sponsor is here and will be able to go into more detail about this collaboration if you so wish. the project sponsor also submitted as part of the requirements of the conditional use authorization a market study this market study concludes that the project would have a significant market demand in this neighborhood at this location and would further support san francisco's position as a tourist destination. finally the project would serve to strengthen and extend the continued economic viability of an existing, historically significant building identified under article 11 of the planning code. that concludes my presentation, unless you have any questions. the project sponsor is also prepared to give you a short presentation on the project.

thank you. >> thank you. project sponsor? >> good evening my name is samuel johnson i'm the project sponsor. we've taken what we take to be the best parts of a boutique hotel and a european hostel and squished them together. it's not just a place for you to sleep it's an environment where young travelers can meet and greet and have an exciting time together much like a melting pot. we picked san francisco because it's a gateway city a lot of public transportation, we picked the building because it has great bones, it needs a lot of work but it has a good look which we like. we are very committed to the community. our family has had a 10-year working relationship with the
2:32 am
area and would like to continue that going forward with the job internship program, taking kids through the hospitality and hopefully we'll find some kids who like hospitality enough that they wish to stay with us. i'd like to lastly speak to the structure and infrastructure before passing on to our architect. we've had the building since april of 2008 and when we first investigated it, we found that the entire infrastructure was shot. it's mainly original 1905 equipment, plumbinging, electrical elevators, and what not needs a complete redo we did a structural investigation on the project, on the building, and found that in its current state it would probably not withstand a major earthquake. with that, i'd like to pass this over to steven lee. thank you for your time. >> my name is steven lee, i'm an architect, we've been
2:33 am
working with simon for the last 18 months on this project. in our limited time we want to highlight the rich history and the salient architectural improvements we propose for the project. just so you can see then eprojector, this is the location site. it's on the corn over market an seventh street adjacent to the court of appeals, across from the u.m. plaza and across from the new federal building. little bit of history about the building, the project is an existing nine stories including a basement steel-framed building with unreinforced masonry. it has a wonderful renaissance baroque appearance with sandstone lentles and detailed press work facade. at the time this was a bustling corner. quite active store front very populated, retail store front
2:34 am
area. so the building was constructed in 1905 by a local san francisco architect who was a pretty good architect considering the building withstood the 1906 architect. but it did not come out unscathed. it sustained quite a bit of damage. on the right hand side you can see the interior was destroyed partitions collapsed and on the left, you can the windows were blown out during the earthquake. in fact, on the stevenson side they had to do quite a bit of repair on the facade, a lot had come apart and they had to rebuild that particular facade of the building. the building was rehabilitated shortly thereafter. unfortunately, they rebuilt it using pretty much the same materials so you still have a lot of hollow clay tile partitions there.
2:35 am
since then, the building has undergone quite a few changes. here's a picture of the building as it stands today. as you can see at the very top the corners -- the cornerstone has been removed, it was removed in 1952. the ground floor store front was also removed as you can see in some of these pictures here. the ground floor store front was removed replaced with aluminum store front windows and red shingles and some decorative awnings for the retail and signage. also the store front at the very corner of market and seventh, you can see here was stepped back if the actual street facade. the main entry to the building was also altered, it was covered over with stucco.
2:36 am
the wood store front was also removed and replaced with an aluminum store front. our proposed project is really to rehabilitate the 1095 market building back to its original luster and integrity, using a sensitive approach compliant with the secretary of the interior standards. with eplan to use high quality materials that are in keeping with the nature of the historic building. as you can see it sustained significant damage in an earthquake. we will updatetózóvróy?y ñ3ózïs.tet=?t?y9
