so that there is an open set back through those two buildings on the parcels. they have modified their massing in response to our concerns and in the previous developments and it really minimized the effect of the bulk on the backyards of the units of our project which are these units here. we strongly feel that the glass proposed in the design at the bedrooms on the taller part of the building is not an adequate response to the bulkness of the project in the northwest corner and interest that they step back the top two floors as shown in the sketch here. in the past few weeks we have had discussions with the developer and we would like to ask for a continuance so that we can continue to have a dialogue and reach a mutually agreeable conclusion. so we can whole heartedly endorse this project which we think otherwise is an accident addition to the neighborhood. >> thank you. >> next speaker? >> good afternoon, commissioners, robin weather here i am a long time resident of haze valley and a member of the neighborhood association. i'm pleased to be here today to s

so, in terms of looking in my pipeline, and seeing, what parcels i have, this affordable housing and land dedication has created an entitled parcel and this will come or could conceivablely come on line sooner, provided that we have the funds to do so. i think that in terms of the question that the context and how, the affordable housing would relate to this surrounding buildings. i think that we have a wonderful tract record of utilizing very talented architects who take that into consideration, including the architect of record on the 801 brannan site and really hope, and not hope, but we really do expect that anything that is designed on the affordable housing parcel will be in context with this, with what is being designed, for the not only for these other two parcels but for the balance of the neighborhood. and i think that the track record of our affordable housing developers have indicated that they could do that and do that successfully. in terms of the numbers of units on site. we will clearly you know, try to achieve the greatest number of units because that makes the great

i learned this bit by bit, parcel by parcel, you know, the discovery that where the... you know, this place that looked like a garage was in fact a secret prison and a secret torture chamber. that this very handsome, beautiful building in the center of buenos aires, close to the major football statium in the middle of what is buenos aires' equivalent of the bois de boulogne, the beautiful palermo gardens, is this horrific place where they practice mind control, where they try to... and where they systematically murdered people by taking them away after they had decided that they were going to kill them. there was no trial or anything like that. and they were taken off in planes or in helicopters, and they were doped, stripped, and thrown into the sea. >> hinojosa: so explain... take us for a second, robert, into argentina, you know, 1975, 1976, for example. what... everything looked normal, right? but... >> well, no, it wasn't normal. we could tell that things were building up. we actually published the numbers of deaths every so often on the front page. it was aware there was a kind

is being -- that basically based on the parcel of land that the new housing is being built on. and that guides how much square footage the new -- the dedicated land has to provide for the site. so, they're under a certain threshold. i think it's 35,000 square feet. -- of actual physical land. and, therefore, have to provide, i think, up to 35% of that within the new dedicated land. so, the new dedicated land meets the requirement, basically, of the code. >> okay. i think my concern -- i think probably when i trying to think through planning department staff was trying to think through this is there is not -- first of all, i'm supportive of the off-site option. i think it allowed moh to explore doing deep affordability on a separate site. but i want to make sure we're not creating a situation where there is sort of a giant incentive to choose the off-site, the land dedication option because it's so much more financially beneficial for the developer. so, essentially, if it only costs the developer $2 million to do the off-site option but it would have cost something like $5 milli

it does not say that you cannot use assessor's parcel number, just as the 300' distance has no quantitification on it. it's up to dpw to decide how to administer its parents and it does so evenly and it did so evenly and consistent with its own policy, when it took the radius maps that were given by expresso subito and prepared by radius services in conformance with the guidelines >> thank you. i want to give you an opportunity to articulate your own position. >> i did not refer to the guidelines. i referred it to the public works code section 184.88. where it uses "block face," if you know the address ever the cart. for it's a push cart and you don't put an address, then you go to assessor's block, in which it's a bigger area, because you haven't listed an address. it's very clear, one uses block face. the other uses assessor's block. >> so no address, assessor, address specified, block face. >> correct. it's not defined necessarily in the mff code, but it's defined elsewhere in the public works code as basically being surrounded by four streets. >> okay. >> in this instance, they just got it

i would rather buy out the parcel and move on. there were some parcels that mother nature owns. she might only visit once every few years but she owns the parcel. when she comes to visit, she visits. we want to run a program that will provide the funds that will buyout those homeowners who don't want to rebuild and they want to move to higher ground and that would be smart. we must harden our infrastructure, we must harden the new york city subway system. new york is a marvel because how high it builds. manhattan is a march val because how deep it builds. parts of manhattan are a 15 stories deep with infrastructure, subways, water tunnels, etc. you can't allow those a 15 floors below to flood. it would dehabilitate the city for a long time. we need to close tunnels, roll down doors, so the city does not flood. the technology is there, it is expensive but necessary. we must harden our airports. we can't close the airports every time there is a storm. we need to put in pumps, high gates, etc. we saw the chaos that the fuel system caused. that was the reduction of supply for a day
