commissioner koppel. >> yeah. hi. normally when we hear the words modest addition, it's something we actually look at even more closely. in this case, i do think this is a modest addition. looking at the drawing a-0.1, it looks as if this addition would only bring this house to the same level that the other surrounding houses are. it's not even doubling the square footage. the rdt approved this design and the setbacks are already enough as is. curious to see what the other commissioners say. >> commissioner moore. >> i think this is a reasonable addition. i think it's compact. i think it holds with general line of surrounding buildings and the 0 thing i would ask of the architect is would you mind coming up, please? the only thing i'm having a hard time with is on the second floor. your deck and the stairs because for fire, you don't need the deck and the stair. i'm looking for a neighborly gesture here. there are all kinds of ways of getting into this garden, which you well maintain for required setbacks. is this sid

commissioner koppel? >> the one part that makes me most uncomfortable is reading the responses from the project sponsor to the request and seeing it in certain cases that they're legally saying that they cannot fulfill some of these requirements based on equal opportunity language and civil rights acts, and i mean how -- i don't see on a project this size that we can make him do this. and that -- i'd be amenable to approving and even maybe a check back later onto see where we're at, but i -- i do think that he -- he will be operating in good faith and doesn't want to sabotage his business before he even gets started. >> clerk: commissioner, there's a motion that's been seconded to not take dr as proposed with the emphasis as stated by the commission. shall i call that question? >> jonas, real quick, if you want to add that to a motion, a one year look back or six month look back just for informational purposes. >> clerk: i'd be more comfortable with six months. >> is that approvable? >> president hillis:
