Of that deck. I hope that the horners might be satisfied compromising the depths of their deck in order not to destroy the privacy of a sick neighbor. Ill end my plea for compromise with comments about the horners dr rebuttal idea of a 30 degree desired view. We believe this is a totally arbitrary invention. One would have to wear blinders to eliminate the dine sider view which includes our bedroom. But from my bed, i clearly see anyone standing within five feet of the edge of the proposed deck. The horners undesired view, the view into my bedroom, is there when its desired or not and merely have to look down. There is absolutely no evidence that a 30 degree view plays a role in sustaining visual behavior. If this were true, tourists standing at the rim of the grand canyon would risk seeing precisely what they came to admire because they would be constrained from ever looking down. Thank you for your time. I hope a neighborly compromise can be reached and that the Planning Commission m
That gets built. With the setback as it is now along the side, it gives room for plantings. We can do an attractive exterior. And, yes, the zuckers will see this and they may prefer not to see this. [multiple voices] if its setback only two feet, its not going to add a lot to their experience. Right. How much is the building setback now from the Property Line . I believe that is three feet. The only thing there i would entertain is a setback on that, but im open to commissioner comments. Commissioner antonini. Yeah, i dont really see anything thats unusual and extraordinary. And the threefoot setback on a detached home and im not sure what the zucker side is, but the three foot setback is very standard for detached homes in San Francisco and i dont really know why they should have to set that back further than three feet. And given the dimensions of the house, as you move further back, youre trying to have a room thats fairly good size there. If you start making it smaller, it kind of
The dr requestors. When i spoke to mr. Zucker a couple weeks ago, we provided a detailed elevation facing him so he could understand what it was we were proposing, but it really came down to whether we were willing to agree to reduce our extension to the rear. And we need to extend to the rear if this is going to be a feasible project. It really just doesnt make sense for this family if we cant get that family room. Thank you very much. Thank you. Is there public testimony from supporters of the project . The other mic. Im susan mcdonough. Im an owner at 133 17th avenue. And i would like the commission to approve this project so that i can increase the Square Footage for my family. I have an 11 year old son and a 9 Year Old Girl and id like to add a second bathroom and would like to add a family room in the back of the house. We had a preapproval meeting which neither neighbor attended. Mr. Zucker followed up in email form. [speaker not understood] never contacted us directly. Eventual
But you could probably be a little, you know, a little more neighborly because the property with the twofoot setback, is that all that drawing does, set it back two feet on that side . If i can show the site plan, i can respond to that, commissioner hillis. Thank you for your question. The proposal that if we can zoom in, please, at the center here that alternate proposal not quite that much, thanks. Creates an lshaped room for a family room, which is just not a functional design. It doesnt work with a craftsman interior and frankly doesnt work well with the way a family, specifically a young family, lives. And if there is anything that we can say is truly uniform behind the facades of these arts and crafts style homes is a pattern of setbacks that goes all the way down the block. The side setbacks are absolutely that i get. I mean, my question is to that drawing that you gave to the neighbor, it shows i think it basically shows an addition, youve got additional twofoot setback on mr.
Neighbor, it shows i think it basically shows an addition, youve got additional twofoot setback on mr. Zuckers Property Line. That is what we had proposed in trying to reach a negotiated resolution. Whats your opinion on that . My opinion on that is that i dont think its actually going to improve the living experience for either person if that gets built. With the setback as it is now along the side, it gives room for plantings. We can do an attractive exterior. And, yes, the zuckers will see this and they may prefer not to see this.
