request on light i've explained this is not falling into a rule or registration to deny. >> we we have the preapplication meeting the neighbor was not there we spoke on the phone several times as gabriel my partner with the 311 notification period we've not spoken since the dr was filed like i said we've not received a response. >> this is the first time that the applicant is suggesting this modification. >> we e-mailed that to him during the 311 notification he didn't respond. >> could you perhaps tell us what you think about the change other than saying it didn't

solve our window problems are you comfortable with it solving our problem during the other times of the year. >> no, i phoned the architect and he recommended i talk to the city about the problem first, i talked to jean in a i believe was the project manager and received did proposal of the angle solution and in my opinion this solution must solve the whole problem in south e summer months but not the axis to sin and i decided to go for this hearing. >> i personally building that this project as taken as many modifications as are reasonably possible in the circumstance we're seeing here i personally

do not building i can personally suggest how to meet the full expectation i'm not intending to do we don't have the tools so unless other other commissioner has a comment i'd like to suggest we approve it. >> that's a motion. >> yes. and second. >> commissioner antonini. >> so the modified project is before us we don't have to take dr to approve the modifications or do we. >> i was going to ask for clarity commissioner moore if you're going to incorporate that proposal. >> yes. >> the plan in front of you don't incorporate that proposal. >> i'll take dr with the specific and right the current

plans the architect is probably explain it but i understand it's a 45 degree angle at the top floor corner you may want to explain that. >> the 45 degree angle starts one foot 9 feet and go 45 degree for the full horizontal towards the back. >> yes. >> yeah, we can submit that revision in a few days. >> commissioner johnson. >> thank you. i guess we'll e resend it and take modifications. >> i'm mention that in the motion. >> second. >> commissioners, we have a motion and a second to take dr approve the project include in the packet materials on that

motion. >> commissioner antonini commissioner hillis commissioner johnson commissioner moore sxhoifkdz and commissioner fong so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 6 to zero i wish i could say we can take general public comment but we moved items c and d to the end of the calendar we have a couple of things to move on commissioners that places you under commissioner matters the adaptation of the draft minutes for september 11th and 18. >> i have no speaker cards. >> second. >> on that motion to adapt the minutes. >> commissioner antonini commissioner hillis commissioner johnson commissioner moore commissioner richards and commissioner fong excuse me. commissioner chair

commissioners that places you on commissioners questions or comments. >> commissioner moore. >> there was a tragic accident on stockton in sacramento mrs. friday or saturday again, a woman was crossing the street was run over and died i talked with president wu and i like to remind the commission planning staff and all departments to look at the single for green man plus technology i know there's an idea of creating a scramble at that intersection that's not enough to deal with slower moving people that dominate it the scramble is not addressing the issue of people getting across in the time allocated for returning in all directions so

i'd like to remind people to look at the green man technology i described from singapore other thing to light will even up the conversation i got an alcatraz to look at the exhibit it's a one of a kind experience in my entire times that i've not been in alcatraz (laughter) this was remarkable so i this is the architect artists who did an installation in four of buildings it is just absolutely stunning. >> field trip. >> commissioner johnson i second the field transmittal good giants and i appreciate

commissioner antonini wearing a go giants. >> director reports. >> let me give you not a director report but a board report i'll try to make that united states subject on short-term rentals one requiring an annual report by the host the number of days increasing liability insurance to half a million dollars and requiring the registration for hosts and multiple units the tenant to be removed and the effective date is february 1st of next year to gear up and 6 the dedicated funding from the enforcement go to 9 planning department and the registration fee is included and

7 the annual report to the board of supervisors that we provide an annual report regarding accident enforcement of the program there were several amendments a lot of before and after from the board members and supervisor wiener also suggested amendments to require between 6 months the commission to hold a hearing prior to fee adjustments the controller based on the information would have the authority to increase the fees the registration fees and supervisor wiener has asked we have a hearing before we do that that makes sense i think supervisor kim made suggestions she suggested the change about having the 90 day limits to hosted and non-hosted there was not an agreement supervisor

wiener self-support that and supervisor cohen expressed concerns about rome rentals from the housing market it doesn't move forward from the land use committee the full board we'll try to keep you informed and a cough of pieces of legislation the you've heard an item open the 18 of the amending to insure sro unit can't be converted to student housing that move forward from the land use the moratorium on selma was put forward spord by supervisor kim

that moved forward and at the full board the night life larger than 25 square feet in the western selma you saw move forward the supervisor incorporated our and it passed on final regretting supervisor breed's requested a hearing that the woemd reports on the housingic group and evaluate the relationship if that affordable housing and you've talked about this obviously gearing up to do that we'll get that hearing on collapsed and supervisor mar introduced an ordinance african-american the police code to ask for formula retail use to put work steldz e schedules in advance and so on i can't tell you why it's in the

police code because it is not currently schedule for a planning constriction hearing it does rely on the information of the formula retails by otherwise not going come to the perhaps because of work contemplation o compensation schedules at any rate sorry for the rushed recorded hopefully more daily next week. >> okay. it's late i appreciate your patience commissioners, if there's nothing further go commissioners general public comment. >> any general public comment general public comment is closed. and we're

>> hi, i'm corn field and welcome to doing building san francisco, we are doing a special series, called stay safe, how you can stay in your home safely and comfortable, and we know that an earthquake is coming and there are things that you can do to reduce the effects of the earthquake on your home. let's take a look at that. >> here at the spur urban center on mission street in san francisco talking about staying in your home after an earthquake. i have guests today, pat buscavich and his dog, harvey and david, and both structural engineers and we want to talk about things that you might do

before an earthquake to your home to make it more likely that your home will be ha bitable after an earthquake, what should we do? both structural and maybe even important non-structural things. >> you hear about how to prepare an earthquake kit and brace your book shelves and water tank and that is important. what you have to be careful is make sure that you are not going the easy things to make yourself feel better. if you have a bad structure, a bad building, then you need to be looking at that and everything that you do to keep your collectables in place is small and compared. if you have taken care of your structure, then there is a lot of stuff that you can do in your house that is non-structural and your chimney and water tank. >> let's talk about what the structural things might be. >> and he is exactly right. you don't want to make the deck chairs safe on the titanic, it is going down, you are going down, you have to make sure

that your house is safe. there are basic things that you need to do including bracing the water heater, not just because of fire hazard but because of the water source and the damage, but basic things are installing anchor bolts, and adding plywood and strapping your beams to column and posts to footings and foundations are really easy things to do and most contractors can do the building department is set up to approve this work, and these are things that every home owner should do, and it is a little harder because you have to get a building permit and hire a contractor. but you want to be able to after a big earthquake to climb in bed that night and pull the covers up and say i don't have to worry about going to a government shelter. >> that is the main focus that it is great to have an earthquake kit to be able to bug out for 72 hours. here is a better idea, stay in your own home and in order to do that you have to be make sure that your structure is okay. if you have a house, the easy things to do with the wood

construction is feasible. if you have a renter or you live in a concrete building, you need to talk to the building own , and make sure they have done their due diligence and find out what the deficiencies are. >> when i have looked at damaged buildings,vy seen that a little bit of investment in time and money and structural work provides great dividends. >> especially if it is the wood frame, typical house that you can do the things that i was talking about, the anchor and the plywood in the first garage area, you know if you refinanced in the last three years, get some of that savings and it is a really good investment. and the other thing that i try to tell people, earthquake insurance is not the solution to the shelter in place, if there is a big earthquake and your building is damaged, you are not in your house, you may be somewhere else, if you work in the city, it is going to be really hard to commute from sonoma, you want to do what is necessary so that your house is

retrofitted and a couple of years of earthquake premium could get you to a level that you could be in the house after a significant earthquake and it may have damage and there is still a shelter in place where you are at home and you are not worried for the government taking care of you and you are living in a place where you can go to work and you want to have your wood frame house is really easy to get to that level. on top of the wood frame house, i mean every wood frame house in the west half of the city have a water tank and the water tank fall over because they are gas fired and start fires. and that is something that you could do for yourself, and for your neighbors and for the whole city is make sure that your water tank is braced. >> if you look at the studies that are predicting on fires, we are going to have a lot of fires and for every water tank that is braced there is a potential of one less fire that the fire department is going to have to fight and we don't want to have any more fires than we need to. so bracing the water heater is the first thing that you want to do. >> and so easy, and you go

on-line and you google, earthquake, water and heater and you google the sites where you can find the details and you can put them out there on the hardware store and you can hire a small contract tore do that for you. that is a couple of hundred bucks, the best investment. if you are in other types of building it is complicated. if you are in a high-rise building you just can't anchor your building down because there are no anchor bolts, but at that point, the tenant should be asking questions of the owner's and the managers about earthquake preparedness >> and don't take the easy answer, oh, our building is safe it was designed to code. that is not the right answer, ask the tough questions and see if you can get a report that has been given to you. >> what is the right question? will i be able to stay in my home after the expected earthquake? is that a good question to ask? >> yeah, you may be more specific if you talk to the owner, if it is not a recent building, if it is ten or 20 years old see if they had an

inspection done and there you will have a written before that will tell you all about the structure. >> thanks, pat. >> thanks, harvey. and thanks david for joining us and thank you for joining us on >> welcome to culture wire. we will look at the latest and greatest public art project. recently, the airport unveiled the new state of the art terminal. let's take a look. the new terminal service and american airlines and virgin america was designed by a world- renowned architecture's firm. originally built in 1954, the

building underwent massive renovation to become the first registered terminal and one of the must modern and sustainable terminals and the united states. the public art program continues its 30-year legacy of integrating art into the airport environment with the addition of five new commissions that are as bold and dynamic as the new building. >> this project was completed in record time, and we were able to integrate the artist's early enough in the process that they could work with the architect said that the work that is completed is the work that really helps complement and instill the space as opposed to being tucked away in a corner. >> be experience begins with the glass facades that was designed with over 120 laminated glass panels.

it captures the experience of being under or over clouds when flying in a plane. depending on the distance or point of view, it can appear clear for more abstract and atmospheric. the subtle colors change gradually depending on the light and the time of day. >> i wanted to create an art work that looks over time as well as working on in the first glance. the first time you come here, you may not see a. but you may be able to see one side over the other. it features a couple of suspended sculptures. each was created out of a series of flat plains run parallel to each other and constructed of steel tubing. >> it is made up of these strata.

as the light starts to shift, there is a real sense that there is a dynamism. >> it gives the illusion that this cultures might be fragments of a larger, mysterious mass. >> the environmental artwork livens it with color, light, and the movement. three large woven soldiers are suspended. these are activated by custom air flow program. >> i channeled air flow into each of these forms that makes it move ever so slightly. and it is beating like a heart. if-0 when as of the forces of nature moving around us every second. >> shadow patterns reflect the

shapes of the hanging sculptures. the new terminal also features a children's play areas. both of the market the exploratory n.y. -- exploratorium. the offer travelers of all ages a playful oasis. using high quality plywood, they created henches shaped like a bird wings that double as musical instruments. serving as a backdrop is a mural featuring images of local birds and san francisco's famous skyline. >> in the line between that is so natural, you can see birds and be in complete wilderness.

i really like that about this. you could maybe get a little snapshot of what they are expecting. >> it is an interactive, keck sculpture that is interacted with by the visitor. >> they are a lot about and they fall down the belt. it moves the belt up, and if you turn that faster, the butterflies fall in the move of words. >> the art reflect the commission's commitment to acquiring the best work from the bay area and beyond. in addition to the five new commissions, 20 artworks that were already in the airport collection were reinstalled. some of which were historically cited in the terminal. it includes major sculptures by

the international artists. as a collection, these art works tell the story of the vibrant arts scene in the early 1960's through the mid-1980s's. the illustrate san francisco's cultural center and a place of innovation that is recognized and the love throughout the world. one of the highlights is a series of three left tapestries. they are on view after being in storage for 20 years. these tapestries representing various gardens. from his years of living in san francisco. hydrangeas, chrysanthemums, and whilst dahlias in rich, deep shades as they make their way to the baggage area. they can access behind-the- scenes information and

interviews with the artist through an audio to work. it features archival audio as well as interviews with living artists. he can be accessed on site by dialing the telephone numbers located near the artwork or by visiting the commission's web site. the public art speaks volumes of san francisco as a world-class city with world-class art and culture. for more information, visit
