we already have a code book. we have pictures in the code book. but what we need is something to go through. we have a plan and it's the set of plans that we can go off of as well so just a reminder when we should be looking at things. some of the big things -- we get the big things and the toilets where they're supposed to be and when i check the fas set a certain size and we need the reminders that okay are we looking at a doctor's office? do i need to relook at the parking? if someone wants to change something okay is it allowed under the new code and gives a checklist to make sure we're not running -- because the plans aren't always the way the plans are when they get built so this has been well received. if nothing else it helps them to go to answer the questions and gives the sections they need to go to and one of the things that the guys really like. it's only been a week. i haven't gotten a lot of feedback with. if it's five pages they're not going to use it. two pages yeah we can use it. >> thank you. how liz how does the enforcement play

there were questions i had when i read the planning code amendments over the weekend. i will say a couple things, i do think the thereis a question that needs to be had on the board when we increase the number of units built on certain sites which this legislation does, but what is sth benefit and the cost and are we insurer there are befores to the community when we confur blfts on the developer. what made me feel comfortable at land use-i was worried about taking away the minimum square footage for units, a because i don't think micro units create more affordable housing. it duntz necessarily address the housing needs we need to see in the city. i know there is debate about this on the board. 2, that we confer a benefit by allowing more units to be built on the same unit. a couple things helped alleviate the concern, one the 40 percent requirement for 2 bedroom unit or more will be kept in place insureing it is not just 150-354 feet that can be built and profit from. as we think about what is means to raise affordability we are limited in being able to do this outsid

and we've doing every thing we can to minimize the obstructions from the facility as i mention the code protects private views and an approval for significant brksz of this view we concur with the planning department no significant obstructions and therefore it will survive the conditions if in the future there can restrictions we very much appreciate the time and effort and i'm available to answer any questions. >> question counselor. >> yes. >> is there a different unit on this one i believe you stated it was 24 inches high and 15 inches wide you're saying this measures what. >> i apologize if i created a confirmation an antenna canister that is 24 inches tall and 16 inches in diameter on a side bracket and geothe p for what gets mounted open a pole allows the alignment of the pole which is why we can't mount it the canister it is 24 inches high and 15 in diameter two captain stares and mandatory meter for pacific gas & electric and omar asked for a smaller meter and that meter hesitate a disconnect switch its required law and that's actually owned by pg&e a requirement. >> thank you.
