6:30 pm
comes at the fault of the project sponsor so i hope you don't continue it until april 10th. on the topic of the project itself thank you commissioner moore you read about this i brought it up in 3 kogsz to staff i said there was no scale how could we review this. i was made to feel like an idiot thank you commissioner moore >> thank you further public comment. >> yeah.. this dr has been on schedule and conditioned to march 27 i received a request for continuation for those materials i wasn't able to get and via
6:31 pm
stuff i received a call yesterday at the 11 o'clock to provide the information of harrowed copy. if we're unable to discuss this this will be continued for another month the requester is not available on the tenth and there's no vacate for the next of you weeks this is more than one hundred and 80 died since the requester has filled the request. i don't know what to do but if at all possible please review this. thank you for your time. is there any additional public comment seeing none, public comment is closed. can i ask staff whether the
6:32 pm
requirements for drawings were sent out initially to the project sponsor it's surprisingly to here they were not requested >> you received the full set of plans with the original packet open the original date. i believe one of the commissioners asked for additional floor plans so the revised plans has the revised editions >> commissioner moore. >> i wanted to correct i asked for dynamics for the joining building. while there were particular dynamics mentioned it was in the overall context to understand the buildings in order to be
6:33 pm
fair to the dr or the architect is he here bay? i believe that was a fair and reasonable request for this commission i've made this before. you've done a number of sets of building that has been in front of this commission that's clear and basically for any architect particularly as you moved we're not requesting the dbi drawings this is the disclosure when you look at any other things you can see what we're expecting and i think staff has upheld it. it is ultimately in the electronic transfer yesterday which tips it over the scale i will hover when i opened them i realized i can't print them
6:34 pm
their 11 by 17 and i couldn't see a site plan so the real issue the meat of the dr is on the adjacent property to understand in the context and that drawings wasn't included. having said that there's a lot of material handed to us today and i believe there was enough notice for the architect and i don't think the plan has changed to add the requirements and then to hear recall fully so in support of the department the architect expects the department a print them and messenger them to us is too much. i ask we treat outline architects and applicants in front of us equally and 89.9 percent economy and in this
6:35 pm
particular case it's not okay. i would like to look at it >> commissioner antonini. >> i could be in support of this it's a complicated site. we need to look at it with all the ramifications of how it has to be there's complicated issues of the rear yard and other issues but it would be a good addition i'll be supportive of that maybe, sir maybe you can tell us about calendar. the dr requester didn't want it to be on the tenth but are reokay. on is 17th >> that's the unfortunate matters commissioner antonini april 10th would have been previous the calendar is light
6:36 pm
but tenth is cancelled because of holiday. april 1st i - may first, i closed this morning there were 7 retail formula scalding asked to calendar if you want to continue it to may 1st, you maine 8 is not likely either. this morning i closed may first, because of the edition of the formula recital. so it's one big formula recital >> we'll ask the commission to consider those. >> you have the formula retail excuse me. that's been continued but the housing and the district discussions on both
6:37 pm
of those dates. >> ms. gallagher do you want to comment on the date. >> i wanted to emphasize and bring up an alternated if you want to hear the merits the meats of the policy issues today and do a final action at a future time when everybody is present? no >> i appreciate that our challenge is the request from commissioner moore is time to digest of the materials that were handed to us today so we won't be able to have a full public hearing today. >> i'll be supportive at this time if things get too busy we can continue. >> things often come off the calendar. this will not preclude the
6:38 pm
withdrawal the dr and come back to you so that does preclude the she means to >> i am one of the neighbors i want to say on may 1st, i'm not viable i want to be here there's impact to my building too. >> thank you. we'll take into account. >> to the public there's an opportunity for general public comment at the end of the commission it just happens that opportunity will come sooner you making can make public comment. >> commissioners do you hear a motion. >> i move to continue to may 1st. >> second. >> commissioners, on the motion on the motion to continue item
6:39 pm
13 to may 1st. >> commissioner antonini. commissioner borden. commissioner hillis. commissioner moore commissioner sugaya and commissioner president wu so moved, commissioners, that motion passes with commissioner commissioner hillis voting against as i talked about 1314 a on carolyn street that discretionary has been withdrawn and so at the conclusion of you're hearing the zoning administer will consider the variance so that bring you to general public comment. i i have no speaker cards. ma'am, if you wish to submit our comments now this is our opportunity >> while she's coming up are we
6:40 pm
to keep the materials. >> for 88 carolyn. >> offender for ashbury i believe you do. >> when you have been speaking sophisticating will turn on the projector. >> okay. thank you. >> hello, i'm a concerned neighbor i want to show some pictures. first, this is explaining my building is right her in the proposed project is two lots over. i'm sure you're aware of the house sits in the rear of the building. essentially my myself and other two owners in our attacking have 4 concerns about the plan the first is the proposed building is not comparable with the 0 neighborhood. as you see the building s are 3 stories at all and this is at 4
6:41 pm
stories the building covers ups 080 percent of the lot. my preliminary concern is the impact on the light into my apartment. in this 3 unit building my apartment is in the rear and the only windows that get light are the south facing windows the kitchen and bathroom currently, i get light will 4 plus hours of the day because one at the 10 arching sits at the end of the lot this is from december 21st, 2013, not a lot of bright light open for about 4 hours. what happens with the proposed study and the proposed building now you can see 2:30 there's in
6:42 pm
the morning any light to my bedroom and permeate so there's one hundred percent elimination of sunlight and skylights not help because the shadows extend up to the roof as well. the concern number 3 we have myself and unit two because his bedroom window faces south is that with the new fourth story edition there will be eye line sight solos of privacy and concern 4 essentially the topgraphy of the lot is an upward slope it impacts the loss of light and privacy from the fourth story edition.
6:43 pm
so there was essentially a neighborhood competition encompassing the cycling area that supported to downsize the scale of the project. so ultimately we are asking the planning commission to make the changes to the proposal specifically that fourth floor is the major impact of the light and privacy >> thank you, ma'am your time is up. >> thank you - commissioner sugaya. >> yeah. could you submit those to the secretary. >> any future jumping. >> since the topic of plan came up i want to talk about a general issue i represent the sponsors and neighborhoods. i applaud you for asking for
6:44 pm
better plans you need plans to make decisions but what's happening is there's a greater difference between the plans. the neighborhoods get a 311 set of plans this is what you get this was a plan recently on a 311 it lacked reconcile any sexual zero squall. it lacked every indictment is was wrong in the elevation. i raised the issues it didn't follow the departments implicitly did a 311 really occur here if none of the qualifications for this plan occurred. i asked again and again please send this is what they sent the same thing with the small-scale and the plan yes, it's on 11 by
6:45 pm
171 but tiny tiny thing with no indemnities you should see where the developers are doing when not asked >> thank you. >> i'd like to comment about a few of the things 3 that ms. gallagher brought up. i think it's important to have a standardized format that is being asked from the project sponsor to provide to the city. whatever is going out should be standard did i see to reduce the confusion. i was surprised to be given 36 hours to turn it around if we have this type of
6:46 pm
standardization all the information will be provided to the commission and no last minute continuance of plans. the other thing i want to address is the shadow study i met with the neighbor two door downstairs we went through the every most of the year hour by hour i spent two hours reviewing that and we've come to the conclusion there's two hours out of the year for a person - i still have is a minute and 45 minutes i can speak paralyzing i met with her and we discussed this in detail the result was a total an hour and a half two most out of the year i provided shadow studies i'll condition to provide shadow studies asia look
6:47 pm
forward to presenting my case >> any future general public comment. >> i'm sorry. >> because of the outburst that came out of the audience this is has been continued off the calendar so this is just an opportunity just as the woman who submitted her comments and i'm the architect i live in the ashbury and am glad commissioner moore recognized my face i try to make the projects compatible very briefly we're happy to provide the information several we'll make sure that gets done and work with the planning and my apologizes not having done
6:48 pm
that already. >> go ahead. >> thank you commissioner borden. >> so i know we've discussed the matters i've been talking to the commissioner we had new guidelines in our rolls for submission i want to whether understand who those met the guidelines if not do we need to update the guidelines. >> for the benefit of the commission those guidelines are obey upgrade and considered by design team. using this case ann as an example the teams have been ri78d the need diligence in reviewing the plans but even more so when a building application t iss circulated >> so the question is the
6:49 pm
guidelines have not been implemented to the project sponsor wouldn't have got those. >> those have not been formally added, however, the guidelines indicate the indemnities. >> so in the future if we don't have the time then let the project sponsor know. >> well quite honestly the issue shouldn't be calendar before. >> commissioner moore. >> i like the staff to say there's not extraordinary i asked about consistentlycy within the planning department procedure matters not a
6:50 pm
difficult thing to do about indemnities and this is what the commission looked like comparing the right of an applicant and the full right of somebody who has a grievance and the fox has to be crystal clear without boys to start with and take the argument and develop an understanding of who there's a rightful complaint are the dr is completely in compliance. it didn't take an einstein >> their met in a sense but not
6:51 pm
before. >> with that public comment is closed and the meeting is >> hi, in san francisco we're doing a special series called stay safe, about staying in your home after an earthquake. and today we're going to be talking about the neighborhood support center to help people find new resources when they stay in their home. ♪ ♪ >> we're here at the urban center in san francisco with
6:52 pm
sarah karlewski, deputy director of spur. we're talking about the shelter, a safe place to stay, exhibition at their center. and part of being able to shelter in place in your home is to be able to find a place nearby where you can get the services that you might not have in your home. and that's what this little neighborhood support center is for. >> that's right. >> what are some of the services that might be provided in a neighborhood center like this? >> yeah. so, we think of the neighborhood support centers as really being homes away from home. so, after a major earthquake there is going to be a lot of confusion. people are going to need to try to meet up with other people. they're going to need a lot of information. so, a lot of what the neighborhood support center is going to provide is that information. basically we're going to be like a hub where people can come to get services, help, information, et cetera. what you see here on this table are a whole variety of did you ever rent things from tools,
6:53 pm
some walki-talkies. this helps people know what is going on in their neighborhood. over here you have a whole variety of water and canned goods. we're really hoping that people will stock up for themselves at least for the first 72 hours if not more. i know that i have a ton of canned food and other sorts of things such as water within my own home. and everybody should, but there's going to come a time where people are going to end up running out and needing more. so, that's what we've got right here. >> so, this neighborhood support center, this doesn't look to be a major city sponsored fully stocked space. it can be a small commercial space, even somebody's garage as long as they have the information, a guide of information, who to call for what, communications equipment, some power, have a generator. >> that's right.
6:54 pm
>> thinking of lights and charge your cell phones and so on. and probably be operated by volunteers. >> volunteers, maybe members of nert could help out, people who live in the neighborhood that have some building skill could be helpful. so, if there is a structural engineer living nearby or even an architect, they could really help people kind of understand what has happened to their homes and what sort of repairs might be needed. >> here we are with some of the things that you might find in a neighborhood support center. one thing we learned from hurricane katrina, people really rely on their portable electronics and their phone. we say here's a charging station tied up to the generation. the essential coffeepot. >> yes. >> maybe a computer, you can check your e-mail with. >> yes. we have our charging station here. and then over here you can see we've got a whole variety of things, including the all-important different tags.
6:55 pm
so, lawrence, do you want to talk a little about the tags? >> sure. people want to know what do these tags mean. is my building safe or unsafe. these are the city owe initial tags. staying in your home doesn't require that you get a tag. it just means that you use common sense and maybe get help from people who might be around who can help you evaluate whether it's a safe place to stay. >> you might want to know because regular city services are disrupted, you might want to know when trash pick up is, if you need to get clean water, et cetera. also in the neighborhood support center, that kind of information would be available and we've got a little of that up here. >> trash pick up resumes regular schedule on wednesday. >> that's right. >> please mark your human waste. >> that's right. >> so, this is kind of an information center, communication center, also a center that hopefully will show people how to relate to their neighboring communities, what else is happening city-wide. and, of course, this is sort of
6:56 pm
the ubiquitous form of communication. my cat is missing, call me. >> exactly, because a lot of times, even if you do have a cell phone, and people do if you're really trying to save some of your precious energy minutes, et cetera, or it's not working as well as it normally does, it is helpful to have a message board that you can get information to other people. and, so, that's what we're showing here. you can see people are going to be looking for their pets. they're going to be looking for rides. people are going to need to be sharing resources a much as they possibly can. another thing that you can see here is they're going to need to be fair tools and some of the things that people are going to need in order to be able to stay safer within their homes. so, we're just showing sort of a gesture to that with all these different tools here. but then also tarps, people are going to need to cover their windows if their windows are cracked, if their roofs are broken.
6:57 pm
so, ideally, the city would be able to know where all these neighborhood centers are and help deliver some of these supplies. >> they could come from a neighbor, maybe not. thank you so much for allowing us to come in and share this wonderful exhibit. and thank you for >> san francisco parks, golden gate park transforms into one of the greatest music festivals of all time, let's journey, inside, outside land. ♪ >> to this, our 6th year doing the outside lands and our relationship with san francisco, rec and park.
6:58 pm
and we work very closely with them in the planning and working very closely with the neighborhood organizations and with the city supervisors and with the city organizations and with the local police department, and i think that the outside lands is one of the unique festivals in the world and we have san francisco and we have golden gate park and we have the greatest oasis, in the world. and it has the people hiking up hills and down hills and a lot of people between stages. >> i love that it is all outside, the fresh air is great. >> they have the providers out here that are 72 local restaurants out here. >> celebrating, and that is really hot. >> 36 local winerries in
6:59 pm
northern california and 16 brewers out here. >> and you have seen a lot of people out here having a good time and we have no idea, how much work and planning has gone into this to make it the most sustainable festival in the united states. >> and literally, in the force, and yeah, unlike any other concept. and come and follow, and the field make-up the blueprint of the outside land here in golden gate park and in the future events and please visit sffresh parks.org. allegiance?
7:00 pm
