to the roof and the stair penthouse. looking at the orientation i would have guess that the blockage of the sun occurs relatively late in the afternoon. given that the penthouse is almost directly due west of the appellant's property. which means the southern sun is what provides most of the light and sunlight into rear yard and will continue as it tracks across the sky somewhere late afternoon where the penthouse will have any impact on the supplement. -- sunlight. at that time the sunlight is very low on the horizon and as was stated by a number of people, i find the impact here is modest and minimal. i think the appellant should accept the offer of the permit hold er to put glass in the stair and enhances their stairs and will add a little bit of transparentcy and light through that wall. >> i agree. i don't have anything else to add. >> me neither. i think the only thing i was concerned about was the light as well the technicality and any concern about clarification can be questions on the plans, at this point should

it slopes down and falls in the stairs and slopes again towards the front. most importantly you will see if i can get the project or, the appellant's rear yard has two large trees there which are already blocking the sun in this direction that reaches the patio or his ground floor. the other thing i want to mention very quickly is that we've looked at other ways to gain access to the roof t existing stair is not there so there is not an existing code. even if we could it would still require in that situation. the appellant proposed is not permit by the building code. our architect is here. thank you commissioners. >> thank you. mr. sanchez? >> thank you. scott sanchez planning department. just note the building permit application, it was done on march 14th. discretionary view was done. as stated, they with respect to aware concerns until the permit was issued. they have received and performed an innovation. we find that it is in guidelines. they have noted the penthouse has been scoped down in order to provide access to the roof and so it does not overlook t

that group to the toilet room of all things but the city is saying oh, no, because the stairs go up here and off to the right i'll bet you that they were connected at one time and that's what we're going to decide. but they don't talk about the pipe the pipe water supply pipe goes 35 from the churches kitchen to a toilet and a sink. and one of the documents that you have in your pact is a writing from the current reverend of the church and i've been through 3 reverend's of the church and they said we've had no contact with anybody or anything that's been in the units that's alleged to be next door but it's three or four feet higher than than the commercial feet. plus looking at those pictures we see way back to the 19 hundreds this was a toilet room. you can see a little handrail that the church made a modest room here. and that's the total the whole time for the commercial space and now their suggesting and whatever their unwillingness to give this is this as a stand alone unit is because of the false wall it's 2 foot he 7 never meant to have a door there. its way too low of a casi

in terms of accessibility, that little white box -- the rectangle there just to the right of the stairs is an elevator. we're being very aware of accessibility issues as we're dealing with the elevation changes. this is a view along the northern edge. there's a little key so that's the very text of the little red v is where the person would be standing. that stairway leading up to the main venue plaza. there's some retail with some exterior /spaeuls facing north towards the bridge. of course we have the lovely san francisco fire department and their fire boats being located in that center portion of the pier. we're also working with them to really give them visible /prepbls on the site so we're trying to work with them to figure out ways where you'd be able to see the fire truck when it's in their garage. looking east along that edge beyond a reasonable doubt the fire department and the boats, you'll see a vertical wall that we're working with. we're conscious of course for the needs of /sus stain /-blt and storm water management so that's a wall that we're working with in term of the f

on the the right hand side of the stairs, there are places for performances, but some retention areas. we need to break up some of the venue plaza spaces which is at the top of the im/papblg /-fpt just so you get an idea of the scale of this space, this is /kwraoupbl you know square here on the left, which is about 1.4 acres and you can fit two of those just in this location on our project. that doesn't include any of the plaza space at the upper level in the northeast earn level, nor /tkutz it include the perimeter of the entire pier all the way around so those blue rectangles only represent about 2.8 percent of the the space. so this is thinking about the programming and identifying what we can do around the perimeter. i've spoken about most of these so i /wo*epbt spend too much time here, but really the thing to point out is the bay promenade. this is just another view moving up to the event plaza. this is at the plus 35 level standing at the top of that grand staircase. you can see on the right of the arena there another area where we're promoting transparency to be able to see th

if you look closely just next to that little green area there with the stairs up, there is a little red dot. that's actually a window. we're working with the fire department so you can walk by and look in and see their fire engine which would be a lot of fun for people. the fire engines don't use the pier edge. they actually come in and out of the service exit that everyone else does. although the pier edge is available for emergency use at all times. there is a gabian wall that collects stormwater at the end. we're looking for [speaker not understood] quite an environmental sensitive building. oh, ghosh, i guess i'm done. i didn't realize that. >> you have a few more minutes. >> okay. there is views at the top of the building which look off to -- this is on the upper level looking off to treasure island, looking back to the financial district, looking into the arena itself there is a window that's available to the public. and when you're in the arena you can look back out that window and see the bridge itself. this is a huge section of seating that's been removed to accommodate views i

we've worked with the retail to provide more meaningful access up the center stair space which you see goes between the retail functions. and down at the south end we've adjusted public access space there to be more meaningful. we moved the site, if i can just point here. the public plaza that you see in this area here to the north on the seawall site has been shifted into a space which allows for public access. more porous access to the seawall site. we also deconstructed the hotel component into two individual components rather than one. here you can see the site plan as it exists today and i think more importantly -- i'll set this over here -- this is the outline of many of the components from version 1. so, we have removed the can't letter out over the water to provide a minimum 40 foot of access space along the eastern edge of the pier. ~ we removed the rather dramatic feature which is bringing the building right down into the water and instead we've replaced that with more meaningful open access space for pedestrians as they move along the water front. we created a more intimate
