there was a thousand dollar d.r. request. not me. insuring one ever does get built is consistent with the neighborhood character, and most importantly, to ensure development does not cause additional hazards in the neighborhood. with knowledge that the project sponsor has made major modifications in the right direction, but we are unable to resolve all the issues. the issues yet to be resolved are the nonconforming second story over the broad, the practicality, usability, and the safety of the parking arrangements, and the potential hazards associated with the sidewalk and the proposed downhill curvb cut. commissioners, we regretfully but strong fully disagree givene setback. the setback will hide the conformity if you're standing right there in front of the building. directly across the street, the sidewalk is 5 feet higher. the buildings are 10-15 feet higher. clearly, the vision from those buildings, the reply will not be from that perspective. either will of the conforming from my house on the corner or from cesar chavez. when we

president olague: we will hear from supporters of the d.r. requestor at this time. [reading names] i'm sorry, there is a second requestor. we have two d's. go ahead. >> thank you for your time. i am going to talk about the mass in relationship to the rest of the neighborhood. my name is michael mchaden. yesterday i took some pictures from the overpass. this is lucy's house and over here is 1569 hampshire street. based on the plans that we have, i found the relative high compared to lucy's house -- here is a closer view of allthe lot. this is 1569 hampshire street. based on the dimensions that i had, i prepared some cut-outs. the purpose of this demonstration is to show that the three-story building is not in conforming with the special use district requirement that houses in general follow the slope of the hill. down here, we can see the retaining wall, and it actually doesn't follow the slow, it is a bit more like that. is that better? we will go with that. if we bring up the line from the retaining wall, it is about that. we can see that the third story building i

d.r. requestor? seeing none, project sponsor. >> in the afternoon, members of the commission. first of all, i would like to apologize for being here. i would like to let you know that my firm, we have been doing design and engineering development in this town for the last 30 years. i am a partner for the last 15 years, and you rarely see me before you. if you do see me here, is for conditional use permits for some technicality. the reason is that i have a san franciscan, i love to briefs and francisco air, i love the people. i always try to work out my issues with the neighbors. this is no different. months and months, before we submitted to the permit, we met with the neighborhood association and with the neighbors. we used the math of the building going from property line to property line, produced in on both lots. with regards to excavation and how it was going to go off, let's be sensitive about it and we raised the level of the garage to 4 feet below the sidewalk level. and during the

d.r. requestor, you have two minutes. >> commissioners, he did approach me and we had a good conversation. what i said to him was that if there are no -- everything is conforming, but there are no issues to be addressed and no safety issues, we will probably have a pretty good project. that is not what we found. there are still issues, maybe they can explain them with the safety of the parking situation and increase the drainage. i just want to point out high additional document - -m0- my additional document. >> [inaudible] >> all the hpagepages here confm to the building heights. let's have consistency. the stepping down. that is not what we have. we have a third loevel, a second floor over the garage. that is not uniform for the neighborhood. i can understand why, it is a beautiful option, but it is not conforming as far as we are concerned. president olague: thank you. project sponsor, you have two minutes. >> commissioners, as far as the d.r. requestor stated, there is not sufficient d

here at "the d.r. show" we're mobilizing, as you know, against what i like to call the green car tan. a rather impenetrable wall of money that surrounds the totality of american policy making preventing all of us from engaging in what i believe is the debate america deserves. i don't know how to solve our problems but i sure would like to talk about it. we've launched a petition getmoneyout.com and we've launched our campaign for a constitutional amendment yesterday. and today i am happy to report that in 24 hours more than 28,000 of you have already signed up to join the very simple effort to get money out. even our own congress has noticed. last night we got into a twitter conversation with congresswoman donna edwards who has her own constitutional amendment. cheers, she wrote. billions must deband this before congress has courage to act against moneyied interests, she tweeted. we know, congressman, we know, and that's why we're demanding an unrelenting organizing force, a massive one, over the next

of the nine or 10 changes staff wanted and it was surprising that the staff and not a neighbor would d.r. the project. there are portions that planning thinks are excessive. let's start with those. the staircase, a doughnut hole in the middle of a staircase is making it grandiose. it is the home of a future wheelchair accessible elevator once jean's parents move in and stairs become inaccessible. they believe the third floor deck is larger than needed and the two light rails should be put in the center of the building. the solution was to -- space that's on the third floor brings in light and heat into the interior rooms, provides some shelter and a neighbor asked that there be no stairs to the roof because of its height and the roof deck was eliminated and this takes its place. that makes this open space very important. i heard it asked why two parents cannot share one work space. graphics are certainly a noisy showing produce. the overhead drawing shows that john and jean would lose a bedroom. the next one, the planning department requires 15-foot setback be done. why? because the form

residential which are not accept to believe the neighborhood and unless somebody gets on it and filed a d.r., all of a sudden it's done and no day in court. so i am fine with this particular project but glad comments were brought up about the change of views. >> thank you. president olague: commissioner moore. commissioner moore: mr. sanchez, i mentioned this last week and i think i have asked it before. i think it would help the public greatly to understand the tech niek of using designated -- the technique of using designated preference sites to explain what you are primarily looking for when you are trying to permit or ask us to approve the location of antennas. and with that, with that not fully being explained, i think the public is missing a very important piece of information and would help people sitting here wondering why we are not at all entitled to comment on this. and there is the process in the planning department which is quite thoughtful and the consideration described as preference sites. and for the planning department to perhaps explain on the website in order to make it
