you would walk into the property, they would use those stairs. what had been a condition of approval was that this opening remained and that there was an easement on 1271 that they would maintain access and maintain use at the front of the stairs. >> i will stop you right there. the previous owners estimated that area and demolished that staircase in that historic porch and what not. then what happens. >> if they were to pursue the previously approved project, then those would have been rebuilt and there would have been access there. >> the demolition of those was not under consideration. they were meant to stay put. >> there was access through an easement. i don't know if it was specified that any existing stairs must retain. >> will we rebuild them? >> access would be provided and it did not specify how that would be divided and whether or not desisting stairs would be contained. >> you have answered my question. thank you. >> i think that this board asks very difficult questions. >> mr. sanchez, we are not done yet. the project as presented in

. >> the stairs that are accessed to the property. >> you walked up these stairs and then there would be an opening. you walk up to these properties and then further up the stairs, during the excavation, these astaires were demolished. there had been in easement at this point. when the property was under the ownership, it was expressed by the property owners. now the project has been at the front of the rear. access of this property is provided on this property. you might have to provide for access from another property. >> if you can put up exhibit b which to show is the proposed -- then you can show how one access of the rear unit. >> >> there is more conditions than just that one. >> there were numerous other conditions that restricted the development. this was basically just the commission the. they are usually presented a project which is different from what they want. in their decisions, they provide guidance. the commission has looked at this again and under the building permits, they approved a new project which really wipes away any previous conditions that they opposed on th

instead of combining stairs and minimizing stairs because we are being confronted with the family where we're told that there would be elderly and handicapped people who have -- who have difficulties moving up and downstairs, i would assume that concentrating, common stairs, with perhaps an elevator on four stories would be a building which would be much more suitable to the intent of how the family represents its case. again i'm all interested in multi-family. i'm all interested in this family to really find the home of their dreams. i do believe that the architectures in front of us is not meeting the challenge or is anything i can approve as it is in front of me. we can perhaps -- yeah. >> continue the project. i don't think i have a time limit on my speaking. i think we can continue the project. we have worked with this architect before. asked him to really create a unit or a -- or a combination of units which really expresses the needs of the family and then on top of that is really more in keeping with the overall neighborhood and not to exceed three stories. i would also like to

we will stop and tell them. >> how is the width of the stairs, the fire escape? >> okay. we've got a question. how do we determine the width with of the fire escape stairs >> i think it's 18 inches >> ladders shall not be let's than 18 inches >> if someone was applying for a permit. we would like at the occupant load and how many people are going to have to use this, and the building code has a table for calculating. i think we would look at home people would using it. >> every fire escape balcony 18 inches. >> i wanted to talk to the about the stand pipe. >> tell us what we got here. >> this is a dry stamp pipe. typically, the fire engine would stop here and hook up here. so on any floor, whichever floor, we can have water. like i say, this is even better than going to the building. our guy does a good job and makes sure the balcony is stable. it's so much nicer to be outside. you yell at the guy. we need more water and pressure. in my eyes, it's a better system. this one here is dry. some of them are wet. >> what's the difference between wet and dry? >> wet would be con

we would provide a set of stairs, one elevator for access. we have worked with the union square business improvement district and this is acceptable and would minimize the impact on the park. what you would see is a bird's- eye view of the entrance. also a close-up from the top which would have over the escalator. this is modeled similar to paris metro. to be able to provide entrance, we would go to the parking side. in addition, we would have an additional impact on some additional spots. the duration would be six-nine months. >> i have a question for you before we get to public testimony. the parking places that are taking out, let me congratulate you on the redesign. this has less impact than the original. i congratulate you. the 90 spaces that are taken out will affect the revenue stream of the department. is this calculated in and are we getting compensated for the loss of those spaces? >> the answer is yes. the value of that property, both the temporary and permanent, will be appraised buying independent appraiser. >> do we get an annua
