and we look at the orange box, and as expansion ideas, and we started off with over 100 expansion ideas and we reduce this with two criteria and the free screen, land use density and available corridor and took us to about 30 projects to evaluate further, and these are reviewed with the first level or the qualitative criteria that the board directed us to use. so we now have what we call the limited list and that is about 15 expansion ideas and we are going to review the san francisco expansion ideas this morning. they same time we are preparing the expansion projects with the state of good repair and the capacity project and expect to return to the board with what we will think of as the short list and the three to five projects where we are going to ask them to advance for the study. >> these are the goals that objectives that the board directed us to use and it started with the universal big three and the economy and environment and equity and we weighted about one-third together and we noted in the service and system performance and these are bart center concerns and those are one-t

those modest expansions that are taking place. with that said i want to go back in time and take us to the 2012 exemption appeal and the the board didn't hold a hearing on that because there was an a settlement agreement and at the time that exemption dealt with the crux of the neighbors concern and then going on to expand the ground floor level towards the rear of the building and again in 2012 exemption issued for that site permit and related permits. fast forward to today and the exemption in 2012 based on the same evidence that planning department goes through and historic resources using the guidelines and again found after an analysis that there were no impacts from the height or curb cut. we're hear today same appellant, same issues, different scope of work in fact more modest scope of work. the scope of work for this project is we've got 2 roof decks alteration and lowering the main entry threshold once again the planning department engaged in the review of the potential impact to the home's historic features and once agai

from the beginning jim and an mary asked for just enough of an expansion to accommodate their family's needs. our design discussions centered around if we setback the massing along this side to minimize the potential impact of thisnable neighbor? if he setback the guardrail it, it decreases the concerns ofprive cirrus for this neighbor and the entire focus focused on compact design latow. we could have expanded wider. we could have expanded deeper. we could have expanded taller. the proposed design however i think is best described by the residential design team quotes "the proposed addition say one-story permitted obstruction of modest size and reasonable depth and does not disrupt the mid-block open space." the seat bac is sensitive to the adjacent building in terms of mass, privacy and sight lines. the proposed deck is setback from the adjacent property to the north and addresses potentially privacy and security concerns." commissioners we don't have massive volumes of legal responses to the dr requesters partial citations and inaccurate -- but what we have is a hard-working san fra
