for a guy that died in my hotel. on the other hand without the lack of cooking facilities, that affects how a person ages and how long they live. that's a crayon drain on their life and the idea that we are going to get precooked food from walgreen's that it's going to offset it and it doesn't. in the 1950s where the country was in better shape where walgreen's paid taxes. i would say that i appreciate all the work that you have done and the fact that we are going to get a second liquor listens. license. if it was in the unit block of turk street. i have to take what we can get. i appreciate the work. thank you, next speaker, please. >> hi, i'm going to be using

the overhead fair warning. i did send packets. first i want to start with this item which points out to the question about there were protest on the first alcohol license that walgreen's tried to get at that sight. it's good for one year. that's where the 124 protest come in. we didn't have to go back into the the community to get more. there is 124. that's why they are good in the packet. if abc did not forward it to the police, that's not my problem. the community has spoken through these protest. they are legitimate and should still be counted on 124. okay. the proof is abc recognizes it. again 124. we are not talking

about a great store. we are talking about alcohol. this is what we are talking about. we are not talking about all the things the store is going to offer. all the people that came up and spoke in favor of it they talked about the amenities. target says the same thing and any destination store is going to say the same thing. we are doing this and that, it's the same thing but it's going hurt our small businesses. we are talking about over concentration of alcohol licenses. it's the same thing i have said last time. 800 sell of liquor licenses already exist in the community. i think i want to commend david chew for his wisdom because we were again dealing with cvs and

i think he understand where we are coming from. so i think this thing is that again, the alliance for better district 6 is really concerned about public concerns and we've worked with various community groups and we want to make sure that our voices are being heard and we do it on paper and not just come in here. we could have filled up this community room, but most of the people said, well you are meeting at 10:00 in the morning. if it was at 6:00 at night we would be here. it's the time of the meeting that gets people not to come to these hearings here at city hall. so anyway. i just hope that the liquor license comes from the tender lion, that the organization offered three of them to walgreen's to

look at and maybe the other two one of those will be used. >> thank you, just for the record we are in receipt of the 124 letters of the protest. that was part of the package. thank you. >> hello supervisors, my name is -- i'm one of the people that had a letter of protest initially and obviously for the concern of the social conditions, the homelessness, the whole package and the fact that the area doesn't appear to be under served. however, i will say this, through the efforts for alliance for better district 6, the greater communication line with the p d and the especially officer van coal and with communication through the supervisors i will say this, i think we are at a better place now. i'm going to withdraw my protest and say a

special thanks to supervisor chew for clarifying questions that i need. this was initially 10 percent, 5 percent, 4 percent, i think that is a compromised term given the size and scope of the store and given the diversity that the store offers. i don't direct this my opposition towards walgreen's. i direct it towards the consumers in the area who buy the product and although sold responsibly to them, sometimes they behave badly or irresponsibly and what happens is our resources are drained in the city to try to cope with this. this is where i had to come to terms with this. i think we should move forward with the project. i applaud the

supervisors for coming with the terms and my hats off for district 6 for the groundwork. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker please. >> overhead please. this is in your board packet. this is describing the license itself and the over concentration and handout you to have a president in 2007 to stop being an off sale liquor license from public convenience. my name is john noelt and i was part of that one too. you have a precedence with the three conditions that were needed it would not serve the public convenience of the city of san francisco, no. 1, no. 2 a high crime plot which

is three times normal and no. 2 is 8 times norm al, abc license those all meet your requirements and back in 2007 and none of your board members were there for that stop type 21. you weren't there. your predecessor stopped 21 from coming in on market street. so it's same situation here. you have a high density neighborhood, it meets the requirements that the board had at the time so you can, it's in your power being heard in committee to withdraw this license from the community. they boiled it down to 4 percent of their square footage usage but also state in

their packet that 4 percent of this income comes from their liquor license, that's a very small margin for a big store, a big chain. they don't really need this license. so i think it's better to say, take it away because they have already as said earlier did not take a license from the neighborhood and the propose of having one ninety days later, they ensnarled at our request working with them when we asked about cvs what we have done and to bring it back in, but they didn't bring it to the community. this last minute issue to continue from our last meeting of february 7th that we had here. i show all those things on again, they covered

in pictures of their store of what was going on currently while they are operating. thank you. >> thank you, sir. next speaker please. good morning supervisors, my name is douglas yap. i would like to speak in opposition to this item. if i remember correctly walgreen's had a tough time selling cigarettes. if i remember they are both killing people. if you are going to give them a hard time about selling tobacco, then then are we helping them sell liquor. as i remember it's our duty to protector citizens.

if you are going to send mix message, usually people will ask the question why do we prevent them from selling tobacco but we are going to allow them to sell liquor. in my opinion it's called politics. walgreen's has a presence in this city and they can twist as many arms as they want while the tobacco manufactures are back east and they can't come out here and obviously twist the same arms. so if we want to be consistent and if we want to protect the citizens of san francisco, i say we should do it the same way. walgreen's obviously survives without selling tobacco. i'm pretty sure they are going to survive without

selling liquor. now, if you are going to do it the other way, if you are going to let them sell liquor, then you shouldn't, you shouldn't prohibit them from selling tobacco. so if you are going to go ahead with this one then i would like to suggest and i'm sure walgreen's is not going to oppose it that you let them sell tobacco. so i say let's be consistent, let's not let politics, politics influence the decision today. so i say do it one way or the other, but consistent. and lastly i would like to thank this committee for holding this hearing because according to my recordkeeping, there has been far too many canceled committee hearings in city hall lately, so i would like to thank this committee for having this hearing because you are doing the people's work which is more than i can say for the

committees that cancel it. i think they should dock the pay every time they get canceled. >> is there any other member of the public who would like to speak. >> good morning, i'm mike torres from the police station. we met with walgreen's and had several meetings with them and captain gart ee asked me to relate that he's in full support of this application and he's in favor. they were issued a liquor license back in 1959 and that liquor license was surrended in 2004. they have had a liquor license for many many years and we have not any significant problems with their liquor license when they had it back then. so that's all i have. thank you. >> thank you very much, officer. is there any other member of the public who would

like to speak? seeing none, public comment is close. >> thank you, i would like to thank all of the members who spoke on walgreen's. let me address the issues around an allowing stores to sell alcohol. we decided in the city that drug stores should not sell tobacco. i'm open to a citywide policy that should also apply to liquor license. that being said we do not have that city policy and from my perspective it's important to treat our activity with drug stores consistently as i have said, from my perspective it's important to mitigate this, i asked colleagues to consider the decisions. i think it is a

wortsd ee conversation that we ought to consider. whether it makes sense for this type of liquor license to be allowed in the neighborhood stores. i would like to thank those from the alliance for better district 6, the north market business associations. you helped to raise a number issues that i do think have been addressed with the mitigation whether it be square footage which i have heard, which alcohol sales not to be continue today midnight but for nights that have a lot of public safety and other neighborhood activities and thenen insuring there is a positive net impact. so with that colleagues i would like to ask two things so far that the

letter provides by walgreen's be continued and the agreements be continued in the matter approved. >> thank you. supervisor mark. >> thank you. i'm strongly in support of our president chew's works and supervisor as well that make sure we are protecting the area and really conscious of the over abundance of alcohol permits especially in higher concentrated of crime. i think these i am improvements address many of the concerns raised by residents. i see this as a compromise. i also support broader level thinking about how we protect the public from over consumption of alcohol as well. i know the area well because h and m is a favorite

of my daughter so coming out of h and m we've witnessed purse snatching and other crimes. i think the came race cameras will help this. i think the addition of the flagship will increase that area of that squarement i want to focus on the areas of tenderloin. the alcohol license to allow within nine months of purchase of a second one is an important measure to protect the safety as well. i want to thank mr. alg knee that jobs will be created and there is a lot of benefits to the neighborhood hopefully legally, licensed and will focus on other areas as well. thank you. >> just want to again thank

every member of the public who has come out and again thank especially the members of the community from both district 6 and 3 to share their thoughts. the thing about alcohol and the role it can blah play and should play, i think the conversation should be very specific. i know i represent district 9 and we have an alcohol special use district that has been in place for a number of years that creates restriction on what kind of business can go in there. anytime you place limitations there are unintended consequences. we are dealing with tweaking that as well, the point is that what works in one neighborhood may not necessarily work in another and whatever you come up with something that should be reflecting have what the neighborhood needs and what the community wants. what i see here is a compromise that strikes i think a good balance

among the various interest with something like this i think a good deal of deferens should be given to the supervisor and the community who understand the ground to represent that district w that i -- and by the way, a couple points i know that i would expect walgreen's to continue to work with the community. this is approved to continue with the district of supervisor and it's great to see there will be 30 union jobs created and i'm sure walgreen's will make sure we have a diverse population of the work force and would encourage that and kudos to the community groups and alliance for better district 6 and my hope is that as some of the these items come forward p people will do the

work of reaching out on the front end and not the back end because i think it moves it a lot more quickly and it's in better results. if with a, that, if i can have a motion the letter to president choo included in the record and part of the approval, if we can have that motion. we have a motion by supervisor mark. if we can take that wow objection. again i want to acknowledge the work of the san francisco police department, officers, thank you very much for your work and thank you to the community members who are here and thank you walgreen's. >> is there any further business before this committee? there is no further business. >> the meeting is adjourned.
