low's penthouse standing at 50 feet tall. the yellow line, the yellow box shows our proposed edition which would also be 50 feet tall. the red horizontal line above the yellow box shows our zoned maximum height limit of 65 feet and demonstrates that we are materially inside that zoned limit. mr. low's dr submission also included this elevation, which demonstrates our proposed addition, superimposed on the building to demonstrate its relative size versus the neighboring buildings. what's missing from this is that he is conveniently failed to show his own fourth floor penthouse in this submission. this is a photograph of mr. low's penthouse. clearly it does exist. this photo is of the rear of the two buildings. the red dotted lines on the right are mr. low's existing fourth floor penthouse that comes right to the boundary both on the rear wall and the side wall. the dotted yellow line shows our proposed addition with a setback. and this also demonstrates the stiffing that comes down with the gradient of the street. there have b

they constantly refer to the lowest penthouse, the lowest penthouse is 200 square feet. it's not even close to being comparable. we need setbacks on the rear that match the front for 15 feet. we need additional setbacks on the side to the five feet to make it minimal lie visible and we need a compression of the heighttion making ceilings of 11 feet tall on the fifth floor and over 10 feet tall on the fourth floor. that's not sensitive, that's not respectful. the garage is also out of character with the neighborhood. there are three garageses out of the eight buildings on this block face. we'd you to reject the variance and reduce the size of this project. >> thank you. the second dr requestor. >>> good evening, commission, president fong. thank you for your time today, this evening as well as for those that i've met and also i've communicated with prior to today. my name is john casey with cnc property management. as the dr applicant in rejection of the jones street project, i represent myself as the owner of the abutting property to the west. i represent the properties

further down the architect's response, he talks about our penthouse. well, when my parents bought the property over 65 years ago, the small room referred to as a penthouse was part of the building. the exterior rear wall [speaker not understood] continues the same pattern of siding up. and three of the walls are the same siding as the building. and i feel that that is very well integrated. we never added it on because it was there. this little 12 by 12 foot laundry room was also for the tenants to dry their clothes. what they had to do was walk up three flights of stairs because at that time there were no laundry -- laundromatses down the street or all over nowadays. so, they climbed up three flights of stairs to hang their laundry and they needed a place to put their laundry baskets and other paraphernalia. ~ then they were so tired they probably want to have a place to rest, and this was for them. and i remember when people didn't have washers and they would use scrub boards and we would be scrubbing away and they would carry their laundry up the sta

low has from his penthouse with our proposal in its current form. this diagram shows the point at which we've taken these lines from and extrapolated out. and as you can see from within mr. low's penthouse we have been reasonably conservative from the point at which we have taken these view lines. as you move west towards his -- towards the rear of his building, this cone expands and expands his field of view. in addition to this, both of our north and south abutting neighbors have eight foot rear yards and this includes mr. low's building. our proposed addition has between 15 and 22-foot rear yard. with two minutes remaining, i was wondering, toby, if you have anything. thank you. >>> thank you, commissioners. i guess i would address some of the concerns that have been raised so far. >> do you wish to state your name? >>> sorry, toby morris of toby morris architects. parking in this neighborhood is an issue. we are proposing a curb cut that is adjacent to another curb cut so it will remove one half of a car space to provide parking for three. this

the lowe's penthouse is not an occupied space. you heard that from his sister eva chan low. it is a 200 square foot laundry room and you can't compare that to a 1300 square foot fifth floor addition. it's a historic anomaly that was put on the building when it was built in 1910. yes, there are other buildings that also have stair and elevator penthouses that can't -- they're not comparable. the current floor to ceiling height on this fifth floor is more than 11 feet high. sensitive? on the first floor it's more than 10 feet high. that's not a sensitive rendition of an addition. they're not even providing the code required setbacks. you hear this talk about these setbacks are adequate. they're asking for a variance so that the setbacks they're providing aren't even meeting the code. the code minimum. what we're asking for is eliminate the variance, eliminate the garage, and shrink this penthouse. if you're going to allow the penthouse, it has to be much smaller to come close to fitting in the neighborhood. thank you very much. >> second dr requestor. you have two minutes. >>>
