as a local residential eir resident with a family of two kids i use the park i think the project will enhance the park and specifically from a safety perspective working in the area i walk by the site almost everyday i'm ready for the day when we see the project fulfilled i urge you to support it i spoke in front of the of the rec and park and have no concerns over the shadow issue and again, i use the park weekly with my two daughters so i think it's a great project and urge you to approve that thank you >> thank you is there any additional public comment seeing none, public comment is closed commissioner antonini. >> thank you. i'm supportive of this project it's hearted living to see a number of those projects come before us to see what's been done with the

eastern neighborhood and have others in the weeks to come but it referenced a lot of the same things. this one specifically the design is well done i love the juliette blanlz that allows everyone to have a balcony they're basically intermittently listed you have your space each unit or many of the units have space space and, you know, you can also have shield from the wind that's occasionally blows in san francisco without being stuck in the middle of the wind and also the roof-decks. a couple of other things they've certainly done a lot of wonderful things because taste

eastern neighborhoods this as tier b they're going on site units based on what the previous zoning and what's being allowed to be built there so the tiers are various levels this is in conformity with the 60 percent on site. contributing a million dollars in fees particularly interesting their outreach to $40,000 towards franklin square but more important the ongoing flow from the hoa fund towards the park those are things that are good. and the shadow issue that was brought up by one speaker there is a memoranda prop k that was passed in 1989 applicable here what happens if a park has a total cumulative shadow under 20 percent and a project only

increases the shadow by less than one percent this is .2 percent it's allowable as a non-significant and that's what the rec and park commission said i agree with them and any shadow impacts are limited to the time between 815 and nouksz to earlier in the morning and fleet and only certain times of the year i'm in favor of the project we'll see what the other commissioners said >> commissioner hillis. >> we're starting to see a lot of that kind of 15 story residential projects i feel like ground hog day they're starting to look more and more alike but? the best projects i've seen from

the design standpoint i don't think it start like that we have pictures in our packet that were not great i congratulate the staff and project sponsor for coming up with a design it's modern it fits spot context even in the ground floor there's attention paid to the ground floor so i hope they're more projects like this from and commissioner sugaya. >> we're rapidly losing all our car washes in this city (laughter) >> i have a car and live in a condo i can't wash it there. nice project i do have a detailed question for the architect. it's not anything that is a big deal on the ground floor you have a transformer room facing the street next to the garage

entrance and in your rernldz a kind of artsy kind of treatment could you describe what that is and the intention there we basically are venting perpendicular to that wall so we came up with the idea of those two sort of o pack areas at the ground floor one behind or in front of of the transformser we're looking at the local artists to do work but the venting is to the side >> okay. thank you. to reiterate commissioner johncks observation about 2 or 4 or 5 or 6 maybe 7 story buildings are looking the same with the balconies and all that stuff it's refreshing to see

something to take a different turn architecturally >> commissioner moore. >> i like to support the comments that were made. this is venturing in a whole new architecture area and the flexibility shown by looking at the building including the sides in the future will be complimented by some other projects overall will remain strong recognizable to add variety and i do think the this indeed shows a friendly resident face to the park which in the reiterations didn't do i'm glad the department took on the discussion and move to approve >> second. >> commissioner moore with all respect with unless you're in

the back reviewing the proceedings. >> i feel comfortable. >> then go ahead. >> what? >> commissioner sugaya. >> i want to be clear. >> we want to adapt the m m rp finding as well as part of the motion. >> thank you. then on - >> hold on commissioner antonini. >> combining both of them are one. >> both the operation and the shadows as and the m rp and that's going to be added to the proposition. >> commissioner sugaya. >> i have one question for the project sponsor sorry i shove included that i forget about that. both our supporters from the park mentioned contributions

going to the park that will be then part of the homeowners association when we get formed. how is legally what i make that permanent, permanent and can't the homework just renege and take the closing clause out of their whatever legal documents >> it's definitely our intention through a contribution through the homeowners association dues go to park maintenance and written as part of the cc&rs we don't anticipate that will change in the future but there's that chance i supposed e suppose that could happen we hope the homeowners buying into the concept are supportive of the park and true mark actually connecting to the park and okay. thank you. >> commissioner moore.

>> there's actually plenty of evidence in other san francisco neighborhood where neighborhoods contributes contribute and they're like christmas decorations this is not out of the blue as time goes bay by it's not neighborhoods benefit to keep up that. >> commissioner antonini. >> commissioner hillis. commissioner johnson arrest commissioner moore. commissioner sugaya. director vice president blalock and commissioner president wu. so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 7 to zero. commissioners that places you on item 13 at 1257 gerrero street request for conditional use

contractor and designer i've done many projects in the noah's nest i do the bays windows that that face the streets i change those are and 4th of july is in i'm getting ready to do the details for san francisco. while i'm president of the noah's nest i noticed neighbors stop by all the time and take pictures of the window people are always stopping by and saying i love this i wonder what the next one b will be many, many neighbors the children think i'm related to santa claus and also the people that stay at noah's nest primarily are coming to see brand new grandchildren and visiting a son that lives in san francisco. the families that come it is so

family oriented so this morning leaving noah's nest i heard a guest say, i love it here it is such a wonderful plays i would put my own motto stay here the breakfast is amazing the gardens wonderful it's so tastefully done and shooel la ash who runs noovts nest an incredible giving person of the heart there's nothing twho two large or small a guest can ask. thank you, very much. i support noah's nest getting this permit thank you. thank you. >> hi, i'm david i had the pleasure of staying at noah's nest i have managed hotels so

i'm a bit critical when i stay at those properties i was plural surprise one of the things people are professionals that don't want to stay at union square this was unknown known after speaking to guest the majority were visiting families and friends in walking distances to note the rooms are clean at noah's nest the staff offers high services and that's a show place inside and out knowing noah's nest when you check the demographics there's few accommodations and noah's nest fill this avoid so people don't have to travel. i'm here in support of noah's for the confusion as this is a

much needed service for out of the town people visiting family and friends in the surrounding areas. thank you >> thank you. >> hi my name is kendra i'm slel la ashs daughter i'm because of this i'm not an obviously speaker i feel i can present a valuable point on noah's nest i'm one of my mom's biggest critics she drives like a new yorker and can't cook, however, in my honest opinion noah's nest is one of her great achievements i use the landscaper because i'm a gardener but there's more to

this in the landscape there's diversity. as a bed-and-breakfast is not for everyone someone prefers the comfortable of a spa or hotel but for those who want someone more unique noah's nest offers an experience of the mission district and noah valley. to the question are we is a city that prides itself on the big and small businesses or do we seek to homogenize our industry and seek out noah's nest sure everyone should not be encouraged to stay at bed-and-breakfast but noah's is a wonderful expression of what san francisco is today when i recommend a bed-and-breakfast if you're looking for a slice of the mission district stay at noah's nest. in my opinion noah's is an asset

to the city and a shame to see it removed >> thank you. next speaker. i'll call a few more names (calling names). >> hello, i'm gretta gordon i'm a typical san francisco resident i certainly support noah's nest in the noah valley it's the only bed-and-breakfast in that area. it is a well run and efficient and, in fact, it's eloquent and i urge you to vote yes. thank you >> thank you. >> i'm mary concrete the property we own is a couple of blocks from noah's nest it's

also been a comfortable knowing that if two many visitors ascend on us dollars a clean and well run place where we can have our friends and family stay that will seem more lining like an extension extension of our own homes. i hope it remains an asset we can don't think this thank you very much. thank you. >> thank you. >> good afternoon. i'm richard gail i've been to slel of shell beulah's house many times i've had a chance to meet her guests and they're happy to be there when my wife's cousin came from italy we suggested they stated there they stayed for one week and they're still talking about it and we're
