>> i do have some windows on the side of my building, is that what you were talking about, just the side where he would be coming out? i wish i had a photo of my home. i have an i have an 8 foot window on the side of my home. on the third floor, i have two fairly large windows, probably six by six on either side. it gives a lot of light. i am -- i know the air and the like will be blocked. that is all there is to it. i am wondering if something can be done about that, if we could work out some skylights or something. but it is definitely going to

change the lighting in my home, and the air. there is no doubt. these windows -- the top floor has a back -- deck that is fairly open. i think something will occur there as well. so that is what i am -- i just hope you consider as well. thank you. commissioner fung: the permit holder has indicated -- i will ask you the same question in confirmation. the rear of your building, there is a recess at the rear of the building. is that correct? in other words, from the property line, the wall is recess back at the rear of your building.

-- recessed back at the rear of your building. vice president garcia: do you have a copy of exhibit 1? if you would refer to that, if you do not mind. commissioner fung: no. so if you would look at the site/roof plan. site and roof plan. so your house is -- looking at that sheet, your house is to the right of the murphy's.

to the bottom of the image related to your floor plan, you see a series of lines that show a recess from the property line going in an eastward direction. that represents -- >> that is a stairway. commissioner fung: that is a stairway? >> yes, a widening stairwell going up to the second floor. commissioner fung: where are the windows located? >> there are windows right along, right where the staialond of that, -- the outer end of that is part of a deck. that is like a glass wall there. as you go up to the second floor -- actually, in the first floor, if you keep going where

the.is -- the dot is, that is where you will find a lot of skylights. i have a big skylight as well that goes down to the garage, and a large eight by six window in the dining room. all along here, i have a lot of light, actually. so that is probably the -- what you are seeing their -- there is going down to the garage. i cannot explain what it is. it is sort of gain -- of a roof lighting piece there. vice president garcia: if you do not mind, would you put that on the overhead? as you are describing these features, point out where they are. i might be the only one confused.

>> yes. obviously, the sight of my building their -- the side of my building there is one wall going all the way up to the fourth floor, including the basement and garage. what do you want to know? vice president garcia: first of all, the way this is drawn, it goes front to back. >> yes. vice president garcia: so the windows you are describing -- would you point to where those are? >> window here. window here. this is going down to the garage. you go up to the third floor and you will see windows right above the windows i just pointed to. vice president garcia: and the

circular staircase you were describing would be where on that rendering? >> right here. vice president garcia: i had thought the commissioner was asking you about the back. >> i know. there are 2 the luster cases, one here and won here. -- there are two staircases, one here and one here. this goes from the outside yard to the kitchen. vice president garcia: thank you. >> thank you. mr. murphy. no rebuttal? ok. mr. sanchez. >> i would like to put on the overhead and an aerial photo that might help show the subject property. this long building is the permit holder's property. the adjacent building is the

appellant's property. commissioner fung: excuse me. victor, can you grow -- blow that up a little bit? thank you. that is good. thank you. >> this would be the -- my finger is huge. this would be the permit holder's property. this is the appellant's property. you can see there is quite a recess already between the buildings. the rear of building walls are a southern-facing exposures. i would not think this would have a great addition to shut up, especially considering the shadows in the photo. the existing building already extends in such a nature. that already casts a shadow on the appellate of property. i do not think there would be net new addition of shadowed by

the project. -- of shadow by the project. commissioner fung: those shadows look like it is early afternoon already. thank you for your ipad. vice president garcia: do you charge the city when you use your ipad to help us out? >> the matter is submitted. president goh: commissioners? commissioner fung: i will start. i think it would -- just to summarize my view, because my questions are all geared that way, i would assume and it is probably correct that the portion of the appellant's building where there are no setbacks in her building

probably have no windows. at the point where there are starting to be setbacks, it appears there are a number of windows. she has mentioned a number of different floors. primarily on the second and third floor. i would concur with the zoning administrator's assessment of direct sunlight patterns going into that. it is not likely the addition will cast any further shadow. however, the addition does come closer to her building. therefore, in terms of ambient light, it affects it a little bit. in terms of the overall impact,

we are talking about the permit holder having made an accommodation by keeping his building off the property line. i think that is significant in this overall discussion. the issue of how much accommodation one makes with respect to the property line situation is usually very limited in our city and in the various types of projects we hear. i think this is significant accommodation. i do not see that the issues of light and air are significant enough for me to impact this particular permit. president goh: i agree with that. other comments? or is there a motion? vice president garcia: i agree

with everything that has been said. i guess in order to accommodate the appellant somewhat, not that i suspect mr. murphy of having made statements that he would restrict building or construction activities to monday through friday -- i do not know what hours he intended that to be. if mr. murphy would come forward and tell us what he considers to be reasonable hours? >> thank you, commissioners. bart murphy, a permit holder. the more hours we work, the quicker the job gets done. 7:30 to 6:00? vice president garcia: i would even be willing to give him half a day saturday. i do not think that is too interested. do you feel you need the saturday?

i agree with your sentiments that the quicker it gets done the better off the appellant is going to be. you need to come up here if you are going to address the board. commissioner fung: if mr. murphy offered the weekdays, i think that makes sense. we are seeing a boom of construction in the higher-end neighborhoods. i have firsthand experience with the pounding on the weekend, which is the only time i get off, you know? i think we days, if you can do it, is reasonable. 7:30 to 6:00 is a reasonable time. >> is there any way i can get an inspector to come and look at

the property line? or is it too late for that? vice president garcia: for what purpose? >> just to view the properly to -- the property line, to see -- as far as you have seen, there are no windows according to the drawings you have seen from him. i just wanted you to see how much like i do get. vice president garcia: -- light i do get. vice president garcia: i think we understand that. i do not mean this quickly, but you did had the opportunity to present to us, and we are trying to help you a little bit by constructing -- by restricting the construction hours from 7:30 to 6:00. >> i had no idea you could work 12 hours a day. commissioner fung: there is no limit within the building code. >> is that right? ok. vice president garcia: i would

make a motion to uphold the permit and to add a restriction that construction only take place on weekdays from 7:30 in the morning until 6:00 at night. >> that would be a motion to grant the appeal, which would require four votes, because you are conditioning the permit. vice president garcia: thank you, madam director. >> on that motion from the vice president to uphold the permit with the condition that construction be limited to monday through friday, 7:30 to 6:00. on that motion. commissioner fung: aye. president goh: aye. commissioner peterson: aye. >> commissioner hwang is absent. the permit is upheld with conditions. >> there are no further items this evening. vice president garcia: i wish you a productive, enjoyable trip

to china. and your daughter. have a fabulous time. president goh: thank you. we are adjourned.

supervisor avalos: good morning. welcome to thursday, june 9, 2011 meeting of the san francisco board of supervisors meeting. my name is david campos. i am the chair of the committee.

we are joined by president david chiu, as well as a mark farrell who will be here shortly. we want to thank sfgtv staff who are covering the meeting. madam clerk, do we have any announcements? >> i would like to announce to please turn off all riinger volumes on cell phones. and--- ringer volumes on cell phones. supervisor campos: thank you. if you could please call item one. >>item 1, hearing to receive regular status reports on the america's cup. supervisor campos: this is

something i introduced with supervisor mirkarimi. we want to make sure that we provide the necessary oversight in the implementation of this -- of the various agreements that are implemented, and more specifically to make sure that all of the interests of the city and county of san francisco are protected come into the extent that there are certain obligations that those are met not only on the city part, but on the part of the cities involved. we have been joined by committee vice chair supervisor farrell. with that, i will turn it over to stop. >> good morning. mike martin and office of economic and work force development. i am pleased to come before you today to update you on the progress towards achieving the ambitious but exciting projects

outlined in the host and the new agreement for the 34 america's cup event. -- and the venue agreement for the 34th america's cup event. i have documents describing the even-related obligations. broadly speaking, these are the associationthings associated wie event itself and focuses away from the real-estate and those types of things. obviously we can get into more detail on each item in the memo or the presentation itself. with that, i will turn to the slide. i see that it is already up. a quick overview of the presentation. we will start out with a background for those who want to know more about what the event looks like it's self and what it

embodies in terms of bringing those events for work. we will go through the organizational structure between the parties and swell as the intergovernment parties and the agreements. describe the permiting process, which is obviously a critical part of achieving what is proposed, and must be completed before any final decisions can be made. a set of plans that are called for under the agreement, as well as additional plans relating to the events that we feel would help make clear operational needs of what needs to be done to achieve, to create the picture we're trying to create. lastly, i would like to go through topflight description of the federal and state court nation of birds along the key aspects of bringing these teams and the vent stack to san francisco in the way that is called for in the event the agreement. -- and event staff brcoming to n

and cisco and the way that is called for in the event agreement. the america cup protocol was signed that detailed the rules bringing the 34 america's cup for work. the host agreement is the america's cup organizing committee. that is a locally-formed non- profit corporate group. they are mainly charged with partnering with the aca in bringing forward corporate partnerships and other funding mechanisms for the partnership and local fund raising, a philanthropic efforts to cover $34 million of public cost of putting on the events. as i mentioned, there is a memo

that describes in more detail the city obligations that are called for under the host venue agreement. i think the key backbone of the city's obligation of the ball around three things -- revolved around three things. completing the ceqa process. completing the plant, which i described earlier in will explain further as we move forward, and secure federal and state permits for authorizations. also, the event activities themselves on the event days. a little background on the proposed event timeline. there will be an initial series of what are being called the america's cup world series events. these are in effect a tour of things that do not linked directly to the competition of

the 34 america's cup, but incorporate the same teams, 45 foot version of the 72 boats coming in for the america's cup events, and are designed to start giving people a good picture of what this new era of america's cup racing will look like with fixed sale, solid-wing sales, and incredibly high speeds. a very exciting prospect. the first three races -- locations have been set for this year. and portugal, plymouth, and late in the year in san diego, california. next year there will be several even, two of which are planned for san francisco. those would be somewhere in july-september. most likely one even in august and one in september, but that has not been totally finalized. in 2013, we will have the america's cup event itself.

starting with the wethe louis vn cup event. then it likely the oracle a bench. then in september would be the america's cup final, the defender against the challenger for the america's cup and a set of best of nine races. this diagram depicts the race. that has been proposed. -- this diagram depicts the race area that has been proposed. this is generally the box they are looking at. i think actually based on the kind of racing action they are looking for, the races themselves will be confined to a much smaller area, which obviously has benefits in terms of facilitating traffic around the races while they are

happening. as you can see, they will be close proximity to the north and water in san francisco and islands of the north bay, which obviously accords spectator experience that has not been seen at the america's cup in pass defense. -- in past events. the shows the proposed locations for the 2013 events, which include facilities a log the port waterfront starting at the south at pier 80. pierce 30, 32 were proposed to be improved to be the team of bases where the boats would be serviced, taken in and out of the water. moving north from their, you would have potential in affect back office or team logistics operations, 26 and 28 right by the bridge. pierce 19 and 20 would be even to increase operations as well as media operations. -- would be events and med

logistics operations, as well as media operations. there would be other thing supporting the events, some even seating and other things. as you move north along the northern waterfront to you will have a number of public access areas that the authority is seeking to basically program, put in attractive things that not only enhanced the visitor experience, but also to manage crowds expected. the start with national park service plans at fort mason, moving through the city's and to christie field and the west. moving north from there, there will be some hospitality corporate sponsorship defeneven likely at the national park

service plans. potentially a hospitality event at alcatraz. that would not be a spectator area obviously for the difficulty of access. that is generally the picture for 2013. i think for 2012 you will see a similar picture except for the waterfront areas. those areas will be under construction. we're trying to move through that as quickly as possible to spread out the excitement a little bit, but also give a more attractive place for the teams and spectators to come to. our are reached to datout reachn really exciting. even those that would like to see the things improved in the current plans. we have had 3500 merchants and businesses. i actually just came from a liaison committee with a lot of excitement talking about the

various opportunities for san francisco. obviously this is a key part of bringing on the promise of the america's cup. as i said, i think engagement in community feedback has been strong at the meetings and by written feedback. we have had a number of written documents posted on the web site, as well as posted at americascup.com/sanfrancisco web site. hopefully this will start acting as the attraction for people that are hoping to come and enjoy the events. we also have a facebook and twitter page. we work with them to make sure the city is well-represented in terms of the things we're working on. this slide is hard to see. i put it up not for the details, but to show we have a pretty

complex and thus far pretty complex organizational structure in terms of the federal, state, and local partners, as well as other initiatives that are focused on the parties of the host and venue agreement. the next slide will break this off into a clearer picture each. i wanted to get a sense that all of these individual activities are rolling into a progress, the america's cup or nation committee. the representatives from each of these boxes report on what has happened in the past month in the next thought. >> president chu, do you have another copy of the presentation? -- president chiu, do you have another copy of the presentation? >> i am sorry. that may get back on the
