on the two sides and you have not taken advantage and there are some windows on the side of the dr requestor, but not much on the other side and there are not really any articulations and the dr request's building has articulations that softens it and i am not sure why you did not take advantage of putting it and i know of the property line windows but i would not expect the dr requestor to take out the stairway and fill it in but it seems like you would want to have the softening of the lines and maybe some more windows on that side. >> we did talk to the dr requestor about that and we are concerned about the property line facades and as mentioned previously the noe valley is an evolving neighborhood and it is mixed character. there are empty lots even in the same lot and so it is likely that at some point in time that the neighbor to the west may do something with that property. and so, we did address the property line walls rather than just having the blank facade and likewise we were sensitive to the dr requestor in terms of having a blank wall to them and so we had offered many, and we

feet above it so it is actually down the hill from the dr requestor's home. and which and it is still yet taller, at the end of the day. and lastly the planning code may be met. but the residential design guidelines have not been and we have laid it out clearly in our brief, we are here if you have questions. >> project sponsor you have a two-minute rebuttal. >> we have worked wither closely with staff over the last three years and we have worked closely over the dr requestor over the last three years. all of the neighbors sentiment has come at us in the literally the last two weeks and we frankly don't think that it is fair. we have, the project has been reviewed by the residential design team on three occasions and it is code compliant and with the residential design guidelines and, we hope that you will approve the project as designed. thank you. >> okay. the public hearing is closed. and opening it up to commissioner comments and questions. commissioner antonini? >> thank you. >> interesting discussion and a couple of things that i think are pretty clear.

project. >> yes. >> so it appears there are no speakers in support of the dr requestor. and so we will ask now the project responser and you will have five minutes. you might want to try, there are two microphones there. there you go. thank you commissioner and thank you commissioner chair. my name is cam win owner of the house of 225 santa anna avenue and i have written a request two and a half years ago requesting to remodel my house so that i could live in it in my wheelchair situation. and also on my health situation. in the request that i send via mr., the agent of mine, johnny derosa emphasizes that the three, i am sorry the four objectives that i would like to have in the project both in writing and in drawing, objecting number one the place for me to live has to be healthy, medical, ha bitable. and that includes the air should not be stagnant, should not be full of water in it, and therefore, digging deep down and would not gain me that kind of healthy air to live in. and objective number two, is to keep my house especially with the structural design as it was de

. >> there is no reason that the rest needs to be paved and i think that dr requestor and the rest of the neighborhood would be appreciative of the green space there. thanks a lot. >> you are welcome, thank you. >> and i also am familiar with this area, i drove out there it is not far from where i live and there is a great change between santa ana and boneto not going in those houses whether you have ocean views from the rooms on san bonito or not, i can't really say it will be requestable whether they really exist and i have doubts that a two foot change in elevation is going to eliminate the views even though the views are not protected by us. but, it seems that great change may not be enough to allow every single house on san bonito to look over the topps of santa ana to the ocean. and so that would be the first thing, and this is well drafted, and this is one of the neighborhoods that is well maintained and the houses and the houses are maintained and the houses are well maintained and they are single family homes as they should be and so it is important to me that it stays that w

before it goes back and reflect its should be a requirement of this design and i know that the dr requestor talked about the property and the context of his house, but the rest of the neighborhood is much smaller than his house, and the house across the street is extremely smaller. i thank you for listening to the impute of the neighborhood and it is our naid and i think that the neighborhood of san francisco gives san francisco charm and the neighborhood sensibility should have as much, if not greater priority than the sensibility of the san francisco planning department. thank you for hearing our position. >> next speaker, and i will call a few more names but come on up. >> denise kelky, mark hump rey and dale milfay and elizabeth more. >> i am mark and i live on the same block of the proposed development at 548 dunkan and i have lived there for 48 years and i have been convinced for the neighbors in the neighborhood even longer and just by viewing the current status of the neighborhood, that this development will be a jaring and intrusive and unattractive addition to the valley that we l
