you can see that the usable open space is basically none on the existing lot for the two units. for the main house there is a small deck on top here and a small deck off the master bedroom which provides second means of egress via the fire scape down the grade. there is also a 10-foot driveway here that enters into the garage that you're looking at there ferment. this is a felt owe in the back of the house. you can see what it was before. the second of the two units were placed on the property in 1955. this is the two units that we're proposing to put at the back of the house. the white lines represent the outline of the existing building. we are providing units that are more contemporary in their character, differentiating them from the historic resource. this is the main building on vallejo street. we're picking up on the material that we used on the main house. the roof of the main house is copper. the roof is the bay, the roof of the front entry. we're doing copper at the driveway entrance here, garage door. also on the side of the building on the side here. we're dogwood ba

though the mta would say it's a much more preferred scenario with more usable office space and more ideal to its operations. in addition, pier 70 is not able to be used on a long-term basis due to the development work. so in weighing the decision, i will be supporting this item. it's not a perfect transaction. it's not a perfect agreement, but some of the reasons why i will be supporting it. again it's unlikely that the mta would be able to continue its operations at pier 70. so we do need to find space for the mta's operations and this is not a small space. this is 13 acres of space that we're looking for in san francisco and as you know a 13-acre space is very hard and difficult to come by in san francisco. they did review some alternative sites and confirmed few properties were available that meets the size, zoning and price requirements and transit requirements among the other nodes needs that the mta has. so this is a long process in coming and finally, some of the information that we have presented shows that the independent appraisals
