, really, to some extent, are a quirk of the code because they flow from the corner lot location and the need to modify the rear yard, so just as a two other examples, the common open space that we have, if it were located in a code compliant rear yard, we would not need a variance for common open space, but because its in a modified rear yard that responds to the corner location, different standards apply and it requires a variance. The same thing is true of dwelling unit exposure. The dwelling units that look out onto this modified rear yard, because it is modified, you need a variance. Again, we provided the code compliant rear yard, which results in a weird configuration okay. Commissioner richards . So on the nested bedrooms, 75 are in one bedroom 75 is in onebedroom and 50 9 of the onebedroom units contain a nested bedroom. To me, from a quality point of view, if you have a two and a three bedroom threebedroom units, you have nested bedroom number 2 or bedroom number 3, it would
[laughter] the short answer is that a non nested onebedroom apartment needs roughly about 23 to 24 feet of frontage to the street in order to get a bedroom that has a window on the front. When you run the 24 feet around the limited perimeter of the site, it reduces the number of units that you can get significantly because the 24 foot wide unit, lets say we try to crate 550 or 650 square foot units, you are coming back about 24 feet, then you have a n the other side. You are under utilizing the site because you are unable to maximize the depth to the perimeter ratio. That makes sense. If that is relatively clear, i can then go on. And nested bedroom is a hot button item. We know this. We have done them, actually very successfully in terms of their demand on the market for the last four or five years. We have several projects north of market that already have them i am not a marketing person, but the difference between a studio apartment which doesnt have the nested bedrooms stigma, and

It for years. I want to get paid for that. I have one of the same doors and my bedrooms. Let let me add to that, you mentioned that the Building Code requires 50 opening. The Building Code allowed that to be like a wall and literally be open. That 50 opening has to be wild walled off in this way. It has to be enclosed so that is why we often see these floortoceiling glass doors that provide an opening for the light and can provide a full enclosure. Versus a pony well. If i might, one last thing. And all of our units, we are bringing in outside air for mechanical ventilation for all the apartments. Because it is on venice, so meet to to meet the sound issues, we are bringing fresh air from the inside, putting that into the bedrooms, but the bedroom does not have to rely upon the sliding glass door to be open to get ventilation.
