and in sioux falls south dakota , rice university, and at vanderbilt in nashville. you have heard of what is happening. commercial station -- is being reconfigured with a non- commercial purposes. i am deeply disturbed by the land grab taking place which should be at protected space for community and irresistible broadcaster. this is an important part of changing the policy. the federal communications

commission incurs the consolidation media and as as shredded just about every reform that was fought for and won in radio and television. homogenized music and in a timid constraints creativity, suppresses local talent, and detracts from our cultural diversity. thank you. >> i have been at a resident of san francisco 1993 cents.

the closure of the station is having an effect on the economy. we give away tickets to shows twice an hour during every music shift and some of these were close such as --. most were add much smaller clubs. many of them to not have the budget to promote shows. for most of them, giving out tickets is the only way to advertise. the proposal to replace the station with an internet-only station will not replace this promotion. the on line station can only reach to run the 13 people at any time. the failure rate is used with

many going out of business within a couple of years. there is a lot of talk about the effects of taxes and regulation on small businesses. some cultural programs reach several committees which have no other representation on the dial. estimates are 150,000 residents who are chinese by dissent. this aired every week night and we are a lifeline -- >> thank you. >> good afternoon. something to think about. religion is an art form.

they are part tennessee and part creativity experienced through music, paintings, and it our full architecture. a listing of the human spirit through faith. thank you for listening. >> next speaker. >> [singing] you are going to find your city fortune by and by. come to city hall

super fly you are going to find your city fortune buying and by. they will be filming a movie here send. super fly you will be flying sky high can you open the botanical gardens to me? i want to walk and you charge a fee i would like to walk and could you please make it free i want to see those trees

make it all free. i want to see all of those trees. thank you >> next speaker. >> my concern is that we have to pay prosecutor and yet he does not maintain adequate control of this chamber. there is no better example of that then the first speaker that

jumped up to the microphone every time there is a public comment and he raises his voice above normal educated persons level to where we can hear what he is saying. on top of that, we don't know what he is saying. for all we know, he is communicating to osama bin laden. what is going on here, mr. president? why don't you take control of this chamber instead of acting like a fool? we have more important things to do around here them listen to you guys play around we have serious budget problems, serious state budget problems and you were sitting up there like a clown. you control this place. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker.

>> mr. president, i am not allowed to speak on a legend. >> that is an item that we have already spoken about. >> supervisor mirkarimi might sound like he is extreme but he is not. what happened is along the lines of shutting off the internet in egypt. this is just a complete -- i have forwarded the e-mail to the entire board of supervisors and asking what protection they had against fraud.

they should walk in and take their own station back. i'm assuming that what happened with the repairs is actually being covered up right now. i do not stand in solidarity with the guy before me of course but also not with -- that has blocked listed me. this is very respectful. >> hello, thank you, supervisors, for listening. >> i and a host of a cultural so.

i am here to speak on item 21 and mention a couple of quick rightists -- items. there were numerous inconsistencies let alone the ethical and spiritual breaches. in the 1920's, the left side of the dial was designated where the weaker signals reside. the radio goes from 50,000 listeners to 15 online. lastly, this would be bad economics for the city as we have heard earlier before i got up to the microphone.

the sec has been convinced before to change their mind. dennis kucinich was using the same arguments and stop the takeover of -- from having to broadcast a generic a genre of music and was able to convince the fcc to allow them to go on. someone from our disability show has not had a chance. think you very much. >> thank you.

>> i am here representing the host of the news report broadcast on sunday afternoon at 12:30 p.m.. the program that we do is the only weekly program that is targeted to the senior disability community in this bay area. we to observe the fairness doctrine and do a lot of political broadcasting. the alert people to legislation that is going on.

i would like to echo the sentiments of most of the people that are here. we would like the board of regents to rescind the sale to these sort of corporate parties. but this was as was mentioned by the first speaker, indicative of what is happening with the radio stations for budget constraints. i'm asking you to please suggest that they rescind what is going on. thank you very very much. >> thank you.

>> i am here about the article in "the examiner." i also care about the city and like to see if it works properly. they have not done their job in the past 10 years.

i have called on their 22 times and a think that we need to get them out because they're not solving crimes. they are ready to retire. they put me in the psych ward for the second time because of a crime being committed and they lied and said i was going to bomb the asians. i had surgery on my neck and the two disks or taken out. they used excessive force and i might become paralyzed or have the nerve damage. i think we need to retrain the police department to understand

the mentally ill and go after the drug dealers and the criminals in this town. they will not do their job. i am not afraid of anyone. >> thank-you very much. >> i am here regarding my son who was murdered in 2006. his birthday is coming up. i hear her about people asking for support. i hear about people who have been murdered and how they are being acknowledged. my son was never acknowledged.

i stand out of there and i fight every day and i'm still continuing to do that. i still need support. i have my son. he was a beautiful little boy. i'd miss all of that. i have to think about that every day, every day. i miss his smile. i miss everything about him. i am here every day. his case number is 606862068.

the inspectors name is calvin jones. >> we have a special order and i think we will have to go to that because we have many people left and waiting. the special order will take 45 minutes to an hour depending on how many people ready. -- how many people are here. items 13-16 comprise the special

order. this is a public hearing for a project located at 16 -- 1269 lombard street is exempt from the environmental review. item 14 is affirming the determination by the planning department. item 15 is reversing determination by the planning department. item 16 is a motion directing the clerk to prepare findings reversing exemption. >> there is an appeal by the planning commission that the project is categorically exempt from environmental review. for this hearing, we will determine the accuracy of the determination.

the american institute of architects. -- >> i am a member of the american institute of

architects. i would like to present my reasons why the plane department. the developer loaned the money to buy these two properties. both buildings are from the 1870's. the building next door is in the back. i will pass this around so you can see the deal they want out of. a class 3 exemption for new

construction applies here because this is two units and you are allowed three. there are no other unusual circumstances around the project which would suggest a reasonable possibility of a significant environmental a fact. however, when one reads the guidelines and to seize -- -if a lead agency is presented with a fair argument that a project may have a significant effect on the environment, the lead agencies help prepare an eir even if there is no evidence of an effect. that is essentially what we have here. the significant effect is a potentially substantial change in any of the physical

conditions within the area affected including object of historical or aesthetic significance. when the board comes around, take a look at the center of that image. to the center is a space which had been a garden, a rather beautiful garden. a landscape architect lived there and she tended that darden -- garden. when a new building is inserted, one will no longer be able to see the porch and astaire that came out of this. -- and stair that came out of

this. the building code did not prohibit such a thing when it was billed. they got a permit to in 1922 and of a reconfigured the stairway. this is within the time of significant as identified by -- and his west slope of the russian hill context statement which was adopted by the city and county of san francisco. let me show you what this neighborhood look like. here is a reservoir. and here is larkin street. there was a flatter area it in the middle of the block. in the 1870's when -- first

opened his cable car and had a connection, suddenly these parcels were increased in value. 1879, a building was built here. 1876, a building was built here. the subject, the first building was constructed. they wanted to get to the house. this was a cliff. if you go from larkin street,

you would go to the end of the backyard. if you tried to go out the front door, it would be 50 feet down. the earlier development pattern was determined by the placement or was signified by the placement of the building on their lots. when the earthquake came, that was the fire line. the guy who owned the building had vinegar in barrels. by the 1899 standpoint, you can see how many have developed.

and suddenly, the city streets as we know them today began to take shape. the first thing that happened is the excavation of the site. all excavated soil and landscaping would be replaced upon completion of work. if only this was true. the next thing they did is to start disassembling pieces of the building which had made conditions of approval.

-- wrote a letter suspending the permit and a weak letter -- a week later. the backfill would come up to here. one could walk up the stairs and through that doorway up onto a wooden porch and stair. all of that is in peril because it wants to put a building. this is about to have a building 1 inch away
