I also lived down the street at 1703 for several years as well. So i know this neighborhood inside and out. I dont live there anymore, as i think most of you know, but personally, i feel very close to that neighborhood and its worth protecting. What i want to suggest to you is that you should find out from the Planning Department what exactly were the standards that they used . In 17073, you were able to get the Zoning Administrator to explain to you that the reason that he was willing to deny a permit, recommend denying a permit, while he would grant a permit on an excellent street but deny a permit on a good street, namely lombard, is because he thought that the distant views were not as worth protecting as the upclose views of lombard street. I looked at the brief that the City Attorney has filed with the California Supreme Court. The City Attorney uses two types of views throughout that brave. One, the painted ladies, and, two, the murin headlands. I would encourage you to find out
