d.r. requestor? >> no. i'm speaking for the d.r. requestor, in support of her, yes. i'm giving you a history of her project for historical relevance. this particular project, if you can show that house, that house was built 10 years ago and that was the last house built in balboa terrace before we became a designated balboa district. today if this project was to be put forth before the board, we probably would not approve it. in 10 years' time, you know, you have the historic and different planning departments. so i would just like to show that. i also have another point. this is the current dormer on the south side of the home. this is what they have now. i will struggle with this one because it's a little big. this is the proposed dormer, roughly 30 feet long, projects out 12 feet. you have two projecting dormers on the side, which to me, i don't think the classic style dormers. they look like a barn that you see when you have a hay loft. i question the design. the overlap of the windows for the neighbor on the next side, the tan residents, they will have to have a

d.r. requestor's own home at 307 san leandro way. i think our home values have only increased with these improvements. and i think the city should continue to support them. in my opinion, the proposed changes are very small and go well with the character of the neighborhood. please approve the project because my wife and i are directly affected if this project is not approved. the project sponsors are currently squatting at my house. [laughter] and they will not leave until they can move into their own home after it's renovated. the longer this is delayed. the longer i have it continue to supply a roof over their heads. please approve this project. thank you. >> vice president melgar: any other comments in support of the project sponsors? please come up. >> good afternoon, commissioners. my name is kevin mulivant. i have lived in balboa terrace for 19 years. i'm a former treasurer of balboa terrace home association. i'm writing to provide full support of the 300 darien way project as approved by s.f. historic design. over 100 balboa
