so first, just a couple of things on usable open space. the code does not require that usable open space be located at grade, it can be located in numerous ways, either by a roof deck, a balcony, at grade. in this case these open spaces are being provided by the garage, on top of the garage, they are developing that as usable open space and also an underground connection or near connection from the main living level of the building to the rear garage. in reviewing this and reviewing the variance request i'm actually quite supportive of the proposal and think it's a clever way of dealing with usable open space issues here for this lot and if we were to have usable open space at a lower level, in fact it's actually at the main living level here at least for the unit that's being added so i think that it's a reasonable solution. additionally it's been noted by the neighbors that the rear most portion of the lot, and it is a large lot, a longer lot, is dedicated as an easement for access to adjacent properties so that's an at-grade area that c

number one is the evolution towards what bins that are more usable. i mean that those that can be yielded in combat the previous problem with what bids has been there so big and powerful the user is sometimes self deterred because it would cause more destruction or damage they and we intend to. so the book takes and look at a number of cases with an illustration were the united states has deliberately developed weapons that designed to be less power for less destructive than the kinds of day are designed to replace or supplement. >> host: give us an example. >> guest: the first illustration -- illustration to grasp is the smart bomb precision guided missiles. in an illustration where it makes weapons much more accurate. to give a great deal of military if vintages to be more precise to make sure they hurt only the targets they are aimed at in to do less collateral damage to unintended consequences. and that makes the weapons capability more usable in combat. >> host: was the neutron bomb going in that direction and? >> guest: that is case study number

is more usable because it can be wielded in combat so the user is still stirred against using with more destruction and so the king at a number of case studies each one is an illustration or the united states has developed weapons designed to be less powerful, less deadly, less destructive than that have been designed to replace it or supplement. >>host: what are those today? >> the easiest to grasp of precision in guided munitions and it did san illustration with their much more accurate than previously. you can be more precise to be sure it is only the targets if they are aiming at and to do less collateral damage your unintended consequences. that makes the weapons capability reusable from combat. >>host: was the neutron bomb going in that direction ? >> that is the second of the case studies that nuclear weapons in particular many that were in the arsenal has been so large or so destructive it is hard to imagine in the situation you would want to use them in combat and that they cause more collateral damage so that is to try to develop nuclear weapons such as the neutron bomb to att

>> guest: one has been the revolution towards weapons that are more usable.what i mean by that is weapons that can be wielded in combat with them are daft touch. part of the problem with many kinds of weapons have been met or so big and so powerful that the user is they would cause more destruction, more damage. they take a look at a number of case studies, each one of bush as an illustration of where the united states has been deliberately develop weapons that are designed to be less powerful, less sadly, less destructive than the kinds of weapons they are designed to replace. >> host: what is one of those weapon systems today? >> guest: the first dose duration and easiest to grasp is the precision guided emissions. the oldest of the case studies as an illustration of where by making weapons much more accurate, much more accurate than they've been previously run against the user a great deal of military advantages. you can be more precise. you can make sure you heard only the target they're aiming at and they use fewer weapons to do less damages. that makes

some of these new usable weapons, i support the evolution. the sun, i am opposed because it is putting the united states in a dangerous position. >> host: which one do you oppose? >> guest: that is just an area where we shouldn't pursue that. any weapon would be categorically so much more powerful than conventional forces, that even if it appears that it provides the military capability that might be more appealing, but the one you don't want to cross. >> host: do other have access to low yield nuclear weapons? >> guest: they do. there's limited capability from one country to influence in any of these technology areas that the both international agreement to negotiate understandings where countries will refrain from pursuing or developing or deploying a kind of weapons technology. there are a number of nuclear weapon countries, some are pursuing the short range that they might find applications. >> host: what is the obama menstruations approach to these weapons? >> guest: well, the pursuit arms-control in the the area of nuclear weapons is a

so just in defense of that, it's not withholding any information that is usable by the complainant or any member of the public. >> in that regard i found dr. kerr's comment informative. my organization files for requests and record requests with the state and think there is a difference between a document, however frustratingly redacted and no document at all. with that said, i can understand that that determination was made in good faith by the commission in applying what they understood to be the standard. >> mr. givner? >> just jumping in and following on what i said earlier. mr. st. croix is right. and in that the city, when we such a sunshine complaint, the department is not required to produce page after page of entire redacted information. but if there is substantive information in the document, and can be revealed with minor -- released with minor redactions, that is when we would suggest redacting. so there is a fair amount of judgment in that. and that goes to commissioner studley's point. >> we are not -- are we prohibited from releasing a document with no substance? >> i t

the way up on 19th street have developed their rear yards in such a way that there's very little usable open space and if you'll take a look at the plans before you, you'll see a project that really contributes to usable open space on this property. the yellow house in the center is the canadian consulate, the small gray house next to it is the existing property on the other side of lampson. this photograph is taken from carolyn's back window, so this is what she sees looking out of her house now. and, again, the canadian consulate and the houses going up the block. you see this is a well-established pattern of development following the broader neighborhood context guidelines suggested by the residential design guidelines. and this is an illustration intended to show the relative floor area ratios of the houses, show that this is not a new high point of massivity in any sense. we're the farthest property to the right showing that we are right in the middle as far as the size goes, the three houses up. there's a house that is several hundred square feet larger than this and they all open

as if there is not going to be enough space for occupants of the building to be able to enjoy and usable open space. it's simply the dimensional requirement and it's i think ultimately, it is a sizable project given the number of stories, the number of units and they are larger units. they are more two bedroom units which is something the city does want to see family sized housing. there is knot nothing wrong with that and the reason the planning commission approved it. they have open space that these open space variances justified and the open space is also justified. this is steeply sloping street on clay as you are going downhill. the adjacent property or clay street are lower. i think you will find the exposure to the west that will provide adequate light into that courtyard for those units that face only onto that courtyard. with that and noting the appellant themselves support the rear yard variances in terms of the configuration of the courtyard and rear yard which is just a question of the dimension and the variance is justified. i'm available for any questions. thank you. >> mr.
