rhythm & patterson of the street facade. i modifying prefer the 6th day design. i still had an e-mail and my comment was mr. van gogh designed this in the city and the columns you see on the outside of the building are fake and they don't connect to the ground even. the idea those two particular columns on either end don't support anyone is not visible only to people who know it is not connected. the visually the pattern is much more in keeping with the pattern in this district there was a lot of conversation in the staff report it never came out here about the base. some idea of base that's been added and you know, i had a few comments about it because in the staff report it created the kind of two part come accusation it's typical in the district. again walking around the district the base is a one story or two story element it's not a 18 inch on one side and kind of encompass into the ground on the other so looking at the post street facade it doesn't seem any different than before. when i heard about a base i was encoura

other so looking at the post street facade it doesn't seem any different than before. when i heard about a base i was encouraged that would create something at least that sense that the building was sitting on something but don't see how that's been executed in a way that it relates to the district. the heights one thing it's a question i walked around union jury and saw the shortest building is 3 steroids not 4 stories it's four stories. >> where. >> on post and pile the old disney. but implicit i don't see the scale as being a specific issue that would, you know, make-or-break the building i think the stepping of the mask down in essence the whole bar issue is the tail wagging the dog no one it looking at that it fits in so well we're looking at the frame and glass facade. so i don't think we should be swayed by conversation of the one sixth of the site is the piece that matters and it's been brought out by a number of the speakers. i'm concerned about the stockton side there's no change there and the question about the variance that's required. i've sought variances

the large door and breaking down the facade in the bays is successful. i personally don't have a preference brown whether it's 4 bays or 6 bays. as i said the ar c meeting i think the plaza is a - will be a wonderful space. it improves the context for the roof fountain. i don't have a particular concern about the stockton street facade with exception maybe setting precedent. some of the things that have not been addressed from the ar c ru6 address one of the scale i don't see the project have changed role significantly enough to change the scale. we could i guess debate whether it brings it down to the pedestrian level or not that's up for debate. i expressed a concern there's no corn on this building it would be in the middle of the block and the design is the same. the height of the building and the staff analysis says it matches the adjacent building bus it's only the bar building it matches. i continue to have concern about the height. the other two buildings at least one of them the nicky building open the one corn and the other digitally their 7 to

so, that's what's meant by facade. that's where we think, yes, i think you're right, 83,000 isn't a lot, but to the extent it can leverage other city programs to really make a dent in a corridor, a commercial corridor -- >> if it's faceless. >> would be a good use of funds. >> excellent. >> okay. i have a real quick question on the structure of the rops themselves. so, i understand what you're saying about the change dos has requested in terms of how you think about reserves and encumbered funds. but when i look at the spreadsheet that we all have to now look at every six months, there's still only one column for reserves. so, how is that not confusing -- >> i can't say that it's not confusing. i think it means that he we will have a number of, you know, tracking spreadsheets to help us keep track, but the idea is that what shows up in terms of spending activity, when we look at 1415 a, if we're showing it on there really it's because it's either a new item, it wasn't on rops 13 14 b, or it was on rops 13 14 b, but it'

currently under construction as well as new antennas on the east facing facade. the three additional tennants will be installed to the penthouse. in order to meet the visual impact of the tennants, a collar will be placed below the antenna to hide the key loop below the antenna and back opportunity to cable towards the rear of the building. as this site currently contains at&t mobility, the site is considered a colocation location site and a preference to the guidelines. the applicants did hold a community meeting to the project and a number of the community members acquired about the health effects of the project. the carrier did provide a third party review of the coverage capacity gap needed by the additional and antennas. staff support the project as approved and complies with the guidelines. that concludes my presentation. >> thank you. >vice-president cindy wu: project sponsor? >> good afternoon, i'm the director of external affairs for at&t california. i'm with the consulting engineers who conducted the frequency test and the third party analysis included

the form facade widths proportion gradually step upsloping topography. the structures are face the neighborhood character. the glaes, aluminum doors and along the primary facade are in character and offer a contemporary expression to the revival style building in the surrounding neighborhood. with the exception of the rear yard requirement, the project is code compliant. this district is intended to accommodate a greater density than what currently exist under this under utilized lot and to accommodate maximum density. finally the project will result in a net gain of three dwelling units and all four 4 units will be family sized with three bedrooms each. retaining to the department use. the department recommends approval of this project. i'm available for questions. >vice-president cindy wu: thank you. project sponsor? >> thank you commissioners. congratulations president wu. i'm pleased to present today a project at 412617 street. my name is fill ips and representing the project. this project as mentioned by staff is bringing four new family homes to th

in response to the comments from the ar c we added columns to the south facade to beak up the rhythm of the south elevation but we actually added open windows. as you see in the rendering there those large sliding glass doors will open to the streets and open to union square. didn't we that that was taking on board the comments and turn it to even a more enjoyable feature. so at times the weather won't be good to have them open so the doors will sometimes be closed but we still include parcels on either side of the elevation to the east and west so if the demeanors are fully closed you can exit by the fire escapes. it holds the corner of posting streets and we felt the triangular form would correct so it creates a rhythm down stockton street. it's complicated building structure we're building over the hyatt ball room we're building over a ballroom it's going to be complicated as a result, it didn't have columns in the space we have a boisterous wall to the back and we have the revolver. the two sides brace the structure so their solid with the structure. we liken it not to pursue it

the existing building as i see it today on the site actually has some rhythm to the facade and this is one the comments. we're actually working with the h pc comments and we've been through a process that our design and this is the councilman we're representing today. what interested us was the two spaces the plaza space and in this rendering you see the emphasis of the building locking throughful from union square and connecting it back to the new plaza. it's important to see this that there is public space behind it. at the same time our concept design for had this building was to treat the little liquor a stage set. you see the performance of the demonstration and everything that goes on in the store the leaguer glassed window looking at the union square. in response to the comments from the ar c we added columns to the south facade to beak up the rhythm of the south elevation but we actually added open windows. as you see in the rendering there those large sliding glass doors will open to the streets and open to union square. didn't we that that was taking on board the comments and
