do games this goes back to the day with arcadia games led to no good behavior or something like that. we know there's a lot of great businesses that can use arcadia in creative ways. so the plod code section allows the board of supervisors to eliminate that square footage limitation. and this this elective would do that with the neighborhood commercial district. so that will allow those businesses to install up to 10 arcadia games. the reason it can only gossip to 10 there's a different police section and other sections saying the arresting can do took place concern sections those are

limit the number of arresting can do games citywide to 10. this will not impact that limit. i know that as supervisor breed's aid will mention we're working on legislation to deal with that so i want to bring up mr. johnson from supervisor breed's office to add >> thank you chair wiener. i'm with the supervisor breed's office. i want to reiterate what the chairman said. the fundamental problem is the police code treats the arresting cads amazement as slot machines like in the 1930s. so supervisor breed is work with supervisor scott wiener and the police department working on the interim would ask for you to exempt one business in district 5 and okay. if there's no

questions or comments we'll move to. i will say for the record i'll be offering a small amendment to item 3 specifically on the first page line 24 it currently states are more than 10 music sxiez with up to that's a draft error in the resolution. any public comment on item 3 >> please fix this item the only game in town. in the city we're going to change fix the the only game in town game. wouldn't you wouldn't you. fix the game in the city in the arcadia in the game ambassador fix the the only game in town game. and in the item it's like a city at play on a sunny day we're going to come out out okay.

it's the game, game, game and that is for the item plays a mean pinball. thank you >> thank you. any any public comment on that item? on item 3 seeing none, public comment is closed. supervisor kim >> thank you and i apologize mr. george but i have a quick question by the way, i support in legislation i want to know why you exempt 16 something walling in her exempting you were market transit district is there a reason not to go through an area plan. >> thank you sxrifr you're our office and supervisor wiener are working on a broader version in the interim we feel it will

provide another exempt for the outreach. >> so in the long-term you're looking at a broader version. >> yeah, we'll be working with the planning code and police code. >> i understand we need to move forward with this. >> he ultimate amendment will allow for more than 10 arcadia games as opposed to the current law restriction to 10. >> so colleagues the minor amendments can we have a motion to adapt that amendment. okay we'll take that without objection. the amendment is adapted and could i have a motion to forward to the full board with as a committee report

i moved here in 1990 and he i've really enjoyed hunting ton park it's a beautiful open space and preefth to have that and support the playground renovation but i'm strongly opposed to putting a fence around the park and have a number of reasons so hopefully, the amendment will be >> adapted. >> adapted without the fence portion. so i'm assuming that is the thing and move this afternoon so i look forward to no fence around huntington park >> supervisor cowen has a - you mentioned you have many reasons against the fence state some. >> it would retain the

aesthetics of the park it's welcoming and very relaxing for people who live in the city to have the open space. a if he has around it will put up a huge visible barrier and say this is not a welcoming space the second reason it's not a historic part of the park for get 9 years it's not had a fence and not part of the original o original part. third not helping safety but putting up a visible barrier so people can't see what what's in the park so if someone wants to do ill will to someone in the park my daughter hangs out there a lot and i don't want her to

get trapped inside. if you put up a fence there are concern exits are you have to escape through >> thank you very much. next speaker. mr. o'grady. >> thank you xhifrz the ceo of the parks alliance. as you know every come up of years the parks alliance prudent persons our report we analyze the physical condition of every playground in the city and in 2012, the huntington park was raid a failing playground. the community has, however, since radical with the park alliance under the knob hill foundation. they've been working with a couple of years to raise the private few minutes for the playgrounds and continue to

craft library project is tense is negotiates if the fence run states that vail that crown, if you will, it will do a great service to defining the park making it safer and giving dogs a place to be that's contained. you don't want to make everyone who has an animal and the animal wants to be there with other but allowing those corners to be fenced-in that's a semiidea and benefits the knob hill idea i'm an expert in ashth architecture and something of that quality should be reinstated >> thank you very much. next speaker.

>> hello good afternoon. i'm israel hernandez i live in knob hill i moved there 5 years ago. it's a beautiful are part of the city i'm here to support about dynamics of the fence i joined the knob hill association because i wanted younger professionals to get more involved in the neighborhood and bring a sense for all different ages. i love the fact the community has been getting donations from private folks and it's great to see a playground for children i love the dynamics of this fence there's a lot of misinformation about the fence you can see there the event it's not at all and it's historical to a city it treasures the historical.

and so i want to a lend my support happy to answer any questions >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> thank you supervisor wiener. i'm stan i'm a knob hill resident and also a corporate secretary of the knob hill foundation and serve on the board of grand mercy and treasurer of the grand hill that was involved in the long term planning we've put in to develop this plan. i want to offer a few perspectives one issue it clearly favors the renovation of the playground. when it get to the fence i'll ask all of us to consider the context. when 3 years ago we took upon ourselves to renovate the park we realized it needed so many

needs physical needs in terms of irrigation. there so many people that the park serves the park with dogs and people who don't want dogs and children who need a secure place and it become evident in this context the fence was necessary not because it's historic it's nice it's historic it fits in and shouldn't offered the and i athletics like a chain link fence. the fence is a key to many issues as we about get around to the issues i ask those who oppose it but with the constructive voice to accommodate all the people who have a need for the park thank

you, thank you very much >> next speaker. >> hello supervisors i'm robert pr i'm a resident of knob hill. a member of the knob hill association was one of the founders of the knob hill coalitions. i want to speak to a particular issue that's the playground up there. i represent a company which designs builds and installs playground equipment has nothing to do with knob hill i also have been personally in favor the designing planning and installing a children's playground. i know that our present playground up there is unsafe it doesn't meet contemporary safety standards in terms of the equipment and the under foundation the sooner we can bring that up to snuff the less

nerve i'll be sitting in the park watching the kids run and jump. thank you. i'm in favor of this proposition >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> you're going to be a special city and a very exciting district. you're going to be a special city because you're going to be sitting on top of the world. sitting on top of the world. somehow, i knew that would be you supervisor chiu to change our gray skies to blue and it was strange when this item came i knew it would bring about a better change before you met this item i said to shine. then the foundation gave it gave it a dime. go ahead and right now and may

it make the playground shine. good morning to be a special city and a very exciting district because euro going to be sitting on top of the world and make it a happy playground world. >> thank you. next speaker. >> hi i'm james i wanted to say that my daughter has played in this park most of the life and my dog most of his life and the park is great the way it is it feels open and welcome to people of diversities the fence will make it a less a place for people to meet and look like a gated community or a private park and less people are going

to go there it will change the feel of the neighborhood and that will be offensive. >> any public comment on that item? on item 2. if so, please come forward >> good afternoon. supervisors. i'm chris harris i'm a neighbor in knob hill from the park and i have lived there 20 years. first of all, i'm concerned about the amendment to the resolution it is possible to hear that i can't comment without hearing that >> supervisor chiu. >> it's what you and i have discussed about making sure this resolution will be amend only for the playground portion. >> only the playground all

right. that's what we discussed. i appreciate that >> i wanted to say quickly that we've been meeting with supervisor chiu which we really appreciated in recent weeks. and we do support the playground renovation as well as the dog owners but there's been a strong opposition to the fence. and it turns out that not many people in the neighborhood knew about the fence and there was something in the the magazine called knob hill. of course, a lot of people didn't see it but i've been talking with my neighbors and asking if they heard about it first of all, it's shocking and then the complete disapproval the b.j. market on the corner of taylor he said i've owned this

place for 45 years and historically it's been inaccurate so it would be sdaij the park it went around a mansion there before. so, yeah it costs a lot of money a million dollars for a fence we can do a lot more for the community. i appreciate your time >> thank you very much is there any additional public comment on item two. >> i'm greg thank you for allowing me to speak here today. i'm the chairman of the knob hill association. we're very honored to be able to present the playground project to the city of san francisco we

hope you'll accept it to a gift of the citizens we're honored to be working with all the community on the fence project and on we're looking forward to additional community discussion around the project as well as other prongs we would like to side moved including bringing more community harmony with off lease pet play areas in the park. and that's all i have to say thank you very much >> thank you very much is there any additional public comment on item 2? seeing none, public comment is closed. president chiu >> thank you all the members who came out i want to apologize more o for not being here i understood that was going to be closer to
