Five Story Buildings are completely out of character in our neighborhood and i am sure that you guys have been in that neighborhood and you know that, but the dl requestor did present you a heat map that visually describes that. The neighborhood is described as the hills and valleys and this structure does not honor the topography. Architecture that steps back before it goes back and reflect its should be a requirement of this design and i know that the dr requestor talked about the property and the context of his house, but the rest of the neighborhood is much smaller than his house, and the house across the street is extremely smaller. I thank you for listening to the impute of the neighborhood and it is our naid and i think that the neighborhood of San Francisco gives San Francisco charm and the neighborhood sensibility should have as much, if not greater priority than the sensibility of the San Francisco planning department. Thank you for hearing our position. Next speaker, and i w
My name is gralin braille and i live at 615 duncan street and i would like to start by making a comment and i dont know how many of you are native san franciscans and i am not. I moved here 50 years ago and i originally lived in russian hill and i think that we would all, if you have been in the russian hill, i am sure that most of you have, you will recognize that it is a high density neighborhood and it has a different player than the valley does. The valley is most of the people here have talked about definitely has the charm of more of a Single Family or a family orientation. And it was what has been stated before, this is currently a eclectic neighborhood where there are a lot of homes, if you look on new berg street there are a lot of deco and you have victorans and in bruces case it is a more interesting more modern building that has definitely fit in with the way that it fits into the nature of the neighborhood. This particular building that you are looking to decide what you w

This case a 5 Story Building is so outrageous and to start with a 6 story and come down to 5 were not dealing with someone 0 who is wanting to have this building fit in. We looked at the plans with bruce but the whole neighborhood has been in support because those things are going to work w in the neighborhood. We dont want a fifth story to set precedence in the neighborhood. This doesnt set back and this is on a steep hillside but we want no fifth floor and the third and fourth floors to set back and step up the hill. We wish the Planning Department had done that ahead of time we want those changes made and were fine with going ahead with this building. Thank you very five Story Buildings are completely out of character in our neighborhood and i am sure that you guys have been in that neighborhood and you know that, but the dl requestor did present you a heat map that visually describes that.

San jose and this meet sg important to me. I actually go to go back to work, and i want to be sure that the people who could not be here from work in the area had a voice here. Do i want to say that i think that preserving the character of the valley, is appropriate. And there is a lot of stuff in the media about whether or not this is a third story or a five Story Building. If this is not a five Story Building, the house that i live in which i consider two story, would have no stories. So i believe that in terms of the character of the neighborhood, you know, reducing the story is an absolute must of the Ongoing Development of this effort. Set backs, if i read through the Design Guidelines and throughout there he mentions the set backs and preserving the character of holding the privacy and light in the rest of the neighborhood. This is not just about the individual neighborhood, but a lot of bruce and his partner who has put a lot of his effort in pushing through this and it is also
