former manager of cafe revolution and she said that the current management has been having the trouble staffing and there is no security on site and there is more of a crowding and there was a door left open and so keep an eye on them and we will see if we can't bring them into compliance. red jack saloon and we received a complaint about them and they were not permitted by the entertainment commission and i sent that over to the police department alcohol liaison unit and we do have an interesting new complaint for the procidio theater about a religious event that takes place on sunday mornings and so i will be going out this sunday to take a look at that and take a listen to that right before i check out the haight street fair. i think that just about wraps it up, any questions? >> are there any or comments or

questions from the commissioners? >> yeah. okay. great. i do have just two more items. overlooked here. conya on florida, 500 and florida and the mission had their first event for the carnival. i was there the majority of sunday patrolling the mission. and there were a couple of moments as carnival let out where they were having the trouble managing the crowds that were coming in from carnival and mixing with their folks and we did work on the sound quite a bit that day trying to control multiple djs and a live band. and from what i can see, they are very motivated to try to keep those levels within reason, and also motivated and invest gating some solutions

for controlling those elements and getting out of the building. and in this past saturday, after a few weeks of very calm broad way corridor, there was a scuffle at closing for atmosphere. and some patrons that were leaving, after they exited, and officers were involved and no violence necessarily. but, there were some folks that were hollering and screaming on the way out of the atmosphere. and after a few weeks in a row of a very calm broadway corridor and so i just wanted to provide that update. >> okay. are there any comments from the commissioners after those two added? >> no. is there any public comment on the director's report? >> seeing none, public comment is closed and we are moving on to the police department comments and questions.

do we have... we have no police report tonight? >> what happens to steve? >> he is out there. >> all right. >> okay. >> i feel a little neglected up here. but is there any comment on no police reports? >> all right. >> number five, and now we move to the hearings and possible actions regarding applicants for permits under jurisdiction of the entertainment commission. >> before i even get into this, i want to just make sure that if anyone is here for item f or f, for the village or for item g, which is omg, those three item haves been continued and i don't want to waste anyone's time. so, we do have a consent calendar and there is one item

that has been continued from the consent calendar and that would be ec1248 kc sheridan. >> and we need a vote to have that withdrawn. >> do i have a motion to withdraw that from the consent calendar? >> i move to withdraw, item b, wix.com. >> i will second. >> and okay, on that motion, commissioner perez. >> aye. >> akers. >> aye. >> joseph. >> aye. >> lee. >> aye. >> campagnoli. >> aye. >> and hyde. >> aye. >> so moved. >> so now, on the balance of the consent calendar, we need a motion to... >> do we have a motion to agree to the consent calendar? >> i make a motion that we approve the consent calendar. >> did that come through? >> yeah. >> i will second that. >> okay.

so for the balance of the consent calendar, commissioner perez. >> aye. >> akers. >> aye. >> joseph. >> aye. >> lee. >> aye. >> campagnoli. >> aye. >> vice president hyde. >> aye. >> okay. >> do we take public comment on that? the consent calendar? >> is there any public comment on the consent calendar? >> seeing none, >> okay, we might have done that backwards. >> yeah. that is fine >> okay >> taken quair care of now. >> i did want to mention that we had so many things withdrawn is that we are having issues with the planning department where we used to have a two to three day turn around on the referrals it is taking up to 30 days and we are work og working on that right now and so a couple of these that we need to continue are because we had issued with the planning department. and so, for the next item, this would be for andy chun doing

business as schroeders located at 240 front street and applied for a place of entertainment founded in 1893, a long history of good beer and polka music and so andrew chun and wigginton have taken it over and revitalized it and so that triggered a need of a new place of entertainment permit and we can bring up andy chun to talk more about it. >> i have never been to one so forgive me if i don't answer the relevant questions in whatever that you may have. we recently took it over and the business has been around since 1893 and opened the doors on may if i have and this we are hitting the fifth week of operation right now. and i think that the reception has been overwhelmingly positive so far. and you know, it is a big place, with a lot of history and a lot of expectations we

are part of the historic registry of the map that you pushed along and our goal is to create a business that can last another 150 years and we want to connect to the past and one of the things that the people have responded to and asked about the polka and this is part of october fest as well and we have actually designed all of the furniture to be able to roll away so that we can have the proper polka space and you know we are just asking for the support of the entertainment commission to allow us to continue this tradition. we have reached out for the few neighbors that we have, we have comments from the gm, and the tower and i think that the comment was who is against polka but we don't have any residential towers and we just have the comments from the existing neighbors given that we are located in the financial district. if you have any questions, let me know. >> are there any questions from

the commission? >> just do you dance the polka? >> not well. >> that is all, that was my question. >> occupational hazard. >> you will have to learn for sure. >> okay. >> hi, could you talk to us about your community out reach. >> sure. as i mentioned before, we reached out to what we felt was the closest residential tower and then we contacted the businesses next door to us, and there is another building one maritime, is putting in the newsletter to allow her residents to know and the local businesses is the wall green manager next door and sandy porter above us and edward king, at 6 spoke media, and then our media michael brian at the rail exchange for the entertainment commission as well because of the saint patrick's day celebration that he puts together and we participate with him as well.

so, you know, as much as we have residential and commercial neighbors we have tried to go out and talk to them about what we are doing and i think that more than anything else. people want the polka. >> do you happen to have any documentation to show that. >>dy not bring them. but if the commission wants to see them, i am happy to send along the e-mails and things. >> yes, i think that would be a good idea just to send them along so that we have proof that would be great. >> is there any other questions? >> and i am excited to see a proper polka space. i have only been to the improper ones that my parents had in the backyard during october fest. >> yeah. >> so do you have a sound system installing for these bands? >> we have those, just the normal house system that we have right now. there is an old system left over from what they had before, but i think that we are just going to be relying on the

bands and the pa systems that normally travel with. and so, the answer is, we have something that i don't know how well it works. and we were going to cross that bridge when we got there. >> okay. >> so, how would you set sound levels then? how would you know? >> it is a good question. so with our own sound system, you know that exists right now. i think that it will probably be adequate and we can set up a wireless mic and so that is plan a, and plan b, if we need additional we have the house speakers that we had before and which i assume will be okay for the commission guidelines and it has been in use for 20 or 30 years, and beyond that, we don't have a tremendous need for amplification, and i think that most of these instruments probably would not need amplification and it would just be the singers and we have no neighbors. after 7:00 p.m., or of 6:30 p.m. and that is the other good thing about what we are doing. >> do you have a phone just in

case at the place where people could call at any time to say, there is an issue? >> absolutely. >> i just want you to know that the conditions of your permit mean that you have to get a sound test before it can be finalized. so you are going to have to do something with your sound so that inspector burke here can do a sound test for you. >> yes. >> before you get an official stamp and of approval permit >> that seems pretty reasonable. >> okay. >> i got one more. commissioner lee? >> will you have a door man in case you can keep the door shut? >> yeah, i think that is... and it is prudent, especially around october fest and so we will contract with an outdoor security and a bonded firm to provide that person and that ends up being part of our conditions and that seems pretty reasonable to me. >> it seems like you are going to do it whenever you feel, it is not going to be a routine,

polka band every week? >> i think that it is, you know, definitely during the october fest we would love to do it once a month on our saturdays. but we are pretty busy monday through friday and the saturday business downtown is where it makes the most sense and the people to kickback and it is the financial district and it is not too crowded that is the time that we want to promote the polka. >> the rest of the year it is a restaurant. >> yeah, >> you dance the polka. >> i haven't. there are not many polka bands out there and i think that i can do it every saturday if i tried, i think that it is more of a monthly thing. >> you know, you could do other things besides polka. >> yeah, it just has to sort of work within the cob context of a german restaurant. >> all right. thank you. >> thanks. >> is there anyone from central station that would like to make

comments at this time? >> oh, is it central or southern? >> central. did i say the right one? >> how about that? >> you did good. >> steven from the central station, and does the commission have a copy of the proposed conditions for it? and do you have any questions for me, or for me regarding it? >> all right, thank you. >> okay. >> it is so easy. >> and so now this is open for public comment, does anyone have public comment on shroeder's application? >> all right, seeing none, public comment is closed. the matter is with the commission. >> i'm happy to move to approve this permit. >> i will second. >> with the police conditions. >> yeah. >> i will second it with the police conditions. >> okay, on the motion to approve with the police conditions, commissioner perez. >> aye. >> akers. >> aye. commissioner joseph.

>> aye. >> lee. >> yes. >> commissioner campagnoli? >> aye. >> and hide. >> aye. >> so moved. >> all right. okay. okay, so the next one would be for topsy and this is anzhelika bisesi doing business as topsy and they have taken over the odd, and the clown teamed bar downtown and they would like to have entertainment mostly along the lines of djs. >> hello, everybody, my name is anzhelika and me and my partner have bought oslaunch and now it is called topsy's and we opened in march and before that we did, nice renovation, which has a clown theme and fun house

theme. and the previous owner had the entertainment license and it has been pretty good and the people in the neighborhood really liked it. so we would love to do the same. we are looking monthly for small bands and djs which will play lounge atmosphere music and not crazy, because the space itself is already pretty small, so it is something that would be nice and relaxing and people can enjoy cocktail while they listen to music. i have got some conditions from police officer. and we are going to meet all of them and we already installed the security cameras. inside and outside. and we will also working with the security company, the same company that we are using for the play land. and we have me or manager every day at the place and so it is

always somebody, we will have a phone so if somebody wants to call in. and so basically, if all of the conditions to where we are meeting, and it just looking for gaining entertainment license. >> any questions? >> yeah, are there any questions? >> we did out reach. and he helped us with that. >> steve and i did the out reach and it was rather extensive considering it is the financial district and hard to do the out reach there. the chamber of commerce is a big help because they are only a couple of blocks away and we offered all of the folks that we reached out to a presentation, and only a couple of them wanted some answers to some questions before they would decide whether or not they wanted a physical presentation and that was the chamber of commerce and the san francisco council of district merchants association. and they basically both wanted to know whether or not topsy

was going to be using a promoter and if so, what kind of events they would be promoting and when the answer came back no they declined the offer for a presentation and we reached out for the association and the district merchant's association, and the chamber of commerce and the immediate neighbors there were 300 kearny that is the financial district, fine wines, and he wanted to be here this evening but could not get away from the business to support this application and of course we went to supervisor chiu's office regarding the out reach and we reached out and informed the central station, of this application, and sf pd liaison unit. >> great. >> thank you. >> and are there any questions from the commission? >> >> i have one, i don't have the... do you have the out reach in your packet? >> we do... >> there is a list.

>> i didn't see it. any other questions, comments? >> i have a question. >> when you made your presentation for your community out reach, how did that entail, did you make a printtation or talk to them about the type of entertainment that you were going to do. as i mentioned before we sent the e-mail notification to the list that were provided by the chamber of commerce as well as supervisor chiu's office offering a presentation at the meetings and only two were thinking of whether or not they wanted a presentation, but then declined the offer after they got the answers to the questions that they asked. and so, that is how we did the out reach. we did physical out reach to the immediate neighbors, by that i mean that we went door-to-door and spoke to the various merchants and so forth and most of them thought that this was nothing new to them and they said that there is an entertainment permit there before and we are not interested and the only person that was interested is the financial district, the fine wines who was excited about

something coming back in there and he said that it will be good for his business as well. >> any other questions? >> all right, thank you. >> would the police like to come up and address this application? >> so, steve from the central station. and the applicant said that this used to be oz and they did have an entertainment permit and we had a minimal amount of calls for service there and there were not any issues and i did come up with eight proposed conditions that we would like the commission to take a look at. and there is some of them are similar to shroeders although there was an extra one, and that was regarding number eight and that is the security that the vehicles do not cause a safety hazard by double parking in a lane of traffic on kearny

at that point you have multiple lanes that are going northbound and we do not want anyone double parking and getting rear ended and so we want to be sure that the security take an active part so that they move over so that there are not any car accidents out in front. >> and any questions for the officer? >> no, okay, thank you. >> is there any public comment on this application? >> all right, seeing none, public comment is closed. and the matter is with the commission. >> a like to approve this application. >> i second. >> with the conditions? >> with the condition of the police. >> okay. >> on the motion to approve this permit with the police conditions same house same call? >> yes. >> okay. >> the motion passes. >> okay, so the next one i

mentioned that we had a few that are going to be continued, this is for the village located at 969 market street. we received an e-mail today from the applicant requesting that it be postponed to june 17th and mr. renne is here to talk more about it. >> vice president hyde, and commissioners, mark renne for 969 market street, the village, and this is the old pearl paint store on market street near mason and it is going to be an 800 person corporate event facility. and the applicant is or has a company called drums studio and it does huge projection art events to people like facebook, twitter, google, and some of the usual suspects not on market street and they have not applied yet for a liquor license and we have a meeting with the captain of southern,

and captain redmon on thursday and we reached out to sunny over at supervisor kim's office and hope to have her over there also, and we would like to continue it for two weeks only so that we could get the police to weigh in on the permit conditions. >> thank you. >> anyone have any? and is there any public comment on that? >> seeing none, the matter is with the commission, and we need a motion to continue. >> i make a motion to continue this to june 17th. >> i second. >> on the motion to continue, until june 17th, the same house and same call? >> okay. >> continued. >> all right, so this next one is another one that is continued. although, we had submitted application over a month ago, we found out today that this particular location at 43, 6th street, club omg will need a

conditional use permit approval in order to get their extended hours premiseses permit. and so they are going to hold off for now and i guess that we need a motion to continue this one as well. until after they get to the conditional use process. >> i motion to continue. >> i will second that. >> and same house, same call? >> yes. >> all right. >> is there any public comment on that? >> i know it just went, and i just let it go. i am sorry. >> okay. all right, so now and the last one is for today is jordan langer doing business as pier 70 located at 420, 22nd street and they have applied for a place of entertainment permit and this is the old pier 70 and they have hosted a couple of events there over the last several months and ghost ship was there at halloween and as well as farmer's markets and other events and mr. langer

intends to run it as an event space and a nightclub and they applied for a extended hours and after working with the police department they decided to go with the place of entertainment and pursue that after they had a chance to prove themselves and you should have an additional packet in your folder that jordan has prepared for you all and here he is. >> good evening, commissioners thank you so much for having me. or us, rather. i have some additional letters of support that we went around and got earlier today from literally all of our local neighbors on illinois and third street, and so i could pass these out as well and it would be great. thank you >> and as well as anyone wants to look and we have just about 250 signatures from the local neighbors, and in support of what we are trying to do out of pier 70 and to give you a little bit of background, it was an old ship building plant.

thank you. >> and it was built and, if i forget some of this, ally from forest city is here to help to facility and answer the long term questions if that is necessary. and so, 1941, pier 70 was built and it was a ship building plant for the u.s. navy and after that it turned and there were a couple of uses in between and then, it turned into auto return, and auto return, then was asked to leave, or left, and it sat empty for a long time and it wanted to turn it into parking or something along those lines and i don't know if the commissioners have been there but it is an absolutely incredible space. and we went to the port, along with the help of forest city and i pleaded and screamed and held our breath to ask to be able to utilize this space as a interim event space until the

building process and the redeveloping process begins, which could be three years, it could be five years, it could be ten years, we know how the building process takes in san francisco. and so, with the approval of the port, and from the approval from forest city as well, we had the ability to start doing some events out there. and over the past two months, or so, we have done a few events, one being the baby pop up market which is a series of pop up markets for the bay view, which is every thursday night. and it is a very small gathering, under 250 people. and of local merchants and organizations that come in and sell their wares as kenny mentioned we did ghost ship out there last year, and it is a very large very highly produced event. and we had just around 5,000 people out there. a little bit under. and it went off perfectly. and there were no issues from what i know there was no sound complaints or any concerns like

that. and i walk you through the pamphlet that i gave you here, a little bit if you don't mind. the first page is all of the neighborhood out reach that we have done we have gone to literally every neighborhood organization in the surrounding area, and either presented or have been there answer questions and concerns and alleviate the concerns that folks may have with what we are trying to do. >> we held two events at pier 70 along with the pop up markets that we do to answer questions and to be specifically be there to help people walk through the space and kind of get a really, amazing view of the bay area, and on the other side of the bay. and at the bottom of that sheet, you can also see the e-mails and the calls that we have placed to the local organizations. and to go to the next page, you will see, a number of pages both front and back letters of support from local residents,

and ranging from supervisor cohen to maxwell and to the local neighbors and the indian based association and protero, hill and the dog patch association and we did not get the letters from the boosters or the dog patch neighborhood association, but they did not have any concerns. i presented at both of their meetings and they were excited about what we have going down at pier 70. and to continue to kind of stroll through we have a event program and every event that we book is going to be required to accept a certain level of community benefit. and if it is something like the baby pop up market, i view that as a community benefit event and so they are not required to do an additional community benefit because it is beneficial at the beginning and if you are looking at bringing in a ghost ship or a twitter or microsoft or something along those lines, we are mandating and it is contracted and it is

written into their contract, that they have to abide by or produce a certain number of these community benefits and so let's take the example, google, if they are coming in and doing an event with us at pier 70, they are going to be required, and let's say that it is 2,000 people and they are required to do four different community benefit out reach programs and those can range from something as simple as chartering a bus and going to a local elementary school and grabbing a group of kids and bringing them down on their offices for the day and to show that this is the google headquarters and when you search something this is where it all happens and to making a donation to a local community, and a charity and something along those lines and what i am trying to get away from is just the big companies writing a check because that is generally what they are good at doing and so we are going to try to get the engagement from them rather than just writing a check and even though that is good and well and fun for them we are trying to have the companies and the organizations that we

book in, being engaged in the community and the neighborhood. there is a program that we have pioneered or are moving forward with, and which is an auto shop program for at risk youth. and it is a program that i am currently looking for space out in the bay view, and pier 70 partners is committed to fund that and to make it happen in conjunction with the other partners that we have come ng to do the events, and an actual example of that is that we have an auto show, booked in july, and the auto show is hosting a fund-raiser and they are donating the motorcycle and the car and all of the money that is being raised from that raffle and that fund-raiser is being put towards project reckless is the name of it. and that will help fund the rent and the tools, and all of this, this, fantastic capacity to the development program that we are really looking at starting in the bay view and going city wide with hopefully. you can get in more detail and we have the local economic
