plan and

proposal the proposed building pardon me based on the plans the proposed building the dr requesters matched the design guidelines the lightwell are on a in 3 parts of plans in our packet the second concern is the capability with the neighborhood of the proposed building with the neighborhood residential design team reviewed the proposal and find the window alignment and horizon corridors are consistent that the neighborhood in the subject property at this time the department has not found exceptional or extraordinary circumstances and recommends approval of the project thank you and i'll be happy to answer any questions. >> dr requester. >> if you could rim me it's 5

minutes for the team. >> it is 5 minutes. >> good evening commissioner wu and commissioners ryan patterson for the dr requesters we're in a strange situation in the middle of finalizing a settlement with the dr requester and we have in hand with amended plans the question that is come up is what does is it mean to match the bottom of the adjacent lightwell and as shown in the amended plans we thought we'd cleared the lightwell where they were going to be aligned i think it is to be determined where the lightwell will be relative to ours we need 10 minutes to figure out this otherwise we're prepared to go forward with the

dr but we want american people amicable outcome between the parties in the commission is amenable to take this to the next item hopefully that will do the trick. >> there's no other items. >> we'll be grateful the architect has reservations it is more significant i'd like to avoid this perp. >> thank you. >> depending upon how the commission would like my client is - the son is going to lose air and light to his room. >> why not pause and have the commission deliberate on a possible continues continuance if we are 10 minutes away i'll support a continuance with the hope that in the time that we

would i cannot you and next week come to our agreement. >> you can continue it to june 25th. >> i make a motion to continue. >> i wonder if we continue definitely if they come to an agreement- >> if - >> zoning administrator. >> if it is indefinite continuance we'll have to continue. >> if they continue it didn't have to come before you. >> i make a motion to continue to june 25th. >> we should afford public comment. >> i'll have commissioner antonini speak first. >> going to say it's okay. on the continuance but it might be useful for the item that has been discussed item to be presented as far as the

alignment of the lightwells but if you don't want to see or do that that's fine. >> i don't feel like that's necessary from the parties come to on a agreement we need to take public comment if is there anyone from the public that wishes to speak whether tea support or don't support a continuance. >> public comment is closed. >> commissioners on the motion to continue this to june trying. >> commissioner antonini. >> commissioner hillis commissioner moore commissioner richards and commissioner wu. >> so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 5 to zero. >> and places you under general public comment there are no speaker cards. >> any general public comment seeing none general public comment is closed. meeting

the property line to 225 - that concludes my presentation. and i'll be happy to answer any questions after the appellant. >> i'm sorry can we i just had a quick question it is not clear from the pictures what was going on it seems like is that behind one 200 shakespeare the wall is in question sort of downhill i remember seeing this case before looking at the pictures actually

confused me more. >> at the rear of the property. >> uh-huh. >> and adjoining a street. >> it is downhill or uphill. >> downhill. >> okay. yeah i see that but - >> but that looks like the side yard. >> are we looking at - >> yeah. that looks at - >> i think that might be where it is. >> i'll show you - >> okay there. >> so the building this is the rear of the building and this is the area in questioning and the

retaining wall is at wheel. >> i see okay. thank you. >> so it's back here. >> can - could you put that map back up the plan back up. >> the one 20 shakespeare is at the left and the adjoining neighbor on the right. >> not shown on the drawing but but the neighbor - >> at the rear and the neighbor is downhill below the level of shakespeare house. >> yes. >> thank you inspector. >> thank you. >> okay. the appellant. >> come forward. >> sorry i forget to announce both parties have 7 minutes for the presentation and 3 minutes for the member of the public.

>> i'm the spokeswoman for the gentleman now the service is no longer required we submitted an additional document to you now the first agenda is that we're trying to dispute or refute the first citation that one that one we are saying that you know the structure separate permitted for building structured are structured requires both permit now to our understanding the inspector measured the floor sitting on natural ground okay. those are the 2 hundred square feet he mentioned

existing storage i believe dissects all right. so now the citation actually led to citation which is 101 excuse me. >> the one 02 dot one the unsave building now the 1016 dot one, if it is a masonry bricks on the ground i wasn't permitted to do that and actually dispute the foundation beneath that we have a picture when the flooring was actually moved no foundation no permit instructed and i'm going to it - i think that is on this one.

>> commissioner walker do you have a question. >> yeah. i see i mean without the brick - >> i can explain that later on. >> that is the area of the storage shed and the floor which is this one here is just on the floor. >> uh-huh. >> some are no foundation nothing structured that can say that is a permanent structure okay now on the site plan shown by the dbi that's right you can see from this point that the actual storage shed is about 35 feet away from the retaining wall and this is where the citation description because of this you know the dirt went to the backside and so on across the unsave you know of the structure

and there was no mechanical use you know putting the pipe on and the masonry bricks and the storage shed or the power tools pretty much is manual itself so the point as we discussions about the neighbor that's been asking for a compensation or you can see restructuring of the retaining wall for the use the gentleman acquired the property there's no rain for us to constrict the wall it was a a long time ago if you look at the mls that was submitted to you the mls the property actually was built before the complainant and the property has been there for a long, long time even before we sold the property the

way we look at it there was a discretionary about the plumbing one inch from the 4 feet from the top of the retaining wall okay. so the issue is the citation which is one 06 actually could you have been the california - the san francisco building codes that is - okay one 05 and the one 06 a dot 2 it means that the storage house was built 10 by 6 and it didn't exposed one inch four feet as far as the building permit so that's the argument what is it all about and the citation is that such that it requires a building permit so one 05

building code and one 05 is the same thing no permit for the storage shed explicit exceed one square feet and the actual storage shed are one by 6 we have the photograph of that storage shed that also i think this one here. >> can you put it on the overhead. >> face down. >> face up in the direction of you. >> as you can see the distance from the space of the storage shed from the retaining wall is 5 feet and to you know effect or impact on the retaining wall itself this is one of the issues that,

you know we would like to from the citation based on the california building codes and san francisco building codes as well now the second agenda we have is the citation of one 02 dot one which is fine as a unsafe building with the citation all of the charges being brought against the gentleman like you need to have a permit for this you have to have is structurally assigned and the contractor to do that so as a matter of fact those charges doesn't apply under the what is cited a one 02a dot one because the one
