>> we'll hear from the supervisors first. >> thank you commissioner president wu i'm from supervisor campos office we first want to say that the sponsor has worked with the community and has been willing to reach out there's pockets of the community we want them to context with that's the pta on marshal avenue that's one of the reasons we ask for the continuance one race point i'd like to make the sponsor after speaking with them has accepted to send a continuance and we're still pushing our deal to month so we hope your consideration of that.

>> thank you. okay. so let's invite of the project sponsor up for speaking of on continuance and then occupy up for public comment >> and right now, we're speaking to the order of the continuance. >> honorable commissioners and director ram. good afternoon. i'm phil lessor speaking on behalf of the van ness team on 16th street we're moving a little bit to the eaton 16th street let me have the overhead on 16 and south van ness you can see from the number on this case this has been in the entitlements pipeline for 4

years i was engaged by the pardons to do extensive community outreach that's what i do in the district we've been doing that for four years we've had the necessary meetings for code but also voluntarily meetings and talking to all the groups i appreciate the elective aid when we were asked to speak to others on july 10th we were ready to go we were told to speak to another five or six people we did that now they are told to talk to the pta we're wondering why marshal elementary school is 3 blocks away from the site there's a project as you might know that will be built next to if i approve that on

mission it's the same size as the building immediately to the west of it the labor temple this will not be casting my shadow on the playground or facilities. the traffic study you have in our packet pages 17 and 18 the traffic route >> sir if we could keep to the matter of continuance. >> thank you, sir. speaking i'm speaking to the pta why we need to continue one more to the pta and seeing the relevance of the outreach i want to point out we'll accept this we don't understand it. we don't see why the pta has a problem with the land use issue

we prefer the meeting first in september as opposed to september 18th >> thank you. so opening it up for. if the public could please contain our comments to the matters of continuance

(calling names) >> sir, i'm sorry this is just public comment on the matter at hand of continuance only. the reason this is germane the reason we're asking for continuance a lot of the people in the neighborhood don't know of this project happening what i

want to is there was a public meeting that was referred to in the packet so far as i don't know what the notification was but there's is problem when people in the neighborhood don't know this project is happening so i - how the public notification go process should be open more for the people in the neighborhood to know what's going on >> thank you. thank you. >> hi commissioners i'm andy blue i'll request a minimum of the one month continuance on this item primarily because two weeks will not allow us to do the outreach to the elementary school community.

i've been working with the parents for the last several months pertaining f to the 1990 project none of parents are deeply concerned about the impacts this project will have on the neighborhood. i think someone after me can talk about the distance it's not 3 blocks i want to clarify the current site is not 3 blocks but a minimum of a block and a half it's close to marshal elementary and it's a significant project in that community and just speaking for the patterns i've been working with that couldn't be here today they want an opportunity to let the members of the community know about this development so its necessary that we have a minimum of a

month so once school is in session we can communicate with the parents >> thank you. next speaker. >> hi, i'm tommy with the housing rights committee we're a half block away from the site of this development. we also are asking that you give at least a month's extension continuance on this so the pta and marshal school folks can get involved in the discussion. as andy said i work a half block away on south van ness but this construction where it is going to be i forget the name of thoughts street >> (inaudible) and it's the school the school yard it's not 3 blocks away it will have an impact on the school and

children and the parents have reasons to be concerned and should be revolved in the 0 process and don't feel they've been involved i'm part of the coalition and we're concerned about this project and have heard effectively from folks in the neighborhood and he parents so i think you know, i think it's reasonable to give a little bit more time so those folks can get involved and have input we're asking for at least a month's extension thank you. >> is there any additional public comment on the continuance. >> thank you. i'm terrance i live on van ness i want to speak in support of the project and in terms of basically finalizing the project to allow the contractors to go forward

obviously because of the housing shortage it was exceptionally a bathroom i see people defecating. >> sir keep our matter to continuance. >> i'll hold my reasons by the way, basically we've been waiting for a number of years to see it go forward. thank you >> i'm roger the billing manager which is indirectly adjacent to the project. i've been at the building for thirty years i've the building more for over 20 years for one thing this is a horrible time for the process we're a historic building we're only one of two in the city that have history

status in 2004 we're in the one hundred anniversary of that building. i've spent 3 months on this project in 2011 and as a result i'm in the middle of writing the history we've been mess up trying to do a hundred anniversary has this is being proposed dhs a night mayor i've spent 3 and a half months on this project i've completely torn. and i've put a lot of work this guy has been influenced by the picture that picture is a lie the building is 86 feet the building next to say 45 feet the school is a small block away 4 houses and the school yard it literally 40 feet those guys are not talking to people i didn't

hear about the april hearing and your staff never told me i sent in the primary objections they never informed me i get a letter a formed letter this is way out thank you. >> hi good afternoon, commissioners sorry i'm morris the project sponsor just to reiterate we've been in connect with the owner of this year i know with there's some disconnect between the owner and tenants and if those guys they can deal with the plan our height is matching with the brick building we're not faking

anything regarding what the marshal elementary school we met with the school principle and one of development they were unaware of the extensive meditations we took 3 hundred work loads of contaminated soil we won't have a lot of traffic and deliver it will be from van ness and 16th street i'm hoping you guys will push for the two weeks we've already given the july 10th extension. we feel we've been more than cooperative and hoping for the first week in september please. thank you.

>> good afternoon. my name is is rick i'm a tenant in also speaking on behalf of the light temple association the red stone building is adjacent to this project. the red stone temple association is the tenants group within the building about 35 tenants more or less a hundred people represented we've long opposed this project and i'm speaking and the labor temple association is strongly in favor of a minimum one month continuance so the actual marshal parents can participate and be involved in the process of this. this project. i know the project has been going on for a longer there's been a hiatus of two or three years all of a sudden there's

this huge placard on the fence around it. being a tenant in the building adjacent i've received no information of the all of a sudden public meetings on valencia gardens this is the school is a mere half block away and will have a great effect on the traffic around the school primarily true most of the because it's a one way most of the traffic will go on - and try to keep our comments to the continuance >> allow the marge parents to have more say it will definitely effect the playgrounds and school. thank you >> thank you. >> thank you shawn the project sponsor arrest i'm here to

report we will respectfully support either continuance, however, i urge you to pick the soonest the sooner of the two. but only if their long and cumbersome process the coming off the earn neighborhood rezoning one can almost add the two layers of notification we've been talking about sites like this there's been a lot of talk about the eastern neighborhoods and this project and at some point the process is the process i will remind you 24 has been continued ones i learned the supervisor requested a second continuance. i know this morning and after discussing the matter and going back and forth and hearing the years and the time it took for this to go through the process after hearing and realizing

there is already been been one 5 week extension we came to a compromise i realize there's not a hearing in two weeks but if all possible make it; four, the next available hearing we want to do more outreach and meat with others folks there maybe some things that note need to be addressed bus it's been pa long, long process thank you very much >> is there any additional public comment okay seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioner antonini >> yeah. i understand maybe i can ask the gentleman a question i understand the process has been going on for 4 years; is that correct. >> correct it's the very first preapplication meeting and going from 0 my notes commissioner antonini over and over again,

the community said this built sooner rather than later you've seen 50 letters of the endorsement. >> there's been an outreach to the administration at the elementary school as was presented but i guess there's not been conversations with the members of the pta as yet is that the case. >> that's true we met with the facilities director mr. golden san francisco unified school district and showed him the shadow study demonstrates it as well we showed him the traffic study it doesn't go through the common path of travel and spoke to the 3 had had loads of

contamination and that was part of the remediation. >> thank you. i appreciate the contact but my question is do you think you'll be able to contact the pta we have three weeks until our next hearing we have a hiatus of 2 weeks. >> it's we contacted the principle and asked by the supervisors to contact peter's his first day back on august 1st had a lengthy conversation he realizes there's an economic change going on in and around the area he's been there for seven years and also realize that the pta has gotten involved with mr. blue and others on the 16 mragdz that abuts the project

and - >> thank you. well, not contacted anyone from the pta this has come up >> as part of the continuance you be on the names of whoever you can who are mechanics of the pta and try to reach them as early as possible and ask for their comments because i'm going to continue to the earlier day. thank you phil a that's fine. a couple of points on this for a reason i'm going to ask this to continue this to the sooner date it's been 4 years in the process i was part of the neighborhood meeting that included a lot of the neighbors cloig people that are here today. i thought it was very well done but it's a project pits compiled with the neighborhoods as the

one we approved and there's been a lot of outreach already but to the point of the pta specifically i'm going to move to continue to the fourth unless there's a reason interests not been adequate contact made we can month move it forward. so anxious i find hard to believe that any member of the elementary school child would have a vacant lot then have a beautiful new building with tax dollars to the city having raised children and grandchildren i'd be surprised in the members of the school families again want it there i'm going to move to continue this to the fourth of september

>> commissioner moore. >> i'd like to ask mr. lessor a practical question at what time will the school be back in session it will shed reality. >> next monday. >> thank you very much, sir. >> which day and mr. lining. >> the public is indicating that monday the is 18 will be the day that the parent and children are back at the school does the commission building that is an sufficient amount of time and sport commissioner antonini's motion? commissioners there's a motion and second to continue this matter until september 4th. monoon that motion >> commissioner antonini.
