the entry stairs for the lower unit would be constructed on the adjacent public property. staff has confirmed that dpw generally supports the stairs and would require a minor improvement permit for construction. sponsors also discussed stairs that would connect mars to corbett avenue. although the stairs are not part of the project, supports the idea because it would increase pedestrian safety in an area that currently has no sidewalks. it is consistent with similar public's airwaves in the neighborhood. the department has received 10 letters of support and one phone call in opposition. most of the correspondence came from neighbors within the immediate neighborhood. the department support the project because it is well- articulated to impact adjacent properties on a level that is reasonable to expect. it is good urban design and does not constitute privatization of public property. this project would not be referred to the commission as it does not contain or create any exceptional circumstances. president olague: at this time, we will hear from the dr requestoer. >> i li

in the buildings they have spiral slides so in an emergency you didn't run down the stairs and told the guy to hop in the slide and out the building and that was their emergency e aggress. >> and they're designed if there an explosion it doesn't blow the walls out. and one of my favorite is the old pump station and now used as the headquarters of the fire department and one thing that makes this -- dare i say odd building and has live tidal sea water from the cove. >> the bu bay used to be right about there. >> the bay was about a couple hundred yards away -- maybe 800-yards away and so there is now an under ground i have duct that -- via duct that brings this here and can take water from the bay and into the high pressure system for most earthquake or fire protection. >> if they ran out of regular domestic water. >> or if the pipes broke and that happened in 1906 and might happen. a couple of other things that make this building interesting and turning it into the firefighter headquarters and they have complicated occupancies and i look at these things and hard to have fue

the first item on the bottom is showing you could have eight stair elevator windscreen to the heights shown. there is an interpretation we do not think is correct which told us we can only do a stair that is 2 feet high above the roof level, which we obviously cannot have access to, an elevator we could probably squeeze in at minimal height, and a wind screen that would only be 2 feet higher than the roof, which is more unsafe than the existing paraquat. we think the ruling of the code suggests that where the high limit is 65 feet -- we are in that district -- the we should be able to have exemptions to the height limit to add these elements and, as the diagram shows. the last diagram basically is saying there are existing penthouses' appear up to 84 feet. we want a stair connected to one of those. it would have minimal visual impact. one thing i think has been created by the denial of the letter of determination. it is a hardship by denying that our clients the structures others have had the opportunity to enjoy. the product is not controversial. i think there are proponents here tha

for when they reached the bottom of the stairs there was no light pole. in fact, the next nearest street light was right here as you are reaching the underpass. but the people i spoke with said it does not provide much light, and this area with the bushes and grass underneath the overpass is very dark at night. the police say was in this area with a crime occurred. there is a light fixture here that is attached to the second column but once again, the people i spoke with said that this light does not provide much light in the area. some tell me that often it does not work at all.

it sat at the top of the stairs-- at the top of a spiral staircase in a hallway on a table. was it a grand house, would you describe it? it was a fairly grand house... in its own grounds. now that would make sense from a date point of view, 'cause this glass vase dates to around about 1900, maybe about 1905. so bearing in mind the age of the field marshal, - this is all making sense. - yeah. the great thing about a vase like this is that it looks different in different light. so with natural light bouncing off it, it comes alive. it's quite magical. it starts its life, as i said, at the turn of the century. it's actually austrian, because this particular piece is almost certainly made by the lurz factory. and lurz were there making iridescent glass throughout the end of the 19th century into the 20th century. people always used to say it's poor man's tiffany, which is very unkind, because lurz were making iridescent glass before louis comfort tiffany really took it to its high point in america in the 1900s. anyway let's have a look at the piece itself, because what makes it
