in an e-mail to doug vu in the planning department on april 24, 2017 david winslow said the following: doug, these are the talking points for our current -- our counter proposal. essentially the closer to code compliance, the better, but a far more defensible position vis-a-vis the adjacent residence. mass that respects the midblock open spaces, 140 foot dwelling units at the same size as proposed, 40% bedrooms -- two bedroom bedrooms, and those are the most important. thank you. >> president hillis: thank you, miss montez. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, commissioners. this is henry kleinhenz also from bay crest. i can only reiterate what i said here. bay crest is not against a building of any kind, we just would like to have some input into what is happening there. our interests have not been look ad favorably by the developer, and this is why we are here this afternoon. thanks for letting us talk. >> president hillis: thank you. next speaker, please. >> i'm allison benz. i'm also a homeowner at bay crest, and while i'm impressed with tidewater and war horse, i will just sa

according to doug vu, he said he had reviewed the design with tidewater, which we obtained e-mails from your public records to confirm this. we want to work with tidewater to come to a win-win solution. we are concerned they haven't been as committed to this as bay crest. tidewater spent a lot of time telling you how forthcoming with the community they have been and how many meetings they held. and while i can appreciate how much this has cost them with coffee and donuts in the meetings they have held, i attended meetings where they were not interested in bay crest concerns, but how much their project design was important to them. to me, this does not understand the community's needs but is more about the tidewater project goals. we believe tidewater never considered the two building or two tower design because they wanted to have this 60 foot wide and 84 foot tall space in the center of the proposed building facing south to include units with their million dollar views of the bay. so is tidewater being honest and up front with us? we know they reviewed david winslow's design. what else

vu. project sponsor. >> yes. my name is mark. i am the architect and the project representative today. i would like to thank the commission for hearing or project. we're here as doug recapped for the density to increase the units to 4, which is approvallable by a conditional use as well as we're requesting a rear yard variance due to the particular nature of the site. we have an existing 1920s gas station, which i've been told in the reports that this is one of the first, if not the first gas station in san francisco. it is a 12 by 12 room consisting of steel sash that is approximately another 15 feet in length, the front of the building. if we can have the overhead, we can see the existing site, which is a fairly big void at the corner of 23rd and potrero now that it's been done. many years ago at this point, we have strived to work with the existing historic structure, looked at different options, and ultimately have left the building in place as it currently exists. what we're proposing is to create a new four story building that sits to the west of the existing building and create approximately 500 square feet of new commercial space on the ground floor. the e
