ultimately there was no - during the course of the project the site plan was inaccurate and the building was even though set back further from the street as shown on the plan but they were able to consider all the issues and they choose not to make any changes and it was approved. on 2 fillmore street it's to allow new retailer shop and they are based in german i didn't. we said you have to have the

stores open in order to allow nor the 11 floor issued. and they disagreed and they believe it begins at lease. so they have 9 that are operating 2 are leased but dollars no permits to operate them one in illinois. and the one has a sub lease to be used as a gallery. so they denied the permit and will adopt written finding though this effect in the coming weeks. so i think that would have an impact on the decision and we'll

review with the city attorney and incorporate where the changes are to our procedures. lastly last thursday the coastal commission meet on a project of the soccer field board of appeals upheld the appeal and i don't know if anyone can remember that the coastal commission upheld the project as proposed. the staff offered some changes but it's the question of whether or not its to stick or not and they said the matter was handled properly. there was some certain or

frustration on the part of the staff i'd like to say the quality of our coastal plan it was adopted in the 80s and it has not been amended i think we don't have a lot of policies and objectives. there was only one objective but for the sub policies and we found it complied with that so there are certainly other municipalities that have this i'll go into greater detail. maybe i'll answer the question about trader joe's but we'll refer that to another commission and on our staff can provided

some recommendations on plant that are more suitable. >> yes mr. sanchez on the board of commission on@/-y÷ the detai. with that decision and whatever wording are i don't know what's being considered but because it is the staffs definition does that - is that going going to come back to the commission in terms of some kind of resolution ordinance or anything? or is it going to the board of supervisors? >> the form use controls we have made about 9 or 10 amendments over the course over the years but one of the debates

last night was whether or not the stores should be like arrangement stores and if they have a store in the commercial district but some of the commissioners felt if you have a large company that that should be considered former retailer but the commissioners - the boards decision didn't get that far but the code says the use has 11 or more other retail stashlts establishments and we would work with the city attorney's office. but we'llr

interpretation and we'll elaborate more on that. they're not precedent setting but they made clear their interpretation of the coincide and would you bring the wording change to the commission what if we disagreed with the board of appeals? >> the zoning administrator has the ability to interpreter the planning code and the board of appeals has in the city the final say not the planning commission. policies are something that the planning commission can adopt but i think the board is the clarifying their interpretation here. it's probably worth more

discussion. and before coming to the planning commission in the future we've seen many revisions already but certainly we can do something different. if you're intent is to not consider leases you could clarify the code to make that such and i was going to say i'm not to say >> commissioner anthony. >> yes. there's a difference between policy and the interpretation of policy. so i think we should have a meeting on that. and also i hope the contact has been made with the particular

firm. sounds like there being a selective in where they're putting their stores. we don't want to discourage them i'm not saying they should be approved but their aware of the process >> they were represented by the counsel last night but they're a closing retailer though. she was concerned she has a store a few stores down and the concerns were i guess the store in hillsborough is located near another retailer they have the allegation is their you locating in areas next to existing stores

that are selling the merchandise >> sounds like the product is available in san francisco and other retailer stores but if there are there were one of their stores/$ go to get the designer products. >> what does the city attorney role-play in this. about federal case law about legislatures and lawyers get involved i wonder - >> the city attorney can - >> yes. i have. >> they have the administrator

interpreter the planning code and the board of appeals can hear the cased related to those. the board of appeals has legal representation and they assist the board in the finding. but they don't have any - i mean i don't have a position one way or another on that. it's just interesting >> we have the ability to file a lawsuit against the board of appeals. we've done that quite regularly >> but there's a - obviously this a reason. >> test.

>> commission hearing. mr. rogers already convalesce the sequa amendments but in question to the - the newly appoint commissioners that have a question about the environmental impact reports and that's largely a training issue and we'll continue to work with the commission in explaining the chart but ms. rogers said we're continuing to work with the commission. what the proposed pieces of legislation. the commissioner also approved a certify at 7206 daughter patch

area notes saloon. is commission also provided the eir on your calendar this afternoon. the commission found the analysis of historic - of historic and cultural resources adequate within the document there is one inclusion of the measures identified in order to protect impact. the environmental planning staff is working on a request to that request. the commission looking at the rehabilitation thought or son building a category one building

within the conservation district as well as a new residential tower and mexican museum at the base of jessie square. after it was over there was opposition and support think the process there was shadow impacts and the departments report within the sequa and the rec and park. we respond and the commission was satisfied with those comments. so after a lengthy discussion it

was approved. many of the commissioners were not happy with the base of the tower they felt this was the contrary jewish museum and the adjacent building so the condition of approval is that the developer will bring it back to the agricultural review committee. it's a findings of compliance with those elements next to the project. so both of the other items on the calendar were it possible items those were continued to the june 5th hearing and that concludes my comments.

thank you >> appears to be none. thank you >> commissioners if there are indeed none we can move onto the items that are within jurisdiction of the commission expect the agenda females and when the item is reached the public may address the commission up to 3 minutes. >> two names. (calling names) >> good afternoon jonas you've been doing a good job as secretary. i think the coolest one on the waterfront and down there next to the auditorium there's a fog

machine i haven't quite figured out how will mystify the area and looking at the water there's an open space and next to the ridge line you can see. there's some type of company called fun rise and it's taken the trends we've seen in investments in companies and there are a one hundred or a thousand of neighbors and they oversee or challenge the how the development works interesting in terms of of space but how we how retailers fit inside and lots of time times if we is a large

developing company they'll put into the rail space. but if you have a hundred neighbors you wouldn't see that into play. whether or not it comes into realities on a small-scale. and 4704 farrell street it hosts the ugliest display of american history. there's a pizza place across the street and we're hopeful we will receive health and well-being as we were promised >> thank you, ms. chapman.

>> i've often said how grateful i am when i hear about thing that effect our neighborhood. what had been you know where a place where it had little open space. but they looked like they went out and cheap merchandise. but the graffiti on pope street. in 2008 it was a hopefully place there was a church and a lot of folks were coming. there were many things that could have been done. what has negotiating

group drove auto the residents and nothing positive. the bar owners promoted the kind of thing that the commissioner talked about degraded the wall suddenly must roomed and graffiti and horrible stuff. then it was treated like a slum. then in cedar alleyway folks camped out there. some of the things you were treating this little group of negotiators as if they were good people making decisions. who do you supposed was

solicited for presumption. i'm there on the street i guess if you look at moves theirs broth he will scenes maybe you think i could teach them

>> very well good afternoon president and members of the commission. i'm tim with the environmental planning section and i'm with the proposed ground water proposed project. this is one that compromise the draft before you is the eir that this will be certified in 2008. this is the project manager for the proposed project and heel briefly describe some of the major issuesnd follow his draft hearing to public comment

>> thank you tim. good afternoon, commissioners i'm greg i'm the grounded water manager for the storage project. as tim mentioned this is one of our approved project. it's beyond of the goals on the first slide. if you'll be able to pull up this slide. it's one of the water slide projects. it's a dry year water project. the projects objectives are to manage the south west grounded basin and this allows for the

recharge and pumping and third to a dry year it is to provide a new increase of water availability during drought. so this map shows the southern portion the west side water division is from several communities and it terminates in the golden gate area. the partners on this project are the city 3 entities and in - they receive 1/3rd from local ground water wells.

they're working with them to store about 6 hundred and 50 gallons of water in the ground and we are going to throw challenge program bank water in there during normal and wet years and then that water will be there for additionally use. so the cap part of the project is to install those 16 new wells and well stations to uncommon. so this is exciting for us in over 50 years last time it was

above ground reservoirs was in 1965. we've been working on a regional ground water program and have a basin project that was used in an analysis we did a pilot ground water analysis and just recently a ground water plan was comet and adopted last year. this map just shows our grounded water network in the basin and

those wells were instrumental. next i'll go through a series of 3 slides to show with the 126 grounded wells are. this is the going to the location of the wells. then in further in the central portion of the areas down to san francisco and then this map in san burner. this is example of what the well stations look like. they're all modeled depending upon the size of the well scale and in some cases the well

stations are in more prominent locations we're putting in some landscaping they'll cut back on their pumping and will allow the

national recharge to build up in the basin we're stog water that way. and the benefits accrue in dry years and we will reduce our well water and then the grounded water will make up a portion of their demands. so this additional 7.3 will benefit all 2.6 million customers and kind of help us to stretch our normal supplies through the dry year. that's it on my presentation unless you have any questions >> thank you.

>> this was dlifrtd to you and staff is not here to respond to comments. such comments will be transcribed and responded to the document which will respond to all documents received during public comment and may include revisions. following certification of the final eir therefore the comments should be considered for the adequacy and
