the last diagram basically is saying there are existing penthouses' appear up to 84 feet. we want a stair connected to one of those. it would have minimal visual impact. one thing i think has been created by the denial of the letter of determination. it is a hardship by denying that our clients the structures others have had the opportunity to enjoy. the product is not controversial. i think there are proponents here that will speak tonight. we would like to have a consideration. i think brett would say a few things. >> my name is brett poffenbarger. our goal is to make a green space. this is the backyard for our house, for our child to play in. i think it has a positive visual impact for the neighborhood. even buildings that can see it will see a park-like structure with greenery. we want to make it safe and accessible from our unit so that our child will be able to go up there and be safe from falling off the walls using windscreens. that is all i have to say. thanks. >> thank you. mr. sider? >> thank you, commissioners. i am actually a little heartened by what the appel

you cannot get a stair penthouse, technically, to conform with this height. i have to do this to commissioner peterson. 25 years ago, there was a very famous name in san francisco. the zoning administrator denied his permit to build the market greenhouse on top -- to build an orchid greenhouse on top of his high-rise in pacific heights because it was non-conforming and above the height limit. the problem i have here perhaps is a little bit too much experience with this code section. that is that it has always been interpreted that way. the fact is that the 65 feet establishes the point at which exceptions take place. therefore i do not see any basis that i can even attack to give them what they want. commissioner peterson: i do not have the experience of commissioner fung, but i also am very sympathetic. i needed to look at the language to see if there is any wiggle room. you have a hope or expectation for having something like that on your building. i understand what it is disappointing to see these restrictions. but i also could not find any way around it.

the renovation of this penthouse apartment took 2 1/2 years. of the priorities of the homeowner was that they wanted you to be able to come in the front door and be in the circular rotunda that feels very much like a garden. as we move into the living room, you realize the homeowners love all things french. they have imported this elegant fireplace mantle from paris. they built classic bookcases on either side and a fabulous herring bone floor. you'd never know you're in a modern high-rise building. this room is really special because it's in the building's southeast corner, and it offers unobstructed panoramic views of the lake, navy pier and downtown sky skyline. the european theme continues in the dining room with this incredible antique crystal chandelier and several more pieces of period furniture. in many of these apartments, the kitchen is a small interior room with no windows. in this case, we have a huge space with a separate breakfast area that has panoramic views of the lake and then a kitchen that is a caterer's dream. there are fou

stairs to the roof and elevators, and penthouses. mechanical rooms. they are very small percentages of the route space. you are allowed up to 20%. we are below 20% of the roof space. the only thing that goes up to 16 feet is the elevator penthouses. >>> commissioner antonini: let's try to keep the design so the more we can ask these elements, the better. if you are high enough looking down you will see them but someone at the same height or from a distance away on ground level, the more we can ask these, the better. whatever you are allowed to do with parapets is welcome. comments were made upon the unit sizes and they talked about 700 square feet as being an average. i assume there is a distribution here. i do not know that there are a three-bedroom units. it would be nice if we did have distribution to allow for units that would accommodate people with children that needed more bedrooms and if that can be worked out as part of the plan. i think if it is done in the right way, it can be done without new approval but to redistribute york unit makes mo
