5:33 am
i'll give the mike to them and also a gentleman from the assessors office if you have any additional questions >> commissioner and mr. fry thank you very much for me being here i'm the owners representative for 1019 market. i want to thank for the work you folks have done we're proud to be part of it. we've done projects in other cities. the miles act is very important and i'm available for any questions. ask me anything you want >> thank you commissioners. we have one more sponsor? >> yeah. >> i'm greg i had a presentation prepared but time
5:34 am
is getting short i'll be happy to be available for questions. when my wife and i bought this property it's an overwhelming project it's a wreck and a lot of water damage to it and poor maintenance in the past and we defrmd we were going to restore this building leaning toward restoration rather than rehabilitation. we're talking about what we've done a couple of examples and keeping it historically correct i had the motor analyzed and reproduced almost the same motor mix and we rebuilt the windows instead of replacing them and we used a quarter of inch of glass. we've been - we had a lot of
5:35 am
wood rot repaired. we upgraded the building but we've been careful. i had a master craft man's working on the job he takes those beautiful woodwork but a lot of it had water damage and took it out and straightened it out and put that back in place. when we've had to replace materials to the extent i went out and matched the redwood. and we have a long way to go there's a lot of things in the house. we've had plumbing leaks where the sewage has leaked out.
5:36 am
we have very good craftsman working on the house but a lot of time and effort and money has gone into this we think this house is a perfect item for the mills act >> thank you. commissioners any questions? seeing none, any public comment? on any of those public comment is closed we'll bring it back to commission. i do what one on the liability stream one mr. fry. with the big addition of the garage to the front etc., you know, are we stretching on this one and the question is i see
5:37 am
repairs to the front steps and the roof desk and stuff that wasn't there that had nothing to do with this. i'm a little bit lessory and the goal in working with the property owners here was to revise some of the work that's required so if there is work to be done that will reduce the overall size and bulk of that and to return the garage to the historic setting the language is lose but the property owners were comfortable with. that language can be strengthened in the front yard set back but if there is
5:38 am
anything to be addressed with the property owner we feel their heats in the right place and the general intent is to do the work but we can add to it. yes park and rec staff there's the historic property with the garage at the front and the addition that was done to the back of the property. the work that's included is work that's effecting the historic structure only. the things we allotted them to put into the property that is relating to the garage for instance, where the location where the garage mets the how is it is causing water damage running back to the historic structure. so there's a few little cases
5:39 am
that might seem a little bit sketchy. there's a justified reason for including those scopes. the same with the addition we didn't allow them to include the after the accident with the mills act so there was things that were back and forth and had to be sort of out >> yeah, the mills act is for upkeep and restoration. i've been a big promoter of the mills act this is something we've got a modern addition of a garage on something and we're starting to step into and repair this modern stuff. even the watertank is a defect
5:40 am
in the water dine. i'm a little bit weary on this 20th street one >> yeah, just to reiterate what ms. parks said the goal in strushg was not to allow the work but work to preserve the longest gift and the continued use of the historic property we included it in so repairing the water issues in the garage would, in fact, did he take care of the water damage. if we can make that connection we would but if not we'll have them pull it out >> commissioner highland. >> thank you, carl. >> how many mills acts have we
5:41 am
had so far. >> 5 active contracts and this would be 7, 8 and 9. >> so we're still in the single-digits. i know the street i know the entire street along those blocks have those garages and they all have those water problems and anything we can do to help that will help the fountains to them. i wasn't preparing to say that but i think those all 3 are great and i would support them. there is one typo i think in the 2550 webster and the pages are not numbered its number 2 on the second page of the application property falls under the
5:42 am
following tax assessment values and it says commercial and residential mix use is checked yes and i think it should say no >> you're right. >> it should say yes under the residential. >> i don't know if you want to discuss further. >> yeah. thank you i think those are all impressive. i met jeff green on another project and he showed me pictures and jeff is one of the best in the country of doing restorations of the buckle or knows and i very much encourage he's aid and abeted by the mills contract.
5:43 am
so do we want to go one by one. >> i would need a motion and a second. i make a motioning motion to adopt the one mills. on that motion commissioners to adopt the resolution recommending the board of supervisors approval the contract for one 19 mills street (calling names) so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 6 to zero >> so i make a motion for 11 b recommending the commissioners approval for the second. >> on that motion for 22 webster he recommending approval to the board of supervisors
5:44 am
(calling names) so moved, commissioners, that motion passes numerous 6 to zero. >> i make the same motion for 6920th street. >> second. >> on that motion for 6920 street for recommendations to the board of supervisors (calling names) snomz. >> commissioners item telephone for case no. 26 at occurring many street requires for
5:45 am
approval. >> o1 occurring many street united states mutual bank saving building. >> i'm sorry i'm working on the accelerator - elevator process i ask to be recused. >> commissioner hayes our recused. >> thank you. just as a reminder in its capacity as a certified government they're given me comments on the historic office for their consideration you are about to give the mutual savings building has anyone of the most fascinating cases it's going to
5:46 am
end up in a magazine. those structures are largely separate building they have 3 different architecture over one-hundred years the bank building is a 12 steel frame office building and is completed in 1902. it survived the earthquake in 1906 and it's under article 11 and it previously for the historic preservation and i. known as the annexation this was destined for the core of the building. chavlgz anymore is one of the post architect in the modern
5:47 am
recession. a 10 story you addition was pled along the west side of the building. it's lowly okay. and the designing construction is a turn of century for the finest styles of san francisco. and for a post modern addition. the identified period of 6 of 1902 with the restoration of the original building and it kworpdz with the first building. the architect and design for the national register it was only a handful of buildings that survived the 1906 earthquake. the department liquor store
5:48 am
concurs that the original believe and the 1904 addition qualifies for the nomination. it benefits from minor additions particularly as it is designed this addition met the standards and it should be nevertheless, discussed with the buildings overall integrity. the nomination will benefit from the brief discussion of the engineering including the forces labs and ceiling and the serials were fraumd famed from the bridge. this is what you h have before you >> thank you. does the project sponsor have
5:49 am
any - does the commissioners have any question >> i wasn't quite clear how was the 20th addition considered. >> in the namths it's the secretary of exterior standards but we that it should be duces in the overall buildings integrity. >> okay. thank you. is there any public comment on this matter seeing none. this goes back to the commission >> could you close public comment. >> yeah. i'd move approval to endorse the item to the natural register. >> the 2013 discussion as a attraction to the overall intricately integrity is a good
5:50 am
5:51 am
>> hi, i'm with building san francisco. and we have a special program of stay safe today where we're going to talk about what you can do to your home after an earthquake to make it waterproof and to be more comfortable. we're here at spur in san francisco, this wonderful exhibit of safe enough to stay. and this is an example of what your home might be like after an earthquake. and we have today with us ben latimer from tvan. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> we'll talk about things you can do you don't have to be a professional contractor to make your home more livable after an earthquake. >> i want to talk about things a homeowner can do.
5:52 am
we have comfort and we have things like a little bit of maybe safety if your front door is ajar and waterproofing if you have a leak in your roof, or if you have broken glass on the window. >> so unr, one of the most important fib use is keeping outside out and inside in. let's look at windows. >> let's assume this window is broken in the earthquake. we have wind and rain blowing in. one of the most important things you need to do as a homeowner is secure the plastic properly. if you just take staples or nails and put them into the plastic, we're going to get a strong wind and rip it right off. what i'm going to have somebody do is they're going to have -- this is an old piece of shingle. you might have -- everybody has a piece of wood in their basement. it doesn't have to be fancy. they take out this rusty screw begun, and hopefully you have one of these. >> there is one at the neighborhood support center. >> at the neighborhood support center. you're going to wrap this plastic around this board, take
5:53 am
your screw. and then screw that in. >> you need a permit for this? >> you do need a permit for this. and you can contact the former head building inspector to get that permit. that's it. now when the wind blows, it's tight and it's not going to pull through, having a single point of contact. >> great. what about this door? take a look at this door. what can you do? let's say it doesn't shut tight. what can you do? >> for the sake of argument, we're on the inside. i can't lock my door at night. i have a very similar, very similar idea. i'm going to take my 2 by 4. i can put it across the jamb in the door. one. two. maybe i want another one up here, maybe another one down there. but i can go to sleep. and that quickly, i can get it off
5:54 am
in the morning. >> terrific. what about the roof up here? we see people throw blue tarps over their roof after an earthquake. that seems reasonable. >> i think the blue tarp is reasonable. the things that people want to know that they need to know is if you have multiple tarps, how you overlap. starting from the bottom and moving up so that you're overlapping this way. so, rain running down doesn't slide under your tarp. >> right. >> and the same technique we did over here, as silly as it may sound, wrapping the end of that blue tarp with your board and then securing that if you can underneath, if you have to on top is fine. but making sure that you don't have an area where the wind is going to get under and bill owe that tarp. >> the wind can rip it right off. >> and then you're back up there again. >> let's go inside and check out what we can do inside. >> old fun. here we go. >> so, ben, i see you have nails, universal tool right here. >> man's best friend. duct tape. let me show you a couple things we can use this for after an earthquake.
5:55 am
this window right here, because it's off kilter, we have open seams all along. i have a lot of air coming through. i want to stay comfortable at night. i want to keep that air out. it's as simple as that, all the way around. >> excellent. >> now i don't have any air coming in. let's say this one is one that would annoy me. everything is a little off. my doors won't stay closed. i take a piece of my favorite duct tape here, close it up. and at least it will stay out of my way when i'm trying to live throughout my day. if we're not talking about pressurized water, we're talking about just the drain, sometimes they're going to get a crack here. >> right, sure. >> and you're going to get a leak. duct tape around that is going to help us get through until we can get a plumber out and get that fixed as well. let's say we only have electricity in one room, so we're running extension cords across the house. if i'm going to run an extension cord from one room to the other, i don't want kids tripping on it. i don't want to trippon it. i take my trusty duct tape, tape it to the floor, and i don't have to worry about it
5:56 am
getting kicked. >> great, great. look at this. let's look at the duct tape here because we see a big -- >> yes. in the event of an earthquake, i don't think we're going to have too many -- too much debris that's safe to put into a plastic bag, even as strong as it might be. these are called vice bags. this is what they use to put rice and things when they ship it. this is something where i take my glass, i can take broken pieces of wood, i can take anything sharp and fill it. and it's not going to puncture and come out. it's not going to fall all over the floor. i've not going to have it sticking out, maybe scratch myself, cut myself or anything like that. these are a great thing to have. >> you have a little go-to box for emergencies. that's great. thanks very much for joining us, ben. it's really been interesting. and i want to thank you all for joining us here at the spur urban center. and we'll see you again
