i'd like to introduce the architect i'm sorry for going over >> good afternoon commissioners i'm matt i'm are m h architects. i'll keep to brief. i wanted to point out to you the - how does this work >> just said to talk about how much my office is working with steve to try to preserve the obvious beauty of this building. again, i'm a native san franciscan i grew up right up the street. you can see this building from my mothers house. i consider this building to be

spanish colonial revival. its mission high school it's a real asset to the mission. this is the sort of thing i whole heatedly want to preserve. the details of the internal i want to celebrate. just to give you an idea this is the fine metal work in the front entryway we're looking at preserving. and for the interior the main space there's very if i buildings that have a double height space. so we're so excited to believe

to have those wonderful light responses that surround that we have ever intentions of preserving and using as a - it sets a rhythm. i'll cut it short and say we're going to work hard to celebrate the building and let the architectural history >> thank you. >> you've reached do 18th hole. >> it was great playing with you. >> is there that i public comment on this item? come on up >> i'm molly and i'm really

excited to play with my friends at the golf course. that's it >> thank you hi there are i'm mark you own and live near the apartment building on the south van ness. i want to say that initially myself and my tenants had concerns monthly about the bar and drunken patrons on a street and t and thgolf.

i think that a place like. offers a place to go. this elderly couple came up to me and said there's nothing to do. my son is not here but anyway, that's the biggest point i want to make it offers something for real kids not kids in their 20s

for older kids who have another place to go in the city. thank you >> any additional public comment. okay seeing none, public comment is closed conspires >> thanks. the idea of a muni idea of a golf course is wonderful but could you speak to why you're going to do the hours you are and why liquor instead of beer and wine and one of the things i've heard loud and clear at the open house the most common comment was make it affordable. i'm not going to the diversity of ageness >> economic diversity. so i intend to keep the golf

reasonable and it's around $8. i need the longer hours to be able to supplement it. when you do the numbers of golf it doesn't support itself. i need the income from the food and from liquor in order to be able to keep this it's a neighborhood thing. that's important to me that's why i'm seeking the longer hours and focus on the older kids and the families. the old and adult on the latter hours. so it's primarily.

>> i share your goal. you imaginations your partnership with neighborhood groups could you elaborate on that. and a also have you touched base with the supervisor >> i sent an e-mail to the supervisor but we evaporate had a conversation yet. i've met with new door adventures and i've signed on to bring in two interims from at risk youth. that will be an ongoing thing we'll be doing. i've met with so many

local landmark and it was a total fun thing but it doesn't exist today. it was never that crowded but i recognize what can be done there.

i like it you're taking an old building and i imagine some folks who wouldn't want to put a business in a old - but there's also a need like i would to have something for the community. i like you're planning to do interimships and maybe you, think about something for the neighborhood would be good as well >> commissioner. >> i think this is a wonderful idea and it brings back a lot of memories of us having going to

the tahoe you would go there for fun. and it also fits in, well with some of the things we've been doing at my dental office we is usually have a baby shower with a theme and miniature golf will be great so maybe you'll be up and running when another activity comes up in my office. it's a great activity and i move to approve >> on that motion to approve with conditions (calling names) so move forward commissioners

as a result, the department is asking for the following modifications to railways the height by it feet and reducing the ceiling height and south bodily injur reducing the depth of the second and third floors - and reducing the depth of the second and third stores between by 5 feet. we request those to the scale and in relationship to the 21 feet to the south. the modifications to the top floor front set back were there

to minimize the stories to the south and approximately 7 and a half feet shorter than than the propriety dwelling. it does apply with the guidelines and in incorporating the rtds request would not be realistic because it's relocating the master bedroom and the children's room on different stories. they recommend that the don't worry about permit be allowed with the modifications recommended. this concludes staves presentation i'm available for
