6:30 am
>> speakers in support ever project sponsor? >> i'm tie bash the owner of 1011 ashburyburg you might be familiar with me i presented in may 22nd of this year if you see my face you'll see some of the people i've never showed up to my dr i'm saddened by the fact that brings us together tonight as in in my opinion the collapse of the planning process but it has turned into a mudslinging 0 event which homeowners that wish
6:31 am
to build their homes for the families to accommodate in their needs. and in preparation for my dr hearing i watched over two years ever dr hearings online in which the project sponsors repeatedly used - following the dr experience i choice to move out they can't bear the thought of living next door to their neighborhoods it go pathic i ask each one of you this is the u top i'm of the opinion the populated home will be a wonderful edition to our street the materials create a good use
6:32 am
of spaces and provides a nice size home and has minimal impact on the neighbors many families with children are leaving the city those home will come up the family in order to mitigate the impact the project sponsor proposed to excavate the family for a knowledge space and as far as the petition how can we take seriously a petition that a little that is of stories fall if that's not a falsehood to the neighborhoods i don't know what is. i urge you to not take dr and approve the project as is thank you. >> good evening. i'm steve and
6:33 am
my wife and i are owners on the home on bat out of hell did care a few blocks down and cool valley being a tight niche community we've been trying for years to find a place i know some of the gentleman's project i know thank you
6:34 am
very much. >> so the first point i want to address is the variance question
6:35 am
there's been absolutely no rebuttal by the project sponsor i'm asking you to deny the variance there's no justification for the variance next the project sponsor representatives show you a straight on the ed and refers to it as the east side of ashbury when we are making judaism's about the aesthetic we should look at the authentic which the the west side and showing the east side is quite immaterial in my mind. there are special and extraordinarily circumstances we have a petition of over 50 neighbors in the immediately zint that purports to support this program.
6:36 am
i would also we've repeatedly heard there are not 6 floors on this building but if we look at please if he look on the projector for just a second i apologize for the quality of the image i'll show you indirectly from the plans it's a little bit rough but here's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and an observation deck on top there are 6 usable floors it this from the rear but it has a massive impact on clayton street. so in conclusion i ask you deny the variance it was misrepresented you've had 80 this clearly pointed out to you and take the dr. >> okay project sponsor have two
6:37 am
minute rebuttal. >> thank you. i'll judge address did variance briefly we stand on our papers submitted we building that the finding can be met it's an unusual lot that requires the minor encroachment into the rear yard it matches the rear yard to the rear of that property thank you very much. >> public hearing is closed commissioner moore. you want to bring to the administrative active commission? not approval wise it lacks those kinds of dynamics there are no lateral depictions
6:38 am
so we can kind of understand it a legal document that we determine the lines of the buildings with a difficult rear yard situation i don't believe we were in a position to look at this project tonight that's not speaking to the dr requester nor to the plant it's an immobility to judge the project. there are two diengz and the survey that generally speaks to the lots distinctions the western this being 44 to have that speaks to a small lot by which the citing of the building
6:39 am
in the lot accurately dynamics is one of the key elements that this commission needles to take as it is based for approval mr. taylor when it goes to departments of building approvals our recommendation has to rely on a common set of references which we don't have. i ask we continue the project perhaps until next week the architect might have overlooked them and atsdz adds them >> second, that if that's a motion. >> commissioner hillis. >> call the question, please. >> if it's heard next week we
6:40 am
won't be able to have is plans they'll be priority the day of the hearing. next week is a full agenda september 4th >> commissioners there's not a good hearing in the next several weeks next week you have 3 drs with a full calendar on september 4, 4 drs and september 11, 4 drs so it doesn't matter none of them will actually be good with 4 a 4 point dr. >> i'll not recommend because we won't get the drawings in time and just not be a good practice. >> excuse me. can i point out
6:41 am
the definitions excuse me, sir this hearing is crossed. >> the track is obtain all drawings. >> commissioner antonini. >> continue to september 11th. >> that's part of the motion. >> all right. >> commissioner sugaya i also shrink or sing i won't be here for that meeting i'd like the zoning administrator to take into consideration my concern about the actual variance issue 10 feet out of 22 is an awesome large variance to be asking for that's also did not object the diengsz a is relationship to others buildings surrounding it to the rears so that we can get
6:42 am
an idea of the existing position in the mid block areas. commissioners there's a motion that's been second to continue the matter. commissioner antonini. commissioner hillis. commissioner johnson. commissioner moore. commissioner sugaya. commissioner fong. so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 6 to zero. and >> and the variance is is to september 11th. >> commissioners about places you under public comment i have there are not speaker cards. >> i think we're adjourned right. >> i have speaker cards. >> i want to thank you for

6:52 am
there will be cops here regularly. soon enough they will be using this clubhouse as a place they use as the base of operations and there's not -- i can't say enough how much time we want to spend with the young people in san francisco and for all of the people that contributed tonight and for the mayor and his leadership supervisor cohen, the district attorney, and others and i think you jinxed us with saying the rain isn't coming and have a good time and next year will be even better. >> thank you sir. we are blessed to have the supervisor for district 10 so let's welcome supervisor cohen. >> hello family. hello. what a beautiful day. my god we couldn't have prayed for something better than this.
6:53 am
thank you for everyone for coming out. thank you. because you know what national night out is about? it's very simple. it's one night when cities all around the country come together to say we're taking back our parks, taking back our streets, taking back our cities, taking it back from the violent crime element and reclaiming it as a safe haven for the community. there are people here that deserve some recognition. i want to recognize the community partners and specifically list up ms. ruth jackson sitting here in the green. this woman deserves serious recognition and love. i want to recognize the fact that we have a true community. you look around here we've got sano ans, asian pacific islander community, the chinese community, african-americans, caucasians. we have literally the physical

6:55 am
use the open space, and today not only are we celebrating people coming together and using this park, but also we're celebrating the fact that as a community we refuse to allow violence to define us. we as a community are coming together, neighbors, police officers, supervisors, the district attorney's office, our probation because we refuse to allow our community to be defined by the worse moment -- by a bad moment of violence, so i am very proud of being here today. this park is a wonderful place. it's a place that we want to want to make sure the community uses and we are committed to ensuring this is a safe place for all to play. thank you. [applause]
6:56 am
>> thank you. i also want to recognize rec and park for really providing so much of what you see here, the table and the chairs and the bouncy houses and that thing, whatever it is. it's been fantastic and a blessing with being accommodating and with this we have a closing prayer. this will go on to 8:00 o'clock but we want god's blessing on this park and now to forever only things happen to you. we ask you for your spirit here and god rebuke all violence and evil from this area. we pray in the name jesus. we know you can do it. have grace and amen. thank you very much.
