d.r. requestor you , you have two minutews for rebuttal. >> i think the neighborhood association is well respected and has people that have the concern of the community at heart. they strongly recommended that we explore options for saving what they deem to be a significant landscape, if the trees were removed, a serious error. the report attached to the packet is a very extensive. he specified that the amount of room to fall that was required to save the juniper and he felt that it was perfectly adequate and specified that in conjunction. and also, the 12 inch increase is not unreasonable if it allows the saving of both the juniper and the street tree and retains the landscape intact rather than a very small or replacement of 3 immediately adjacent to the front of the house. i would request that you do what is possible to change the driveway to accommodate these existing trees. president olague: project sponsor, you have two minutes. >> there was a discussion in a previous hearing about the facts and opinions. i wanted to share 4 fax with you. this is from the executive director of the san franci

project sponsor, you have two minutes. >> commissioners, as far as the d.r. requestor stated, there is not sufficient data on the survey map that shows how height has been calculated. however, this is not a construction sat. et. this is a set that describes both. we are an engineering firm, maybe we are a few inches off. this is a new construction. the surveyor will have to go to the site and marked the corners of the building. it will have to develop enough details for us to prepare a construction set. we will not build something that is too tall and in the middle of the disk -- construction get dragged into mitigation --litig. this is news to me. if they were telling me i had of time, -- ahead of time, let me know if you can give me more points, but he was not reachabl e. i can assure you that this building is going to be -- [chime] . president olague: the public hearing is closed. >> commissioners, i would like to respond to a couple of the issues brought up with regard to height. i understand the concerns over the survey, but we routinely rely on surveys by enginee

d.r. requestor? >> good afternoon, i'm a member of the design review board. you got a letter from us that mentions that in the process of several meetings, we asked for modifications to this project. the last time we were here, the commission asked for a different look at this. we looked at the most recent plan and thought that if that the east slope building guidelines which include things like side setbacks, entrances on the side of these houses. we like the fact that they step out at the back of a lot. and we ask for a front set back on the top floor that people are discussing the that it would not have as much impact on the street. that is the kind of thing that we generally looked at in all of the project we see. we have said that a lot of the other technical issues, the engineering issues are not really something that arour designer of you can deal with. i am sure that the planning department doesn't even have to deal with some of these things. i would like to request that the staff for somebody record a restriction for an easement so that the broad parking
