Chair peskin thank you, miss major, and i hope that everybody had a good extended july 4 holiday. Madam clerk, could you please read the first item. [agenda item read]. Chair peskin thank you. This item has been brought to us by supervisor mandelman. Supervisor mandelman, the floor is uyourself. Supervisor mandelman thank you, chair peskin. I have a few amendments that i would like to offer, and i also understand the chair has some amendments, as well. The ordinance before the committee does two things.

You know the ordinance does allow the addition of dormers. The idea was these are existing nonconforming buildings they cannot be increased in terms of their Square Footage or footprint. Being able to add a pitched roof and then the Planning Commission wanted a sentence in there about calculation of height using section 2 six zero. I believe peskin, hopefully that is one you will keep in your amendment. The idea behind a pitched roof, if you have a very small living space you can do things that you can put up into that attic space. The hot water heater, those sorts of things. That would allow you to take more advantage of what is going to be in a lot of cases that will be limited Square Footage. Pitched roofs also last longer. Flat roofs tend to leak. A pitched roof will last longer and its a sounder construction. It was also with the idea of lets make the buildings that we are building in this city last longer and be a little bit more resilient over time. At this point im okay with it
