my name is joseph butler and i represent the lloyd street neighbors. since the first hearing on october 14, we undertook to meet with the sponsors and their architect to study the issues that were of concern to your commission, specifically whether a three story building that would fit in this context could also accommodate two family- sized three-bedroom units without a variance. on this 25 by 100 foot standard size lot, nearly flat, although in san francisco is definitely considered a flat lot, it seemed to the commission and that a it seemed to the commission that a variants was difficult to justify it. this is the 12 foot pop out at the back. without a variance, it allows a 5 foot setback. when you combine that with an equal sized light well to 45 boyd's street by marion them together -- like welt to 45 lloyd street by -- light well to 45 lloyd street by marrying them together. mr. denuncio per person on the other side of the building. we were told that they would not produce any three-story study, nor any studies that did not require a variance. a
