If you would adjust the overhead we cant follow our description it is too far down. Thank you supervisor thaengs there we go. The union Street Building not expanding into the rear yard if you look at the alladin terrace building there is 7 feet difference were averaging that 3 feet back from the west neighborhood and 3 feet heading of the east in and about exactly how we applied in the residential Design Guidelines looking towards the union street frontage again, we see an exact kind of natural step adopt with the 40 foot tall home and steps down with the grade and with the two just a few minutes knows and as you can see the renderings you dont see anything but by no means that is a building that is standing down in terms of mapping moving to the alladin building that is consist with this project stepping down with the step down of the two just a minute buildings and, of course, the sbltsd at the street and because the street is so narrow by look at the renders that read the 3 stories at the street and so narrow thats all ill see if anything this is consistent with the character of the alladin terrace so as jackie mentioned their gambled in a outreach and accepted a number of items of input from the community those include modification of the bay windows think union street and modification of the siding 0 and the architecture materials and eleme element alladin and reduced the window size and changed the materials and enhanced the soundproofing and construction housing monday through friday from 8 to 5 and result again, a building that arguably most impacts on the neighbors on alladin theyre in support of project i want to speak to the parking issue on alladin brought up by jackie and danny recognize is a special alley with the traffic and want to maintain that is something that serves them as well and theyre committed to as well the proposing a 10 foot wide garage opening for two cars as jackie mentions two jobs theyll have two cars thatll theyre adding go cars with the parking on the streets if i putdown it on the street were asking them to walk around union street to taylor to the rear didnt seem reasonable considering the fact theyre adding go cars to this street your adrc maybe two to four trips on average not changing the character of the street so with that, we feel like we video a project very consistent with the existing development and done our outreach and respectfully ask the commission to approve the project as is. Okay speakers in support of the project sponsor. Other than the project sponsors team. Good evening commissioners i thank you im stephen and my wife and i lived on the terrace for 43 and 37 years for all the years weve enjoyed the empty lot will we miss that bus weve always known as some point in time there would come a time someone will build something we speak in support of jackie and danny theyve been respectful of us and our neighbors we had a frank and open conversation the 4 of us established a consensus we can agree with and the final plans is a reflection of listening to the neighbors were thrilled another young couple wants to build their dream house to raise their family in San Francisco we were the first house on alladin terrace to build a garage 10 years ago to allow us to apg there are 6 Parking Spaces so adrc go more offstreet parking shouldnt denying the garage will have a negative effect by right they having could have built one more story but instead the concerns of the neighbors about. Pardon me lisa lived here for 13 years we plan to spend our requirement in this location the proposed. A couple of spots and to drop off relatives and friends and another garage will actually reduce the traffic flow trips both the alley will be one way and driving out of alley burglary are safer more cars will face forward and neighborhood parking is so difficult to find several of us including some of us office of the city administrator rent the Parking Spaces the additional parking will be a net positive for us all thank you for your consideration. Theyve be grace us to let us use their area our studio directly faces the story poles that jackie and danny set up to represent their proposed home and have a strong understanding of the building scope in terms of dimension tare almost the same height and dimension as the other buildings weve seen in the neighborhoods and i feel that the home that the proposed home is very comparable with that block and the neighborhoods generally to keep a lot free and clear fl for all it use and enjoy. Thank you so much. My name is katey simp son. Work for hospital in San Francisco. When they discussed the desire i had a fear of elx act evictions and not knowing how that would go and i was nervous and that was the fact they assured me i was able to stay in the unit and aeroed offered to rent and know i wont be displaced. It is answered and listened to the exactly what i would have hoped. It says a lot about who they are and so i just wanted to say as a tenant i have complete support and look forward moving in. The polarize visible from the units and line up where the buildings are in the back alley so seems like it is a great way to nestal in another unit knowing there is so few new ones coming to San Francisco and feels like it fits in so the comments about the windows as a future tenant and like the amounts of light coming in and think it seems like a great plan. Just wanted to say that they seem to be great landlords and look forward being neighbors with them in the future and cant think of a Better Family keeping in the neighborhood. Thank you. Good evening. My name is brent tam and current resident of 870 union street and live below danny and jacquie and like to speak in support the project. Looking at the plan and seeing the storee poles up for the last few months the project is reasonable. I see the poles every day and height and footprint seem consistent with all the buildings mptd the sponsor danny and jacquie are informing about the project and informed of updates. I like to clarify i will be displayed. Jacquie and danny offered me a room after construction but looking to buy units and move out of state so declined but it isnt something i would be worried about so in support of the project and danny and jacquie. Thank you for your time. I live two blocks away. Sorry i didnt prepare like everyone else mp i have seen the plans and just want to say that they look like they fit in the neighborhood rchlt nothing that stands out to me and think everything looks good so just here in support of the project and jacquie and danny. Thank you. My name is alex and liv at 951 jackson for 7 year jz hung out in the neighborhood for a decade and in the bay area since i was a teenager. When i first heard about the project jacquie and danny a transparent about the plains explaining the plans. As a renter im thrilled to see new units added to the neighborhood. Not just unit but the right development. I love my neighborhood, i love living there and building myome there. It isnt without the flaws. Parking is perhaps the most challenging in the city of any neighborhood, soei so i urge the commission to support in this case and general development that whos plans include sufficient on site parking particularly fl family units. That is something that impacts neighbors but also the community and neighborhood in general. Good evening. My name is ary redstone and the owner of 1420 Taylor Street. I initially reached out to the owner because i was concerned the building would impact my view. Danny and jacquie showed the plans and walked through the design and i wasnt okay until i saw the story poles. The height of the building matches the surroundsing biltdings. I appreciate they reached out to me to tell me the story poles s went up and asked if i had concerns. It shows that they are committed to public process and cared about the neighbors concerns. I hope you approve their project i look forward to getting to know them better at neighbors. I also think the city should encourage young couples to stay in San Francisco to develop families mptd. Thank you. Good evening. Christopher lloyd and live at 1348 sacramento street. Having seen concerns today about the size of the back terrace i want to express general support of the project having recently got engaged i want to raise a family in San Francisco and happy to see projects large enough to accommodate families. My name is sonya and live at 909 vallejo between mason and taylor. I agree with many commentsed earlier this nairbd is unique and cultural rich with a identity all its own and i reviewsed the plan and believe the character and design of the projeblth is keeping with the neighbor. The buildings is identical in size to the neighbors. I believe garages should be allowed and difficult finding parking. Long time resident of the neighborhood it is [inaudible] spent weeks if not months of my life looking for parking and dont know what i would do if i had to drive to work. Yes, to echo a comment, i support the project. Any other speakers in support of the project sponsor . Not seeing any, requester you have a two minute rebuttal. Would like to clarify we are not attempting to stop the construction and we also welcome a new family and new children to the neighborhood. We are just simply concerned about the volume and bulk and the garage space. And we acknowledge there are changes made to the project, however, they dont really acknowledge that the primary basis for those changes were specific direction by the city notice of Planning Department requirements and review comments. Never the less, some of those do echo the concerns voized by the neighbor. As to the inconvenience of parking in on union Street Garage and walking up to taylor and around the corner, not true. They can park in the union street grad garage and jacquies elderly parent and Young Children will be able to walk directly from the new garage through the existing proposed corridor through the inner court a distance of 61 feet, 7 ofeet from the glauj to the front door of their entry in the union Street Building. This image illustrates the extreme degree of non compliance with quantitative requirements of the planning code. Here is the required rear yard. Here is the minimum depth of a inner court at 25 feert feet which is also the minimum depth for exposure for unit one and these diagonal lines indicates points where the 45 de your time is up. Thats fast one. Project sponsor you have two minute rebuttal. Thank you commissioners. Just a couple things to wrap up. One of the early dr requested mentioned about light and air getting down to their light well. I want to point this out and make claer to everyone on the overhead. This is the proposed partial 4th floor on union street. We valight well we are proposing about less than 2 3 of the depth on the east size and another light well for the rear 1 3 on the west side. There are significant light wells and completely covers the existing loathe light well on the adjacent property here so wanted to point that out. The degree there is consideration about putting more parking on the union street side, there is not physical space horizontally for more parking so we need to do stackers, which in certain contexts are okay. In this context it cost prohibitive for the project. Jacquie and danny, this is their home and quoted between 75 thousand and 200 thousand per lift so i acknowledge that isnt a precise number but talking real number and real family not talking about building into development cost. I just want to make that clear as well. Obviously it is Dense Development here. We made clear we think this is just really fits in with the existing development and recognize not everyone will be satisfied considering how many people in are the neighbor but think jacquie and danny have shown to go out of the wear to work with folks and make this work for neighbors. We are here for questions and rerequest your support. That concludes the public hearing and commissioners if you dont mind this is a little unusual project and will ask sanchez to chime in. And think the application is unusual. I have questions for the project sponsor and one of the dr requesters as well. They are seeking multiple variances and often have variances with the dr or conditional use authorization to remind the commission, if the variance is granted for the praumgect project if the commission desires to be more restrictive you have the full project and can be restrictive just to make that clear. They are seeking multiple variances, the rear yard and exposure and open space. [inaudible] allows a structure. The fact is the size of the structure is what is triggering the variances. On first pass i look at the plans i think i have the same reaction many of the public commenters did that were in support of the project that it does fit. It makes use of averaging existing structures and fit in the existing context. Maybe a fair question whether the existing context is over built but does fit into the existing context. Usually when we have in the fill projecs like this that are New Buildings at the rear of the lot that is the entirety of the project and so i had a question for the project sponsor. This is unusual to have a major addition to the front building as well. It is my understanding that your client lives in the top unit of the building and relocate to the new building that is being constructed at the rear. What was the reason for still maintaining and doing substantial alterations to the the front building you are no longer libing in . I understand the building was converted to cond ominiums. You sell the units or . Project sponsor. Our intent is not to sell the units. Katie will continue to live in a unit and hopefully we will have family and friend occupy the others like now. We have no intent to sell the unit. We think highest and best use for the site kw feels like it fits in the confecs of the surrounding buildings. In termoffs where you currently live and adding all that space to that unit that is something you rent . Correct. I do need to rent the top floor to offset libing expense of having a moorejudge in mart gj in San Francisco. Popping out to fill in the little other space is a natural filling of dead space. The idea for the upper floor is have a nice livable rental unit. Thank you. As part the project is adding a large light well for that front building. There is currently the building doesnt reflect or match the existing light well, which is raised by some of the dr requesters. When you have sth ability to add a new light well why didnt you reflect the existing light well . Sure, please. As you heard from dr requesters one of the concerns is the new building being tantamount to demolition so we created a large light well to match bullet the stories below we tried to limit amount of work we are doing so that is why we have chosen not to match below. That was the rational behind it. Okay. Alright. And then one question for one of the dr requestersyou are 22 aladdin and looking at the history of the development we have Great Airline photos from 1938 and overlay with current. The only property that wasnt there in 38 but built in 39. Correct. Looking at the records. It looks like you saw the variance for rear addition in 1989 and 90 . Also correct. Was that ever completed . No. That was appealed and permits issued but did want complete the work . The variance was granted and didnt proceed with the work. Thank you. Appreciate that. I think the context is supportive of the project but can be challenging given how dense. I see justification for a variance and think in particular the support that the adjacent properties have on aladdin which are most directly impacted enterms of the variances being sought in understand if the commission had additional changes but do find can be supportive project here. Thank you. Lets see what commissioners moore. Mr. Sanchez, could i talk about the property as [inaudible] versus adjoining propertys subdivided into two lots. In this particular case the lot actually mitigates the impact of a building in the aladdin lot adjacent to the property to the east, which is built prior to minimum rear yard separations and that creates a very impacting situation at least to 3 or 4 owners on union street. Adding a bidding in the year of aladdin without subdividing the lot or following the typical rear yard dimensions to unit 1 you will have a 20 foot face to face rear situation which exacerbates the situation which is created to a building which was built prior to the required separation. I see that as a major impact because if we are looking at 4 to 6 to 8 stories or 10 stories buildings in other parts of the city, i continuously refer to the issue we need to avoid created tenement unit and by forcing or asking a variance for that particular critical dimension in this new building, i believe that we are inadvertently impacting buildings to eithercidin union street in a manner that gives great concern. If this lot would have been subdivided the rules would have been different and process for approval would have been different and had other situations on sacramento towards divisadero. The slope between union and aladdin find the impact of tenement units further disturbing. And i need to be very clear about that because we are on the downslope on the north side so the effect of the taller element over the rear yard together is further diminishing the effect of light from the north. At this moment you have the reflective quality of the bay and a wide open lower units facing north which gives light to these units but i think we are potentially doing something which im very concerned about. The second point i am asking is, how could we create an aladdin address when the property is really a union street address and how could we probably in this situation take access to the garage from aladdin when the building is a union street address . The planning code allows for development of through lots when developed with dwelling and that is the case here. There is nothing under the planning code that prohibits establishment of a developing unit. What is triggering the variance is the depth it isnt maintaining the 25 percent between the two buildings and nothing in the planning code that prohibits that unit which the code allows from having a address on aladdin. A address creating a address that is under the purview of department of building inspection in termoffs the street number it gets but the planning code contemplates this specifically and allows for development of a dwelling unit because of the fact the adjacent buildings are developed. In termoffs the lots i would be less supportive that did do a subdivision because that would seek variances because we would seek lot area variances because the
