giving a corner off might give a little bit more light to the dr requesters. >> we did take a look at when we were doing studies. our concern was that if we were to champer the roof, we end up with a wall that is 4-feet high. in terms of having space that is usable, it really limits you. it is very difficult to have a sink. that is what prompted us not to adjust it. >> it would seem that while the back of the house is probably not a historical element, even though it is today and it is a beautiful home, it would be nice if you could do something with a pitch on some of those roofs that would let in a little more light, instead of having a square blocks. if you put a small niche on the side of the roof, it would let light in on both sides. that is the other suggestion i have on the back of it. probably not losing too much space by doing that. just some ideas. we will see with the other commissioners have to say. commissioner sugaya: to staff, could you give us a very brief explanation of the use of the rear yard setback as the point at what the addition goes to versus the rear yard ave
