We'll
move
on
to
public
hearings,
item
agenda
agenda
item
number
5a,
which
is
at
the
3850
Maria
way.
It
is
a
request
for
a
use
permit
to
allow
an
addition
which
increases
the
gross
flow
area
by
50%
61
percent
and
would
exceed
2,800
square
feet
of
living
area
with
a
two-putt
garage,

and

the

municipal

status
report.
Please
thank.
B
You
and
good
evening
the
project
is
a
single-family
edition
and
the
Pacific
Heights
neighborhood.
The
existing
house
is
two
stories
with
an
attached
garage
the
applicant
is
proposing,
in
addition,
straight
back
on
both
floors
of
the
existing
home.
The
lot
size
is
quite
large
at
eight
thousand
three
hundred
eighty
nine
square
feet.
The
proposed
floor
area
is
3366
square
feet
which
results
in
a
point:
five
one
floor
area
ratio.
B
The
project
requires
a
use
permit
because
it
exceeds
the
fifty
percent
expansion
thresholds
and
also
proposes
to
the
over
2,800
square
feet
of
living
space
with
a
two-car
garage.
It
does
comply
with
all
the
other
development
standards
of
the
Municipal
Code
in
terms
of
design
staff
finds
that
the
project
is
consistent
with
the
design
guidelines.
B
The
existing
house,
as
well
as
the
surrounding
neighborhood,
consists
mainly
of
houses
that
have
a
very
simple
building
form,
so
I'm
kind
of
a
simple
structure,
mostly
with
gable
roofs
that
run
parallel
to
the
street
and
not
very
steep
pitch
routes.
This
project
complements
that,
by
maintaining
the
front
elevation
of
the
house,
it
also
maintains
the
existing
height
of
only
18
feet
and
also
maintains
that
basic
massing
by
having
the
project
go
straight
back
to
the
rear.
All
of
the
exam
exterior
materials
would
match
the
existing.
B
The
applicant
has
also
indicated
that
they
wish
to
reuse
some
of
the
existing
windows
for
cost
savings,
as
well
as
green
building
measures,
and
so
staff
would
suggest
that
we
allow
them
a
little
bit
of
flexibility
I'm
in
seeing
what
windows
could
still
be
usable.
Based
on
that
feedback,
we
received
at
the
Architectural
Review
Committee
about
Windows
staff,
Senate,
courtesy
notice
on
March
30th,
and
we
did
receive
one
phone
call.
A
neighbor
was
concerned
that
the
project
was
too
big
and
could
block
her
view.
However,
she
declined
to
meet
with
staff.
B
We
asked
if
she
would
like
to
meet
to
review
the
plans
and
see
if
we
could
mitigate
any
of
her
concerns.
She
indicated
that
she
wasn't
able
to
do
that,
but
did
want
her
concerns
reflected
into
the
record.
After
mailing
the
legal
notice,
we
received
another
phone
call
from
a
different
neighbor.
However,
she
really
just
needed
a
clarification
on
the
plans
in
terms
of
how
the
plans
were
red
and
so
I
walked
through
that
with
her,
and
she
said
that
she
understands
the
project
and
does
not
oppose
the
project.
B
Staff
has
applied
the
standard
conditions
of
approval
to
the
project,
but
I
would
like
to
point
out
one
unique
condition
and
that's
number
10.
The
lower
level
of
this
house
has
quite
a
bit
of
storage
area
and
that
storage
area
is
included
in
the
floor
area
calculation
as
prescribed
in
the
Municipal
Code.
B
So
the
portions
that
have
the
ceiling
height
are
included
in
the
FA
are
so
if
the
owners
elect
to
finish
this
area
in
the
future,
they
will
need
a
building
permit
to
do
so
so
condition
of
approval
number
10
addresses
that
possible
future
condition.
So
staff
would
recommend
approval
of
the
project
with
the
conditions
in
the
staff
report
and
I
would
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
C
C
D
Chair
with
that
condition,
10
you
you
shouldn't.
We
maybe
have
an
asterisk
on
a
gross
floor
area.
So
if,
in
the
future,
someone
just
reading
the
chart
and
doesn't
read
all
the
conditions,
they
can
see
that
the
gross
floor
area
is
really
not
3366
and
now
what
you're
kind
of
explaining
this
not
really
not
really
3366.
B
B
D
B
A
E
My
name
is
Bob
bowls
I'm,
with
beausoleil
architects
of
San,
Francisco,
745
facts
in
avenue,
san
francisco,
my
client
Bob
revis
is
there.
If
you
want
to
raise
your
hand,
he's
is
happy
to
talk
call.
So
I
was
trying
to
figure
out
exactly
what
the
area
of
that
store
room
is
where
the
I
should
say,
the
storage
space
that
it
counts
as
a
potential
habitable
space.
It's
about
440
square
feet.
E
It's
got
a
high
enough
ceiling
that
potentially
sometime
in
the
future.
They
might
want
to
fix
it
up,
but
they
don't
have
any
different
plans
to
do
that
now.
So
it's
really
it's
just
there,
because
it's
there
that
a
land
wasn't
shaped
that
way
they
wouldn't
have
had
that
and
didn't
didn't
really
want
it.
So
the
owners
wanted
a
very
simple,
straightforward
project
so
and
that's
the
nature
of
the
house,
so
I
think
the
design
reflects
that
we
do
intend
to
make
it
as
as
green
as
we
can
within
economic
reason.
C
E
A
Actually
have
a
couple,
my
questions
come
from
the
fact
that
I
own
a
house
with
the
same
full
plan,
which
is
in
the
public
instruction.
So
no
two
issues
that
I
see
that
you
will
have
to
deal
with
and
it
may
cause
you
to
come
back
to
a
narc
roommate
meeting.
One
of
them
is
the
the
roof,
the
dual
roof
you
have
in
the
back.
A
This
is
a
pre
tres,
yeah,
I,
sorry,
a
truss
roof
and
therefore
there
are
no
load
bearing
walls,
interior
they're,
all
exterior
walls
that
are
carrying
the
weight,
and
you
are
removing
a
portion
of
that
exterior
wall
which
would
need
to
be
hung
off
and
and
and
the
new
roofs
will
have
to
be
installed.
What
was
what
was
your
reasoning
behind
putting
two
smaller
pitched
roofs
in
the
back,
as
opposed
to
tearing
that
roof
apart
completely
and
redesigning
it?
A
E
Tearing
off
the
entire
roof,
including
the
existing
house,
we
didn't
think
that
was
something
we
wanted
to
spend
the
money
on
the
reason
for
the
dual
roof.
Is
we
just
like
the
looks
of
it
and
kept
the
profile
very
low,
but
I
think
we
can
put
a
beam
across
the
back
where
we
were
taking
out
the
wall.
That'll
support
the
old
trusses
and
the
new
ruff
buff,
without
affecting
the
structural
strength
of
the
trusses
yep.
A
And
you'll
have
to
do
that.
The
beam
is
the
only
thing
that's
going
to
hold
it
up.
The
second
issue
I
have
is
that
retaining
wall?
It's
not
really
an
issue,
it's
just
a
concern
that
I
have
for
you:
the
retaining
wall
that
it's
between
the
storage
room
and
the
and
the
crawl
space.
There's
a
wall
that
exists
there
already
or
they're
physically
posts
right
now.
Are
you
planning
on
building
that
into
a
retaining
wall?
What'swhat's
the
intent?
This
is
an
exhausting
part
of
the
house
in
the
existing
part
of
that.
