>> it's mined that the post was not on site to clarify the process that the department provides the project sponsor with the physical poster and they're required to put it on site and you give us american people affidavit and we provided the poster but not places on site there was a mail notice but not posted physically on site. well, that being the case it seems like we can only regretfully continue this to the august. you have the ability to take testimony >> that's maybe a good suggestion to let the people talk about this but not make a decision. on item 14.
12:31 pm
are 490 van ness i was at the community meeting there were many people in support a few people in opposition but it generally seemed to be well presented and had a right to building that people in the neighborhood were not aware of the item with that said, supervisor campos has granted those who question the more time to meet with the sponsors or sponsors but i believe the project sponsor and the sprafrz have a meeting scheduled for july 15th so i don't see why the continuance should be longer august 7th if there's a problem with that date it can be continued to a later date but if we can get it moving forward yes
12:32 pm
did you want to respond >> i believe it was august 14th and but mr. lessor preferred the 7. >> we haven't talked about that day not that i know of. >> yesterday when we spoke we heard that the supervisors office agreed to the 14 of judgemental. >> we had to come up with another date; is that correct the 31st. >> yes. july 31st is cancelled. >> so we had to move that meeting we're willing to go to the 14 very understand it's a full agenda, of course, our preference is for the 14 that's what they would like.
12:33 pm
>> so apparently everyone is in in favor of the 14 so i'll be in favor. we have a lot other comments i'll wait until the other supervisors comment >> commissioner borden. >> obviously everyone is in agreement on item 2 but item 4 - on the liberty street no one talked about but i wasn't sure what happened and he in terms of duncan street just to make a not to the public there's two commissioners not here actually 3 i'm going off the commission and two other commissioners are absent so if we take testimony you'll have a subtle different commission on whatever the dates are and none of that can factor
12:34 pm
into the deliberation because of the legal issue it's reprehensible because the posting didn't happen and it calls into question a lot of things but it leaves under the law we can make you stay until we get to item 167 and hear the testimony knowing your have to have a different commission donate why it's not optimal so it's the last item on the agenda i personally am disappointed that happened. it is i would say that maybe the commission can take that under advisement but to the planner on item 15 what's the - >> the dr requester is asking for more times but the project
12:35 pm
sponsor wants more time so maybe it's better to continue the continuance. >> can i follow-up on item 16. there was an inquire around the mandatory discretionary review >> the department will combine the notification into one hearing so the notification specified that the commission will look at the mandatory discretionary review for the demolition and the new construction for kwefg that was filed by the new neighbor. >> i'll add with commissioner borden why it was not posted on site it's clear to the lawyers involved this is also required. >> commissioner sugaya >> just to add to the
12:36 pm
composition of the commission there are other commissioners whose terms are already up it's quite conceivable you may be seeing one or two or no at least 2 commissioners may also not be here in the future. so to hear it now i think is very risky in terms of having the composition change over time i'm not saying that's going to happen but another possibility to add to what commissioner borden said. there are ones that are in agreement looimg i'm going to go ahead and move item one and two on the consent calendar and item let's see - .
12:37 pm

august 7th. >> august 7th. >> yep, august 7th. we're number 2 >> okay. so on that motion. >> still commissioners that have questions and commissioner antonini. >> i'm supportive of the motion regretfully i'd like to have the people comment on it it will be taken up later but it seems like the thoughts of the other commissioners it has to be turned one way or another. i have a question on the 31st of july. it seems like this was a date that was added back on our calendar to replace we've lost because of the july 4th >> we wanted it but it didn't happen it. >> maybe because we hoped it would happen just judge to
12:39 pm
clarify the calendar you've approved that thursday was cancelled. >> i want to make a note to the public the comments that commissioner borden and commissioner sugaya said are correct you may see another commission it may not be worth going through all our comments on dunnigan street but a medical cannabis portion at the end of the meeting so the people who missed work you have an opportunity to speak generally at the end of the calendar that is item h i'm sorry public comment is closed. >> the item was moved to the 16 of july since you've all rerapgd

12:51 pm
preservation for 40 years. i applauded the efforts on the part of the city and other communities around the country to include incentives for preserving historic resources in their communities. but because they're really were not very many incentives available to owners and tenants but i think that sometimes there are larger issues that need to be addressed so i hope we can have a conversation about this especially with the historic preservation commission >> commissioner moore. >> thank you commissioner borden. her experience goes beyond the 6 years we've been sitting here together and shining through the times there are a political matter about what's in front of this commission i've learned a lot about you're positive spirit
