. >> i'm rick goldman and i'm a homeowner that lives at 230 state street, a few buildings up from the project. i oppose the c.u. application and support the planning department's recommendation to incorporate a second unit. as a resident of this neighborhood, i've fought very hard with other neighbors to protect the rear yards of through lots like at 214 state street. street-facing rear yards is one of the special things in the neighborhood. initial protections for rear yards were put in place by supervisor weiner. these controls became permanent thanks to the help of supervisor sheehy. the current cua does keep the rear yard, but it does open up the possibility to add an additional unit. by doing the development in two stages, sponsor would divert the controls to protect roads on through lots. the developer said that he has no plans to build on museum way, given the misrepresentation of the project that's already been made, saying that the house had a garage, laundry room, i don't think we can rely on the word of the project sponsor not to be considering such an option. all of this c
