shrink the building any shorter, and given the concerns about these efforts, we would be facing george king. we have been squeezed on all three sides, and cannot go much further. they have done their best efforts given the circumstances with the inability to come with any compromise. >> the public hearing is closed. >> i think the project sponsors have responded to a lot of what we do. i agree with the requested that the majority of the houses are more victorian style, but this is much more can dextral that was, and it does blend in nicely with his house, which is the craftsman style. it looks like this belongs on the street. you have been that -- been doing a nice job of doing this. the height has been reduced by 14 inches overall. 12 inches on the first floor, moving forward with 2.6, 3.6 on the third. well we have here is the san francisco dilemma. it is tough to watch -- work with 25 feet. and the residences within this footprint. 1930 and 1750 looks fairly reasonable. with the project sponsor is saying, is that by changing the design of the roof, rather than having a flat roof after yo

requesters main concern, george king. he lifted that d.r. with the agreement that the building would not be lowered any further. if the building goes down any lower, it would be potentially damaging the tree says the arborist. i always wanted to say that the building not only steps back in the back, but it also steps on the side and that was always part of the original design. so from the fourth property, it is stepping back a majority of the building, stepping back three feet and the fourth floor is stepping back five feet from the property line. we are very restricted on this site because of planning assignments that set it back 15 feet from the front and a requirement to set it back on the south side three feet to reflect the setback on the george howsers side. we are restricted. regarding the architectural context, we have added the roof. that results in a building that is much more context really here. i don't agree this is a flimsy gesture. it helps in the streetscape and it does make the building fit in and it does disguise the fourth

from president obama this nation was founded in compromise i don't frankly recall george washington compromising with king george the third in fact for a war that's that's about as far from compromise as you can get i don't recall james madison compromising with the brits and the canadians when they came to washington d.c. to this town to burn the white house and james madison the only president of the united states first of all the father of the constitution but also the only person the united states to leave the white house to lead troops into battle. i mean think about that for a minute was that a compromise in the war of eight hundred well i don't think so i don't recall you know abraham lincoln compromising with jefferson davis or robert e. lee it took a few years but he kicked their plots right across the country was in a compromise i don't recall f.d.r. compromising with adolph hitler or dwight eisenhower for that matter belgium would became president he was he was f.d.r.'s prime general in world war two we needed churchill churchill that was the guy who compromised who was neville chamberlain reme

american revolution here in the late seventeen hundreds it when it was over they wanted to make george washington king and he said no that's not why we did this we did it to get rid of a king we're going to get have to have free elections and elect a president so we'll see how democracy if democracy. reigns and rules the day in libya or we may get something else are you concerned that we could see a similar outcome to what we've seen in iraq for example. well you know really we could it's funny because i was in iraq and you know we i was there for fourteen months and the americas invasion of iraq in two thousand and three was a preemptive preemptive attack which was a the bush doctrine if i was thinking about that earlier today before you know you had me on i was thinking about iraq and libya it's interesting how things would have turned out if the people of iraq if there if they had had their own up arising against saddam hussein and then we had supported that certainly america and i'm not bashing america here ok but certainly america wouldn't be in the same spot that it's in iraq now so it is it is
