job other's 3 story design is not feasible, is not buildable, and he said he spoke what the department inspector who said it is possible, but there are no stems or drawings from that person. sue hastert tried to tell you the plants and from a few cannot be approved, but we followed plan department guidelines that if approved tonight. it she said we need a variance to get approval, and that is not true. it is helpful to accomplish family sized housing. this is not a particularly narrow street. it is walkable. many have you -- many of you have done that already. it is financially possible that the building that joe butler suggested is not financially possible to be built. it is not code compliant or sellable. last, don't try to split the difference between the 25 foot building they are suggesting and are 36-foot tall building. we already responded to the height concerns by making a $200,000 investment in the new design to respond to the concerns on a number of levels, including design-related, to make the building conform to the neighborhood and the church does not stick out like a sore

city of san francisco says and the building department takes this position that there is no one buildable lot -- unbuildable lot. i wonder if this is realistic. >> if money is an issue, we can develop solutions that will mitigate the impact. that a solution can be eliminating the hill, that can eliminate the problem. or build a structure right into the hill so there is no longer an exposed face or bold enough of iraq together so that it acts as a big buttress to prevent further movement. -- or hold enough of the rock together so that it acts as a big buttress. we are allowing the wall of the building to act as a retaining structure. there was a time when we did not get any. there was an epic one before in 1982. we brought with us and rainfall charge. >> you were saying that this is somehow correlated to rainfall. this goes from 1914 until 2006. it is the red line in the backgrounds which are the annual rainfall from each year is plotted on here. you can see it varies all over the place. if you take an average, the average is a thin gray line. that does not give you a feel for what the rai
