of few teachers who actually live in a community. i always see my kids. i see the families in the street. it is critical. living in the community has allowed her to do that. when she waters of plants and takes care of everything, they are so vital in the communities. i watched the emotional strain, the financial strain of. i find this process very daunting, that the appeals have stopped families from moving into their home for minor

revisions, and i urge you to look at this seriously and remind us it has also been approved. we are here today because it has been through numerous appeals. i cannot imagine going through the much trauma. thank you. >> the issue before you is is clear. it is pretty simple renovation of all homeowners -- of the home. gooand the mission is to enhance the diversity of our community and surrounding communities.

we do typically get involved as a developer of affordable housing. we have reached out to the appellant, and they have not taken advantage of that. to bring the before the board seems disingenuous. what we would like to see is for the board of supervisors to support the renovation of this building in order to support

people who worked tirelessly to support community superior do thank you -- to support communities. thank you. >> are there any other members of the public who wish to speak of and why don't i asked the appellant to come back to the microphone, and you shall have of to 3 minutes for a rebuttal. >> we did not give the first side of the apple -- get the first bite of the apple. these people came and presented. this isn't with the code to establish an -- this is in connection to the code. they advised us everything would be done in connection with the

code. we came back to find out this is not true. we found out apparently it would be reduced. the issues are much broader than one particular permanence -- permit to. it is difficult to get it this far.

some of the private neighbors of rights and a voice. we ask them to step in our shoes and neighbors shoes and see how you would feel if this is presented to you. no one seemed to care of the environment was damaged. but city departments did not want to investigate inconsistencies that might reflect poorly on them. we sent them through expensive processes.

clearly this permit process has been very inconsistent. >> thank you, colleagues. any questions to the parties who have been part of the hearing? if not, this hearing has been conducted, and item 4 is closed. >> thank you, and i want to

bring this up to the parties of interest, and i want to thank the members of the public who live in my district and district 94 coming to speak on this -- district 9 for coming to this. at the end of the day, the question before us is whether or not there is a basis to grant the appeal and reverse the categorical exemption brought by the planning department, and having reviewed the materials, having listened carefully to each side, including the comments and report from the planning department, i

personally do not believe there is a basis to grant this repeal for the reasons outlined in the response to the appeal, i believe we should affirmed the findings of the planning department, specifically the application that is an issue. it is not final, dense -- and the permit has been determined to be exempted from further environmental review curio -- review. i would move that we table items 6 and 7 and that we approve item five of the agenda. >> second.

>> can we take roll-call votes. [: votes -- calling votes] >> there are 11 ayes. >> the motion passes. >> i asked that we can re-refer a number of us back to roll call. i understand there are a number of colleagues that wish to make quick presentations. if you wish to be referred back to roll call.

>> it says it is gone. i was not speaking in to itch. -- into it. i am making a request for a bed of the hearing. this is an issue across san francisco, anywhere from low income housing to hotels, and there are a number of outbreaks, mainly because they automatically track the infestations because of the type of and bugs involved. i do want to acknowledge the number of advocates that have been working on this with the board, including supervisor daly and walker, who is also an

active community leader, and i really look forward to working with her on this issue. >> item also calling a hearing on south of market -- i am also calling a hearing on south of market as well. >> i would like to announce the committee assignment for 2011. i want to thank you all for the conversations we have had. a native of these committees reflect the need and we have for an unprecedented collaboration during a time of transition with the challenges we are facing regarding budget deficit, local economy, and many challenges we are facing. i think it is important we have a structure that allows us to work together as well as we

for his long stand, and i'm sure that this grant will further the work that dr. katz did to benefit all san franciscans. i hope he has a forceful stay in los angeles, and thank you. -- fruitful stay in los angeles. supervisor chu: thank you. are there any other members of the public who wish to speak on item 1? seeing none, public comment is closed. motion to send the item forward with recommendations. item two. >> item two, resolution authorizing the san francisco recreation and park department to retroactively accept and expend a gift of $171,753 from the san francisco parks trust to support various recreation and park department operations. supervisor chu: i believe we have a representative from the

recreation and park department, the director of research and development. >> good afternoon. i am the director of park and recreation resource development. i'm pleased to be before you regarding the resolution authorizing the san francisco recreation and park department to retroactively accept -- accept and expend the gift of $171,753 to support various operations. since 1971, the san francisco park stressed has served as a philanthropic benefactor of the recreation and parks department, supporting san francisco [applause] parks, open spaces, and recreation facilities. they managed a number of guests on the department's behalf. we are so grateful for the trust. it is with their help that we can deliver the quality of programming and clean, green, safe open spaces that make san francisco such a special place to live and visit.

their efforts are critical in keeping the recreation centers open. in 2009, 2010, the trust contributed $171,753 to the department from these give funds to sustain a wide variety of activities in an apartment, including $82,560 to support the commemorative park bench program, 67 $460 to support activities, $1,900 to support the mystery in golden gate park, $8,690 to support the volunteer program, and $3,243 to support that may appear lastly, the recreation and park commission recommends that the san francisco board of supervisors accept and expend retroactively the skit. in sum, i would like to again acknowledge the tremendous efforts of the park trust and extend the san francisco recreation and parks

department's most sincere thanks. thank you. supervisor chu: thank you. why don't we open this item up for public comment? are there any members of the public who wish to comment on item two? >> good morning, supervisors. i have lived in san and cisco for 58 years. i would like to speak out in support of this resolution, and the reason why i'm speaking out on it is i think a lot of the money deserves to go to the mission recreation center. oscar jiminez and i've played together, and he was one of my best friends at sacred heart when i was playing for sacred heart on our championship basketball team. i think money like this needs to go to places like mclaren park and some of the other areas of the city which do not get as much money as some of the high- profile parks, so i feel bad

mission rec deserves a share of this money, and that is why i'm speaking out on this. the work of oscar deserves to be furthered by money like this. thank you. supervisor chu: thank you. are there other members of the public who wish to speak on this item? >> good morning. i just wanted to fill in a little more color and context about the way it is described, but the first part of our efforts revolve around five centers, and we are sitting there virtually empty and unusable, when the general manager first came on board. he said that was a big priority for him, and we instantly went out and talk to many private donors and foundations to raise the money, and that meant that hamilton will, for example,

which had no safety equipment, and a fitness equipment, no life saving equipment, could be opened on time so that the public could enjoy it. harvey milk recreation center had fabulous state of the art recording studios and digital photography buffs, and they were completely empty and a void of any equipment that the public could use. these are places that were formerly used for midnight music under other activities, so we went ahead and build those with equipment. we got sunnyside conservatory, a beautifully renovated victorian glass house equipped with furniture so that people could have weddings and public meetings there and actually bring some resources to the department for those rentals. that is what we did with the first phase of this project. of course, as we move ahead with the next renovations, we are getting ready to bring in the furniture fixtures and equipment for those as well.

of course, as these projects move into your district, we would like to work with you on finding the people in the neighborhood and foundations and corporations who can step up and do that, but i also want to address what the previous speaker said. as a result of working on this project, we realize there are many small, critical needs, and their budget situation is such that they often do not have money for basketball nets. apparently, the budget for toilet paper for the entire year is almost nothing. supervisor chu: and going to ask you to continue to address the previous issue -- the issue the previous speaker had mentioned. >> at the outgrow, we instituted the gear up special fund to fill in the special needs at red centers where sometimes a very small amount of money can make a huge difference -- at rec centers.

we are supporting mission rec center. we made it so that a director at one of the various centers has a need, they can apply to us, and we can literally turn that request around in about 40 hours. i have the incredible power to give those gifts of up to $2,000, and i work with bob and the recreation and park department on making those allegations, so we continue to do that, and we are going to be delighted to support a scholarship fund in honor of oscar, which has just been announced, so we will be collaborating with them, so thank you for your support. i hope you will accept this gift, and i look forward to working with you on keeping these centers active and lively. supervisor chu: thank you. are there any other members of the public who wish to comment on item two? seeing none, item is closed. we have a motion to send the

adam forward with recommendations. without objection. next item please. >> item 3, a hearing to consider the issuance of a type 75 on sale general liquor license to anthony lavia for southern pacific brewing to serve the convenience of the people of the city and county of san francisco. supervisor chu: thank you very much. >> good morning. san francisco police department. before us today is an application for an on-sale brew pub. we do not see a lot of these, but they are becoming quite popular with the technology of brewing beer -- the cost coming down so much that the initial acquisition cost is not what it once was, so i think we will see more of these in the future where restaurants are going to start as another attractor, bringing in the component where they are growing in their own beer on site. this is an existing restaurant. they are currently licensed, but they are adding this brew

component to it. i would point out that the license does require food service, and those under 21 years of age are allowed on the premises. i would point out there are no letters of protest that we have been made aware of, and we are recommending this application for approval with the following conditions -- one, sales, service, and consumption shall be permitted only between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 a.m. and that would be daily. the premise shall be maintained as a bonafide food restaurant and shall provide a menu containing an assortment of foods normally offered at such restaurants. the petitioner acknowledges receipt and understanding and shall comply with the business and professions code. next condition -- the monthly gross sales of alcoholic beverages shall not exceed the gross sales of food during the same time. the licensee at all times shall maintain records which maintain -- reflect separately thes
