facade. i am testifying tonight that the board should correct the oversight by the commission, and for this board to use your powers of discretion to discuss this battle front mediterranean revival facade and preserve it. but before i continue, i want to assure the board that i am not asking you to declare this an historic resource. i am asking you to make an ed situation regarding the unique -- a decision regarding the unique to san francisco facade which will also be based on aesthetics of a unique residential structure. may i have the overhead please? this is a really nice facade. it is in beautiful condition with wonderful details as i outline in my brief. and it is original from 1927, nearly 92 years ago. here is a house that is nearby at 1525 knowing that is pending sale and is also a battle front mediterranean revival. it is described as battle front mediterranean in the brochure and as it turns out, it was also built by andrew berwick in 1927. several months after he took out the perm

our home is the one with the decks in the darker facade. the subject property is to the left of the picture. using that as a reference, if you go back to the second page on the back, you'll notice that from seward street, we are two-level property. we're four-level prompt, so is the subject. they can do within the envelope without punching through the roof. if you look at the picture that i'm referring to, all six of the homes built by the same developer, you'll see that we're all even. this is going to be a bump up into the higher level which throws it all out of kilter. if you go to page -- melgarside your tim we have a very long hearing ahead of us. thank you very much. >> sir, your time is up. >> president melgar: we understand. thank you very much. any other public comment on this item? please come up. >> i'm at 71 seward street. i been in neighborhood 35 years. i mirror from everything you heard. i love the idea of people coming in and remodeling. that's required. it's wonderful to do that. these houses are old. i remodeled my house w

faÇade with varied reflections and shadows.escribes the sides together, and there is a grassy connector which becomes a natural entry to this building. lastly, a few images of the potential future interior and what it might look like with views of downtown. we welcome your comments. >> thank you. is there any public comment on this item? please come on up. if -- i'm sorry? okay. i have betty and others. anyone else who wants to speak, please line up on the left side and come on up. >> hello. i'm anthony. i'm a member of the board of an organization called the san franciscans for sports and recreation. that is an organization that had its origin in a group of people who saw the tennis club disappearing, and they had a good run, and it was always the unrealistic down there, but in the concern that came out of that, we formed this organization because we became to realize there was a larger problem in san francisco of lack of sports facilities and recreation facilities generally. we formed this larger group, and we have been worki

with the 5-foot of the faÇade and the deck itself is 10-foot six, it gives us 15 feet.e go back 12 or 15 feet, we basically have 6 inches left for the deck. you might as well ditch it, particularly, unless the rest of the unit plans change, we are not able to accommodate a deck here. >> i think the general requirement from planning is 15 feet to the building face, not to deck use. is that correct? >> 5 feet off the property line. >> that is on the side property. >> we are talking about the setback. >> the deck on the top floor of the building face. 15 feet is standard. >> to the building face, not to any edge of the deck. >> no, 5 feet is standard for the setback for the decks that are located at the front of the building. >> the only thing is we would have to pinch the deck in from both sides, the east and west side and it would sit on the property line above the adjoining building. we will pull that in at a minimum -- at a minimum by 5 feet, which is not diminishing the quality of the deck itself. we have in over 25-foot lot here , which is standard here. we could app

i do think that it's important to preserve the facade. like mr. teague said, mary brown's study is a graeat stud. she's not saying everything is historic, let's look at everything. as she said, conduct a focused evaluative survey of houses in the district. although there were relatively few houses in the sunset area, it appears to be the most common home constructed in the 1920's. mary brown, unfortunately passed away, and she didn't get to do more work, and that's the sad thing. and here we go, this is pending sale, $2.25 million. i'm not saying you can't do that. they remodelled this, they put another bedroom below the garage. if you're preserving facades like this, and this one actually is mr. o'driscoll's other property right there in noe, he's preserving the facade, you can do it. i think this is a tragedy. i think this is another in-fill in noe valley. i think they need to be preserved. you have the discretion to do it. it's a condition you can add. if you want to care -- i know you care about this, and you should because that comnates the p

come in, you get the permit, no plans, over the counter, facade change, get the permit same day. now granted that they get their c.u. for this, that they will now have to come out, fill out an application, provide the plans showing elevations, demo calculation and submit it for in-house review. so what became a same-day permit, over-the-counter, now could take up to 9 to 12 months for the process of just changing your facade. [laughter] back to planning. >> okay. it sounds like the demolition criteria for c.e.u. to be approved have kind of been highlighted through the examples. happy to go over those in questions. but the power point presentation does have them. it's two slides. it's page 35. actually i'm not sure -- yes. slide 35 and 36, if people have questions about that. and then we'll go into our second case study. >> thank you. i did have a question for mr. hepner. so the -- i wanted to understand the numbers for the conditions, under which mergers -- i mean, so the 1200 square feet average size or existing units within 300 radius. where did those numbers come from? >> i be

a breakfast nook and the two bedrooms there and put the second unit in a garage and preserve the facade. i mean, there's a house around the corner from it built by the same guy as i said last night and there it is. they preserved it. it's going for two and a quarter million dollars and that is the pending. i don't know what it sold for. again, you know, here is another one that is gone. another one of -- that's gone and this is it in the process so i'm getting back to your whole issue with the demo calcs. there it is and there it is now. it's all gone. so, i want to thank the commissioner for considering the demo calcs. you never started the clock on me but that's ok. i do want to thank mr. heppner because he worked hard and his heart is really in the right place. i hope that you know, people appreciate that and that we proceed and everybody is happy in the end. thank you, very much. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> i have a mental clock. >> overhead as well. and i have copies of this to to handout. because you can't see the whole thing, you are not seeing the top. this is a notic

approval in 2012 includes the front facade bay windows. as approved by the h.p.c., the square projecting base were to have windows that wrapped around the building's corner. as built, they have large windows at the front and side. the a.r.c. found the bays are in keeping with the traditional base and character of historic building form in the district in victorian and edwardian. and angled balconies were approved by h.p.c. in 2012 and as built t rear elevation is composed of rectangular balconies with glazing and glass railings. the rear balconies are only slightly vizable from the street due to the parking lot are compatible. the last item is the roof penthouse. although it is not as tall as originally proposed, it is larger in square footage, and in the different configuration than originally approved. the arc found that the penthouse is substantially set back, subordinate to the main volume and does not attract to the primary facade in a matter that is compatible with the district despite the light visibility from the adjacent parking l

this rendering of the popo shows the change to a shopfront scale of faÇades clad in a wood, and relatingto the warm materials of the park, and with a deeply textured, corrugated, terra-cotta cladding i mentioned of the villa -- building faÇade above. the highly accessible and connected activities and businesses enliven the public pathways and the street frontages through visually permeable, and physically accessible retail, lobbies, and amenity spaces. the outdoor space and green landscape extend into the upper levels of the building, and here you get a closer view of the diversity of textures of the building materials interspersed with green landscape. the overall project goals have been to create a project that adds real and inviting public space. amenities and retail opportunities to the residents of the neighborhood, and to capture the unique spirit of soma. to create a design and material palette that is a contemporary interpretation of the surrounding urban fabric and context, and ultimately, working to create not a single mono themed campus, but rather a heterogeneous and lively c

is a 10-story neon ladder which is going to go on the front of 1066 market, on the market street facade. i think it's a really conceptually wonderful piece. i think it's also -- i certainly remember in my childhood, fire escape ladders. i know for some, it's something you also see in photos, but it also brings back the concept of a marquis that used to be on market street. it's his first public permanent artwork, and the budget is $755,000. i don't know if the commissioners have any questions. >> vice president koppel: we may. you have 3.5 or 4 minutes. do you want to say anything else? >> it's a very conceptually strong artwork, so i don't think it needs much more description. >> vice president koppel: why don't we go ahead and open this up for public comment. any members of the public wish to comment on this item? come on up. >> i'm just wondering, will it be different colors or will it always be white like it's in the picture? >> no. we definitely know that. it will be white, and we'll be able to work -- we'll have the ability to dim or strengthen it. we'll also have the ability to t

cancel late -- calculation was done any depth of 68 feet, as opposed to 55 from the front of the faÇadewhich would be much more difficult in other parts of san francisco. so, if there are any other variances on the street that i am aware of, they are typically created, they are on extended lots with one and a half that have been created from one and a half lots combined, so they face on two adjacent backyards, not on onto buildings, again, they don't obstruct the natural light of neighbors. i'm really tired right now. i came back really late to come back to this meeting. let's say, so, light and air are protected in san francisco, and a variance is an exception to the san francisco planning code. >> thank you, your time is up. >> sorry. >> you get three minutes. >> any variance will have no immediate benefit to the neighbors, and it will take wait natural light and green space. >> thank you. you get three minutes. >> next speaker, please. >> thank you for taking the time i live directly across from 45. i have lived there since 2009. in december of last year, my wife and i bought number

going on terraces rooftops and facades are some of the only opportunities that are left for us as a city. before the roof can undergo such a transition the structure of the buildings needs to be checked and apartment owners have to contribute financially to the project of the city or for a teaser choosing plants that are extremely heat resistant and only need a little water that ideally is provided by rainwater collected in tanks the new greenspace can reduce the heat on the roof by up to 50 percent cooling down the apartments below and reducing the need for air conditioning as well as heating. oil much like that they're equal it's basically like thermal insulation us the stones the gravel the soil and of course the plants with a particular structure work together to form a kind of buffer that insulates the building and all its surroundings. distill it other than. the green scheme is a major investment in the future of balsa luna that last year cost the city authorities at least $60000000.00 euros. the next generation is also making a difference. at this local school the children have be

is the redefinition of demolition to include removal of more than a quarter of a building's front facade. this the absurdity waseloquently summarized in the case study that we saw this morning. where does the sphere of new architecture come from and why is it driving driving this prop? every age deserves a voice in our city's forum. we are no more or less wise than our predecessors. it is naive to think that everything, which is old has merit, simply because it is old. just as it is similarly naive to think everything that is new is inevitably threatening.
