in support of project sponsor okay dr requester you have a 2 minute rebuttal. >> thank you, joe butler i'm concern if the gentleman had a problem with the shadow study he would have produced his own he particularly eyed summary shadows when they're most likely to use their deck and yard and the sun is high enough in the sky the context will not have an effect if i could have the gene in 2011 co-sponsored to the dbi records a foundation was put underneath the north side of the importance i'm sorry the south side of the project sponsors property they've accurately a foundation there were no plans created but the written description of work any concrete foundation to cappa foundation two feet thinning thick as a tow at the bottom to create the four story this is plenty plenty strong to carry is 2 story wood frame structure when we designed and compromise envelope we made the stair down two feet off the property line go past the foundation i want to show one more thing i'm going to leaving to our hands the 311 drawings shows the back corner the preapplication drawings show that to my clien

and if further complaints, project sponsor agrees to comply. further if there is a noise complaint they have to see if a complaint is observed the city couldn't require a project sponsor to do something. so, again if the commission wanted to include a condition like this, i would again recommend some further refinement of that condition. i also note that there is a noise control condition in the motion already. condition no. 9 that says the premises shall be adequately soundproof or insulated for noise so that incidental noise is not audible in other buildings and sound proofing is something that staff is go -- going to to have ascertain with the project sponsor and if you want to be more specific on the noise issues like this particular bullet we can craft something like it, but i again would recommend some edits within that condition so it sets forth the process as more use by the city than a government entity. certainly in all of these conditions the project sponsor can agree to with all the parties and the government would not act in a part

and the fire department same thing this is just the care plan that agreed between the sponsor and the city as you can see in climax the sponsor supervisor wiener said the project received a lot of letters and support from the businesses individuals and that is the conclusion we have no objections as well one thing we actually, the city attorney reviewed it regarding the resolution as we speak and will be communicating with your office. >> great i know there were i believe that mr. malmet would be proposing non-substantive amendments to the resolution you don't know. >> john gibner, deputy city attorney i don't have them i can talk to malmet. >> they're not substantive it's clean up language so if we don't have it today, we can take it up with the full board. >> he said he was working he didn't have time to talk to me. >> and again, if we need to make them at the full board tomorrow that's fine. >> okay. thank you. >> thank you very much to the department we have benefiting from the illustrated of the arts. >> thank you, everyone thank you you know what makes a city great, of course, l

. >> so a lot of those questions it will be great to ask the project sponsor if you look at the exist the lots xhrths to do a new project and preserve the existing project we'll need to preserve the rear yard there will be not that much room for the backyard. >> can you explain that why preserve the rear yard and open space. >> there's more flexibility when you consider a new project together and so the new project we're looking overall at the open space that is provided and configure the two buildings to use the roof as american people open space jointly to help a make-up some of the loss of the open space that's lost under a configuration general they're an the corner of the 6th street and the next lot is dedicated to parking generally we'll keep the rear yard with the existing housing and generally look at the parking area that is potentially a substandard lot love problems trying to fit a new building open the substandard lot was not considered by the commission. >> i know that the project sponsor has to apply for a variants and want a variance on the radish simulating you're desc

i'm sorry, i have to give the sponsor a chance to speak. i would like -- >> my name is neilie pointer i'm the project sponsor and i would like to thank everyone for your time today. just to introduce myself, my husband and i have lived in san francisco for over 16 years and we moved into noe valley in 2008 to start a family. we have children that are currently enrolled in the public school in our neighborhood. >> i'm sorry, you are time has expired. you will have two minutes of rebuttal at the end. >> we'll take public comment in support of the public comment. >> may i make a note for the public record? >> very quickly. >> there were go sets of couples who each had a husband and wife speak. >> that is public comment. >> that doesn't matter. >> we'll take public comment now from those in support of the project sponsor. >> good evening president wu, commissioners, thank you for you the integrity of our city and the building requirements are very important to me. to allow for family and businesses to work and prosper here to leave discretionar

it's not the same project sponsor. the architect that is providing the services to the two developers. >> i just want to make sure because it could be confusing. >> what projects were considered without the variance project sponsor? >> there was some difficulty with this side. where the project sponsor started was that 24 ord court hassledly tennants that have been there for over 30 years and they have a great relationship with those tennants and they did not want to touch that building and have a negative impact on the tennants. that leaves you with 22 ord and the two lots. it was explored looking at adding the second unit to the building at 22 ord court, but again considering the narrowness of that street and the mass that would have been necessary to create another dwelling unit on that building did not seem to make sense for the neighborhood and again that also wouldn't get you the 2 units on both lots which is what the rh 2 zoning would allow. this is the next thing considering the neighborhood. >> i have a questi

is could this project sponsor have filed earlier? >> the short answer so that is yes, they can file any time they want. >> they can do it in tandem with their conditional use. ? >> it's my understanding is the conditions are routed after the building permit has been issued, which is after the planning commission-i believe it typically does happen at the end. >> and i don't know what -- you know, again, maybe we should make a look at what the law is. it seems to me that we should not be having subdivision applications for these projects happening a year or whatever it is after the planning commission approval. it invites these fragmented types of appeals and appeal happening when you have a demolition or maybe construction done so that's not a conversation for today. >> we'd be happy to discuss that. i have a may 14, 2014 site survey that shows the building to be demolished. >> thank you. >> thank you supervisor mar. >> thank you colleagues. i don't want to drag out this decision and i want to thank planning staff for their presentati

project sponsor -- developer can be can't be heard. i'm concerned that the developer is using the houses to the east of the project as justification for building into the mid-block open space. mr. silverman's letter of december 3rd states that the buildings to the east go into the yards and significant heights. this is not true. every day from my deck i look at the homes in question and they are the four victorians, 417-423. these victor [kwra-eupbz/] built in the 1890s are small and 1100 to 2200 square feet and are one-story buildings over garages. i have gotten this information from the san francisco planning department website and i made this graph. the overhead, please. with information from that map, to compare the mass of buildings on the block. you can see the four victorians here. these four victorians are setback from the street further than other houses on the block and appear to have once had front yards and this fact alone may account for the fact that the houses are procrude trueeding into this legislative said bac. other

house on the downside the - on the design doors down from the sponsor i have a problem with my eye and light i highly be object to the property plan the sponsors plan to build his basement is on the downhill it's my affordable units they're not going to have set backs if this is approved i'm afraid it is going to set a precedent on a direct impact on my property then 2728 steiner if he wanted to sell his house the new owner can initiate a project that will have a devastation on any life therefore i respectfully request you do not approve that project as simpleminded. >> my son is an architect based on what we told me and according the san francisco guidelines one has to respect the typography of the site and the surrounding areas it's apparent if the project sponsors precede with the construction that's being as being proposed their violating the san francisco design guidelines best way for sponsor to proceed with the addition to build the addition on the other side of the property on the uphill i've lived with may late husband for 28 years this is a truly neighborly friendly place we

the site and the surrounding areas it's apparent if the project sponsors precede with the construction that's being as being proposed their violating the san francisco design guidelines best way for sponsor to proceed with the addition to build the addition on the other side of the property on the uphill i've lived with may late husband for 28 years this is a truly neighborly friendly place we have quarterly parties and discussing issues all the neighbors know each other and respect one another the last thing we want to see is tension with the neighbors as much is a as is neighbor i don't wish to get involved with those kinds of issues but the san francisco residential guidelines should prevail. >> thank you. is there any additional public comment. >> hello, i'm isabel i'm a high school junior and the daughter of the folks all i want to say those neighbors they moved in we were welcoming to them and want them to enjoy their house and the expansion all we are asking to move it over to minimize the impact it has on the neighbors that's it the only reason so we can keep as karina said bef

question it didn't look like it is completely out of the realm of possibility but chablg for the project sponsor to build on the existing vacate area of the lot i think based on some of the information we have right now i'm not the move is for a turns to explore other alternatives i'd like to see more density and housing i love the 3 bedroom units and i think we have to do this in balance with the loss of rent control housing that's clearly became a proprietor with the players particularly in the housing market i'd like to find a solution to address those potentially but i will also reserve some of any questions for the project sponsor thank you for your response. >> supervisor mar. >> yeah. i want to answer a few of supervisor kim's questions in january of last year when i office convened gabriel the architect and tom the owner and a number of the residents i know that that was a concern expressed how to preserve the two units of housing that is when amy lee working with the project sponsor in our office has been discussing that there was an effort to try to figure out a win-win for the project

>> thank you project sponsor. >> is the screen open please. hello, i'm chris hate land with the architects in san francisco we're here to continue our discussion about 989 reaping street i'll quickly go through this we're at the corner of ralph and fulsome it is a one story bay lighting steer with a large parking lot is split zoning between the eastern neighborhood and western selma and the building fingertip is very simple l-shaped building focused towards fulsome street underground floor and residential and the garage entry ramp the last meeting was verbose we'll talk about the architecture this is an elevation prospective at the corner of ralph and fulsome street we begin to look at the architecture we've thought about ralph street and fulsome we think about them having a different altitude fulsome is a larger scale and larger building components trying to pick views from the portion of embarcadero after retail uses other than the ground floor the brick material is supported with a care medic tile element it sits next to the windows and the

me as my colleague with the specialist and the senior environmental planner members of the project sponsor team are present this is on the draft eir with the defendant project this is the same project brought to you in august of this year as an informational item the project is located on the soviet part of potrero hill between u.s. 101 and the site is bounded by 26th and 23rd street and 25th street within the defendant part of the city the site is currently developed with 6 hundred and 20 housing units proposed project clusz includes the demolition of the one hundred plus housing unit and includes up to seven hundred residential housing to replace market you housing some of the historic evaluations were evaluated the potrero hill terrace development and the potrero hill landscaping in the context of other public housing projects that were in designed in the presequa block style the annex have not eligible for listing on the historical landmarked but it is not win the district the dir includes the limitation of the proposed project will not result in the accommodate active environmental re

at this point why not hear from members of the public who wish to support the project sponsor. >> good morning supervisor i'm george i'm the retired real estate business broker along richmond resident i have a question i'd like to address a question that supervisor jane kim brought up this builder she built a of unit building and 3 of them are actually affordable as you can get square footage is 11 hundred secret so to swedes 3 bedrooms in 11 square feet is not easy that's pretty much any private builder can do on affordable basis now if you take an additional unit for the affordable and put on the affordable side 3 unit are affordable then the other 3 units are slightly larger make them as affordable then the private owner has two unit to recapture their investment this is discouraging where people are trying to develop additional new housing for the city so you have to realize the city should give extra incentives for a smaller builder like marching to build this kind of unit rather than discourage it but if you supervisor jane kim if you are considering we put up we required the own

thought so the commission is impressing support for the project overall but encourage the project sponsor to explore interpretive positions like the clubbing clubhouse. >> no on a incorporating a section of the building into the clubhouse so we get a concrete bunker it has no personality and now it's a whole different environment so you know this is where people grew up in so let's take some. any public comment on this item? we have no speaker cards seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioners any at comments before we close this item seeing none, thank you we'll draft a letter and get it out thank you very much >> commissioners item 7 case at - >> i'm going to have to request a recuseal. >> for item 7592515 the new mission theater a certificate of appropriateness i believe commissioner hyland needs to be recused. >> to make a motion to recuse commissioner hyland. >> on that motion to recuse commissioner hyland commissioner hyland commissioner johnck commissioner johns commissioner matsuda commissioner wolfram and president hasz that passes unanimously 6 to zero and now proceed. >

the project sponsor also did not allow the expansion of a unit. it wouldn't be a good idea to have that type of mass. the project sponsor has been very open to this project throughout the process. he's met with several of the concerned neighbors a number of times and offering design alternatives. it does appear that in the dr requester are not able to accept new development of the project. the project sponsor has agreed to all modification requested by the planning department including the reason for the 5-foot step back on the east side for it's entire depth and this was asked specifically to provide additional light and air to the dr requester who has that facing room on the part of the lot. most importantly the project is consistent with the neighborhood and the design guidelines. let's start with 22 ord court, the new floor is original setback from the property and not be prominent from the street. this maintains the 3 story building on the street. if i can get the projector. this is 22 ord, it's an existing 3 story home. here is a rendering o
