this will be the fifth public hearing that we have attended about this horizontal addition. we have a engaged in very, very protracted negotiations and discussions. nothing more was going to come out of the mediation session. imy client has social anxiety disorder and direct confrontations are very difficult, especially dealing with family health crisis the last four months. his dad is in intensive care right now as we speak. it is not possible for him to sit down and mediate something that we feel quite confident we would not have made any progress with. we have made many changes to this project, as you will hear during our presentations, but the mediation process was not going to derive irresolution. so i think it is time to hear the case finally. we are all here, it is late, let's get it on. thank you. vice president olague: are there any other additional comments on the continuance? any other d.r. requestors want to speak to it? public, disclosed. commissioners? -- public comment is closed. commissioners? commissioner borden: i was just going to ask mr. smith if he would

basically makes a vertical and horizontal line. you want to look for these things when you look at a building. and it's not always obvious . if you look at this building, this one was an example of the racking we talked about. see how these studs are starting to fold on each other? if this whole thing fell over, the studs would be connected to each other. this is an example of the racking. obvious example of racking here; right? if you walk into this building, you are going to say this is heavily damaged. easy. large cracks. again, you want to look around the doors and the foundation. here right at the doors because, remember, the soft structure is the bottom structure. that's going to move the most. then right around the doors are structural members of the house. that's where you are going to find a lot of the damage. this one -- but look at all the doorways again. this building, again, here in the marina. somebody wrote something on there. if you look really close it says, search. somebody wrote that there because maybe they thou

off to the upper left you can see another horizontal rectangles with green. those areas are designated as lots c and d. temporary parking seems to be constructed by the doyle temporary public parking project, for presidio, contractors, and patrons visiting the palace. supervisor cohen: is that going to be demolition of existing buildings? >> no, but doyle drive itself has to be demolished before it can be built. until the parking lot can be made available. supervisor mar: this is the lair lot? >> that big triangle. yes, sir. supervisor mar: temporarily removing 258 public parking spaces, they will be relocated? >> we cannot replace all of them. there is simply not as much space to do that. we are replacing as many as we can. as characterized, this is the project that is characterized as the least bad of a number of not good options. we are looking at structuring it at the yacht club, using facilities at the presidio, basically trying to make do with the space there and minimizing adverse impacts to the recreational uses of neighbors. basically, this slide dem

the proposal is a construction of a three story horizontal addition at the rear of a single-family dwelling within an rh-1 district. it was granted a rear yard variance. the variance request was opposed by the d.r. request youors and appealed, but the decision was upheld. there are three adjacent neighbors, two neighbors nearby, and the neighborhood association. the d.r. requestor is concerned it would impact their privacy and noise, that there would be noise impact from these as well into adjacent rear yards and the amount of encroachment has been granted through the rear yard variance is unprecedented for this district and this neighborhood and violates the residential design guidelines. to address their concerns, the d.r. requestor wanted to be reduced by 5.5 feet. on the overhead, just walking through the project quickly, this is the matching study that you all have received a new commission package. this is the one with the most detail, the subject building. this is uphill, to the west. this is the other building to the west. another d.r. requestor to the east. this is the proposed add

we felt that adding transom windows, where the window is horizontal at the top of the wall -- you cannot see out of it. that is inappropriate way to do with privacy concerns. lastly, we added an additional bedroom to the lower unit to make the lower unit a 3-bedroom unit. "we are proposing for you today are two 3-bedroom units. our architect says we can do a three story with two-units -- with two units using three- bedrooms, but this is not possible. we've been asked to create a light well of 30 feet. we do not think that is appropriate. we have matched the light well of the neighborhood by the amount the planning code requires and the planning department asked us to do. we do not block any windows with our building that are light ports. despite these concessions, we have not been able to reach agreement with the neighbors. one reason is because anne never even made herself available to speak with us and address her concerns. in addition, i spoke with one of the neighbors that lives across the street on lloyd street. he thinks the design is much improved but believes we have not reached

for horizontal or master developments like this, irr's in the 20%-25% range are more common. but this project is somewhat unique because it has a source of interim income in the form of the 3200 apartments already there. in some respects, it is perhaps less risky than a standard master development project because there is a source of revenue and the developer has income while they wait to build out the project. we would suggest an are consultants believe that perhaps the irr for this project may not be necessarily as high to attract investment. the big news here is that the proposed public benefits package, and this is important, this deli represents those benefits above and beyond the planning code required, ceqa required improvements. specifically, what does this exclude? all existing impact fees, including about $22 9 million of estimated affordable housing this project will pay out over time, including school fees, including jobs housing linkage fees, including transit impact about fees. -- impact fees. what is represented here is what we believe it is above those benefit

believe that the vertical addition does not respect the scale of adjacent buildings and that the horizontal addition encroaches into the open space, creating a boxed in feeling, and that the report additional create privacy impacts on neighbors. the residential design team has reviewed the project. we find it to be on balance and consistent with the general plan and design guidelines. we do not find a project to contain or create any exceptional or extraordinary circumstances. we of classified the project as an abbreviated dr for the following reasons. it makes alterations inappropriate manner. it retains the pattern along the laterally spoke -- laterally sloping blocke three. -- sloping block. the rear addition extends 6 feet beyond the neighbor to the west at a two-story white with a setback. the addition extends 14 feet beyond the thdr requesting or's property, but it is stepped interest. we find is appropriate with the use of setbacks on the upper floors. some loss of privacy to existing neighbors is acceptable for an addition in a dense urban environment. it will not have unusual impac

protesting the issuance on october 12, 2010, to hiro kuzumi, et a permit to alter a building, a horizontal addition at the existing fourth floor to include a new master bath and dressing area, laundry, and roofed deck. >> we will begin with you. >> i am appealing the building permit that the people at 2 -- t 1774 grove street have applied for. several reasons i chose to live in this apartment is that it provides a great deal of direct and natural sunlight, it has a lot of natural recirculating air, and, 3, it has -- what they have planned will affect all three of those. in the planning code, it says it is adopted to provide adequate light, air, and privacy to promote the public health. the kuzumis' additon will block the sun light. these are always on the top of my list when looking for a new home, as they provide light, warmth, and energy on a regular basis. with the potential obstruction of sunlight, not only will i be required to keep my lights on for the majority of the day, which will increase the amount of electricity i am using, it will also reduce the amount of natural sunshine my

on its website, however, the text runs horizontally and the headlines are all the same size. the paper abandoned its traditional layout for the internet. when it began planning its tablet edition, the question was what to do with the layout. >> translator: our newspaper's layout has its own meaning and message. the size of headlines. how to arrange each article. and so on. on the internet, however, articles become no more than bits of information. >> reporter: a young entrepreneur provided the newspaper with a solution. mass heero ito is developing a unique digital publishing technology. >> most smartphones and tablets run on 3g networks and wi-fi. the data needs to be very light. so we do a lot of compression. >> reporter: the data is too big and heavy to send to tablets. ito's technology compresses the files and divides them into hundreds of parts. each page, with its distinct style, will be duplicated on the reader's electronic screen. >> the digital age, i think, is an opportunity for old and completely newcomers to reinvent their product and actually try something comple

look for the horrors of issues, the issues that cut across that we can agree on -- i look for the horizontal issues. we are looking for the bigger issues like human capital issues, like issues around broadband, things like that that we can reach broad consensus on and figure out a way to work together. >> one of the issues that will be coming up in the next congress is the issue of privacy. there is more and more noise around the issue of privacy. where does technet stand? >> that is such a broad category to say privacy. what we have to do is start figuring out what kind of regime we are going to put in place in terms of monitoring, in terms of standards. privacy issues cut across trade issues. what does it mean overseas? where is technology moving? we have to make sure that our laws are sophisticated enough, the way technology continues to move. our sector has to be responsible about it because consumers are concerned about it. we take it very seriously. >> isn't so much information already out there, is almost too late? >> it is a question of what do you do with information, what is the ro

if we progress on with our projections of where sea level is going, the horizontal red bar represents the lowest elevation of our current weir structures. if we look at ipcc projections, for example, of where tides are going, it doesn't take too long -- not too many years, maybe about 2013, 2014, we get to a point where at peak tides we have very regular occurrences of bay water actually topping the weir and coming back into our system. the bad news is we actually see this happening now. the photo on the left is that same structure you saw discharging in a previous slide. the weir structures are the slots underneath. the lower right photo you are seeing a high tide that is actually not happening on a stormy day, not when we're having a lot of wind and tidal surge; it's just a very high tide that's actually topping over the weir and coming back into our system. the problem that we face i think is represented very well here in that if this becomes -- right now this is maybe a several times, several days a year event. probably it occurs for several hours and then stops. so we can sort of
