against a large condominium. we couldn't find out any details. we kept asking and asking representative and making phone calls and day after day we came back to meetings and we had no more information. so i would please like the board to consider all of the negative sound environmental and noisy negative aspect of having a large billion for people without any parking. thank you very much.

>> hi. i'm a business owner and resident of valencia street. unfortunately 20 or more of business owners in that 1,000 blocks of valencia street couldn't be here today. two and three employees and running a small business makes that impossible. but, i'm going to talk a little bit about what has been important in our discussions as business owners and that's sort of an amorphous word of character. people talked about our historic neighborhood. we had buildings that survived the 1906 earthquake and fire and we have

people that come to enjoy our shops and restaurants. it's a real term. people enjoy this neighborhood and we believe that having a very large structure that doesn't give courtesy to its neighbors in its massing and height will change that character and make it more difficult for business owners to survive. so please think about supporting small businesses and asking our new neighbors to be better neighbors by decreasing the height and fitting better in the neighborhood. >> good afternoon. my name is adrian abet. for past three years i have called the marsh

my home and i just developed my full length show. my father is doing his own show. you have heard the marsh is a solo performance of the country across the world. i love this city and i'm very proud of the cultural and creative history of this city. if the city is to continue being the hub that it is, we need the marsh. the voices cannot compete with bulldozer and others associated with construction. please take us into consideration. thank you. >> thank you for having me. my name is marilyn: i'm the host. i'm also a stand up comic and

so oh performer done many many shows at the marsh. there are many times in my solo that you can hear a pin drop. if there is construction. we may not have the sanctuary that it is the marsh. people have said a lot of the same things because we are scared. the developer has failed already and we hope that you can take that into consideration to make them do their due diligence and take into account the aspect of this community. i have been driver for 30 years. make them put in parking spaces. >> i'm a san francisco native and i have used the cafe and and important place to develop before i was the historically

committed genius. i tried to get these people to be a good neighbor as they move into neighborhood. san francisco has been a welcoming place for generations of artist to move to going back to the 50s. that should continue. the city generates before the opera. no one likes opera. people likes to be seen at the opera no one likes baseball, people like winners. we are making our losers by losers. we don't have riots or cause traffic jambs, we cry in our beer and have sex with baristas. if you need more

support for this project and the city needs to look at that. >> if i want to come back for other general public comment, we welcome you. >> hello, my name is barbara ruzel. there are so many of us that are against this project. they are all voters. i want to greet you and thank you for being here and this you for listening to us. i was born and raised in san francisco. i bought a house when i was 20 years old on hill street. my son was born right after that.

i still have that home. i don't live in it. i live right across the street. for 72 years i have lived in this area. i have they homes and i have homes that are rentals and i have worked very hard to have build what i have. it breaks my heart to see this building going in. nobody wants it. look at the people here. debits -- gets bigger and bigger. the traffic would be awful. it's not going to work and for all the reasons that you heard before. i am adding my objection. i don't know what we have to do more to influence you. we care about san francisco. everybody wants to come to san francisco and this

is going to be a victorian street with a huge tower. if this developer had come to talk to us, he refused. we need to preserve the culture of the city and the wonderful artist. please vote no to this developer. thank you very much. >> hello. my name is suzanne garn. the setback is an eye sore. it hasn't been occupied yet. there is a loss of a

parking lot and very few parking spaces. i want to support the concerns of the marsh. the idea of being quiet so they can perform and preserve it as a unique performance place. thank you. >> hi. i'm a resident of san francisco. i have developed and performed two shows at the marsh. it's not a cast where they are playing off each other. the audience is basically our partner in the shows and lots of us can over power the outside noise. basically the performers can feel each other's humanes. this is not something we can get at the media. it's important that

we protect fr the marsh from outside noises and we have non-performers come and get up on stage for the first time. they are really scared and very vulnerable. so we need to have a safety place where they can express something that they wanted to their whole life that is really important for them. if you go e to the marsh.org, you will see on then season roster they have shows that really represent all the diversity in san francisco. if you go to the theatres they don't represent this. they represent one demographic for the whole year. the march they really represent the whole community. this is only a

fraction of our community. it's so much bigger than this. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker. >> hello, my name is candice roberts. i'm a resident of san francisco. i came here in 2000 and it was an instant love affair. i have worked at the marsh for 3 years. the place that represents diversity. i have been priced out of my own city. do we want artist to remain here. do we want service workers to have a place and do we want diversity to have a

voice. it a house -- allows memo to have a voice. it negatively impacts the marsh. please think of the negative impact this project is going to have on the marsh and essentially like i said it's the last stronghold and the way i stay connected to san francisco. >> hi. my name is alex. first i want to thank everyone who is out here to support the marsh. thank you supervisor for your attention. first one of the things i would like to point out as you can tell we have a

very vibrant community. i have heard very little in favor of this development. in fact none. we have a lot of people that care about this space and people aren't antidevelopment. it's a matter of protecting the institution. i work at the marsh. we serve people from 4 years young to 104 years old. we have a huge range of audience members in terms of their diversity and numbers. here we have 12 units now who is more important to you. in

one of the appellant's claim they can't get their document right. how are we going to trust them to protect us from the noise of construction. we don't want neighbors calling cops on us when we have a performer yelling at a scene. we don't want jack hammers when little kids are trying to learn their abc's witmusicals. my question is, what will you do from here? thank you. >> i just want to make it clear, given the comments this is a section at the time for the comments to speak on behalf of the appellants. this will be another portion for the comments where you can speak. in case you have not heard from

folks on the other side. national next speaker. >> good afternoon. i want to speak to the negative declaration. the area is not a transit rich neighborhood and the area is not served by transit. this will have an impact on the area. while the mta policy is working on transportation. there is a limited range. there is a

neighborhood community option. this neighborhood was well served. the bus on valencia guerrero and 22nd street have been eliminate. designing cars when the limited number of parking spaces is predicated on an area being well served. this neighborhood has been systematically swept of it's public transit options. there have been studies that shown when you have people of higher income for condominiums they are going to use cars. more cars for their parking with

damage to our environment. >> good evening. my name is rick west. i have lived in san francisco since 1970. if you've seen hill street, it's a very quarter neighborhood lines with prequake historians. one thing about this building that they are proposing 3/4 is on valencia. 3/4 is on hill street. the bottom line is, the environmental report is flawed and inaccurate and omits many details. what more do you need to know. these people have come

here to let you know their concerns. the report is incomplete. >> my name is john lemon. this development will do a tremendous amount to destroy one of the last contiguous historic neighborhoods of this city which identify that had privilege of living. it will cast shadows on my backyard and i will no longer be able to

grow the plants that i grow, it will cast a shadow to my neighbors who have a little access to their backyard who enjoy sitting on their front areas in the mornings and having their coffee and mostly the addition of these 12 units and the possibility that these people the owners will be granted permits on our residential streement, essentially their numbers, this projection is 20. it will take up every available parking space on hill street. i think that has to be considered when we consider the impact on our neighborhood. one other point which is we are not 1 block from public transportation. we were three. the building is

along the corner of hill street to 21 to 22nd. that's 3 blocks. >> hello, my name is as -- as suzanne. when they were talking about the rich transit. it's not very rich. dirts and crowded and and it's very dangerous. it a terrible bus to take and it no the very reliable. the number 49 hardly ever runs. it's not rich transit to walk to mission. also as elected government officials it is your duty to serve the people of this

community. it's wrong that this building is wrong for the neighborhood. >> good afternoon supervisors. thank you for listening to this testimony. i'm a long time resident of the mission district. there is no doubt that this building will have a negative impact. it's never been in more crisis than it is now and never more development in that area. that is all having a cumulative negative impact or this neighborhood. that project at 1050 valencia will break the back of a parking. that in itself is a reason to support this appeal and make sure that this matter

is held in a responsible and legal and proper fashion that addresses the neighbors, the residents of that neighborhood of that whole city. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker. >> hello. i'm also a 14-year resident of hill street. thank you for taking my comments. i want to open by saying that i wish to personally support, i wish to personally support this project. i personally am in support of thought fully executed increases. i'm personally in support of those aspirations for valencia street. i, my husband take transit and serve by the modest

strip of rapid transit that we have in this city. i want to like this project. this project represents and extreme version of the valencia street. a version which logistically where it's requirements cannot be met by valencia street. it is it has been implemented from the surrounding neighborhood in this particular case on hill street. it's foot print is more than twice is size other than hill street. it is an -- anchor in an historic district. the

story they are selling to you they maybe selling to the customer. they plan to tell their tenants apply for a parking permit on hill street. maybe go. two. >> hi. i'm mike mayor, a property owner on hill street. the height is an excessive height. aspect out the property will be built 70 feet. the marsh is 33 feet. the side of the street is the same size of the marsh. leaving the protisticing -- property --

sticking out. the hill street neighborhood and mission is considered the sun yes neighborhood in the city and it's going to be taken way with a 70-foot building. we are also a world class city. i'm lucky to run across many people who pick this area as a destination and we are going to lose some of that character. i want to say that we don't need it to be 70 feet. this is no the a -- request. i'm just asking for a

sense of reason and the ability for the character that is there. thank you. >> president chiu. and supervisors good afternoon. i'm i have been going to the shows at the marsh as long as i can remember. i have friends that come to the mission toen jo en -- enjoy the shows. we need to protect it. sound from construction and from residents can affect the performances. applause and other sounds from performance can affect the

residents. these issues need to be addressed. please support our character and culture. i urge you to vote to expand the definition for sound measures on this project. >> thanks, next speaker. >> hello, my name is margaret wilson. this is molly. our family has been on hill street for 11 years. while i'm not opposed to development, the proposed development at the end is not compatible with the neighborhood aesthetically. it's also the cost of those apartments will not be an asset to the neighborhood. you know the price point of housing is getting so high. it would be nice if it were something more affordable coming in. most of all i want to say there is not enough parking on hill street as it is. it's not and the lark

of parking is difficult for families for which are there are a number of on hill street. adding more parking even with permits it's not possible to find parking on the streets especially on street cleaning days and people will park until 6:00 and stay over night at those parking spots. thank you. >> next speaker? >> hello, my name is dale did uncan, i just want to emphasize supporting everything that has been said earlier and with the scale of this development coming in and so many unknowns with the plan and what is going on in san francisco, it would be nice to have the plan a little bit mysterious and what

is going on there. if there is talk about it being commuter friendly and perhaps maybe having a conversation about okay, these units will be not available and parking permit. a dialogue between the community because clearly we need more development and we need a more tangible conversation and you get this out pouring of people. >> i have a brief powerpoint. if there is a member of the audio visual club eligible. >> sit set up? if not one of

our staff will work with you. >> i live in the tenderloin but a frequent visitor of the mission and particularly valencia street which is a wonderful place to go. in the past period of unemployment i volunteered at the marsh which was a wonderful experience. i don't know if anybody remembered. it's a marvelous institution. as we are learning it's a venue that is mostly quiet. isn't that something. i am opposed to this measure which is throughout more chaos to this neighborhood that has it's where people are comfortable, where they are happy and i can just
