my name is john casey with cnc property management. as the dr applicant in rejection of the jones street project, i represent myself as the owner of the abutting property to the west. i represent the properties managed by c and c, and lastly the residents of the properties share the same position of rejection [speaker not understood]. with that said, we do understand property improvement may arise, but at the negative expense to many neighboring and/or nearby properties and the community as a whole. negative impacts as proposed are noncompliance of the sf building code with need of a rear yard variance that would exceed approximately half of the rear yard distance, currently the rear yard deck. [speaker not understood] with pro poed vertical addition, no respect to building character type for proposed masses, modern box type structure on top of a century old [speaker not understood] building. much smaller a [speaker not understood]. set to the far rear of the property line and has an enormous and open vacant front yard. knowing this th

john casey, [speaker not understood] property management again. the one point i wanted to bring up, the project sponsor's continued reference to the front of the property setback. but as we know, it's offset by the variance request to the rear of the subject property which severely impedes the open air space and privacy to the rear. so, again, i am strongly opposed and request -- based on all the facts, to reject the project. thank you. >> okay. project sponsor, you have a two-minute rebuttal. >>> firstly, i'd like to address a couple of things mr. williams said. he makes mention of in his submission we are creating a fourth floor. we are creating a fifth floor to be clear. it's an existing three-story above basement building. we're creating a fourth floor addition. there are a number of inaccuracies. we've also got [speaker not understood] about not seeing the actual building in question. this image shows the white building is the subject property. the building up the hill from that is mr. low's property. the red dotted line you see depicts the p

john casey, who owns the property at 1222 to 12 26 jackson street, which is perpendicular to and abuts the subject property along the rear property line. the dr requesters are concerned that properties are concerned with the following issues. property values and views of adjacent properties would be adversely affected. this property would set a precedent of four-story editions which would adversely and further change the neighborhood character. the fourth floor addition does not conform to the neighborhood's top ogg is. it would adversely dwarfish the neighborhood's property. it would not lib to or enhance the mixed visual character of the neighborhood. the project would block air and light of the neighbors. ~ the project would impact the neighbor's privacy. the roof deck would create noise. the new garage is incompatible with the city's transit first policies and excavation would adversely impact existing retaining walls. the department's residential design team has reviewed the project twice, once before it went to the 30-day notification and once after the drs were filed. both revie

. >> i don't know why they've called it an autopsy but yesterday ohio republican governor john casey did come out for civil unions. listen. >> if people want to have civil unions and have some way to transfer the resources, i'm for that. i just think that marriage is between a man and a woman and if you want to have a civil union, that's fine with me. >> so it's like a step, half a step, and then going backwards. so your moral position is it's all right to shack up but you can't marry. >> right. there's two things that really irritate me. one is the idea that voters of color in particular are more interested in style than in substance, that we can be won over and historically have been won over, just because of the radio show or because they visited historically black college. so i'm with e.j. on the one hand, i'm much rather have parties not ignores whole segments of the population but not ignoring doesn't mean showing up and doing a political blackface. it means actually engaging with communities about what kinds of economic, social, political efforts would in fact make a differenc
