mr. winslow acknowledged. the roof deck, it is a late addition to the design because it addresses the need and desire to provide the being saysory dwelling unit. this deck itself is set back 5 feet or more from the side property lines and a little more than 16 feet from the front property line as allowed by city ordinance. the proposed slender metal guardrail post with cable railing have no impact when viewed from uphill properties. the current proposed improvements do not enclosed any -- consist of any enclosed usable roof area and consist solely of a 27 foot elevator shaft that rises 9 feet above the existing roof parapet. while planning staff and code do not consider preparations, views across the homes are preserved by this design. we've prepared a number of 3d images. we super imposed the image of our three dimensional model p precisely to fit that photograph, and then, when we realized that photograph was taken from the ground level, standing at the corner of the appellant's lot and the camera over the f

mr. winslow. on page 3 the residential design team review said the project sponsor and with removal of one of the decks with the garage roof deck or new deck adjacent to the building home wall with the variance would have no exceptional circumstance. and if you look at this proposed site plan, there are still two decks. >> that is correct. that was at the iterative design process. there was a larger deck that would have required a variance. because it did not meet the designs of that 136 provision. it went further out into the rear yard. >> we now have a landing that doesn't need the variance. >> we have no balcony. >> correct. >> commissioner moore. >> there is one other comment and i know that is not in front of us, but the renovation of the particular building raises a question for me and that is the addition of the e.d.u. since the addition of the structure, the bedroom, requires my major excavation and enforcement of the foundation of the building, if you would refer to drawing a2-08 -- no, i

mr. winslow could chime in on that particular comment. >> i am not as familiar with the drawings as i should be -- i inherited this project very recently. the project has been raised 17 inches without the benefit of permit. once that was discovered through the 311 notification process, it was addressed with the horizontal addition. so the drawings should be accurate to my knowledge. the photographs most certainly are because they represent an existing condition. >> there is another question about increased demand for parking and an n.c.d. do i not consider that to be an issue and nor is that really addressed with what the planning commission considers. and it's an issue with transit and relate more to neighborhood retail than impacting what residential needs to do here. i am in support of the project. my own suggestion is not to take d.r., but i'm curious what other commissioners have to say. >> president hillis: thank you. commissioner koppel? >> i think the architect did a good job sensitively designing this to match the rear of the property to the neighbor with the side setbacks and the a
