explains attached to the at & t's application that at & t has a gap in in wireless service by anza third avenue and eighth avenue. depicted here in the photo. per direction of the board of supervisors in 20 11 and this year registered professional engineer bill hamate issued his report concurrence with at & t's gap information and conclusion. that report was included in at & t's application and is part of the record. mr. hamate is here today and available to address any questions you might have in relation to his research and analysis.

given the weight of the evidence, the planning, zoning & economic -- planning commission incurred that a necessity does indeed exist. on a matter of whether this is desirable and compatible with the neighborhood, the planning commission again recognized that at & t has worked diligently with the planning staff for over two 2 years to develop the most appropriate and less intrusive need to service the gap in coverage. what qualifies is least intrusive in based on the city code and the preferred location under the city's wireless communication guidelines. on all it's five locations at & t conducted an expensive analysis that conducted the properties in the areas. it conducted the preferred locations because of it's zoning,

height and location along the signal propagation and addressing the coverage gap by the least intrusive means possible. there are no other locations where at & t can feasibly close the gap by a least intrusive means. having shown there is a gap in the coverage in the area of 431 balboa street and proposed to close the gap, the planning commission's unanimous approval support the evidence and consistent with state and federal law. before closing today i want to recognize that a lot of the comments i hear today and i also heard at the planning commission center around facing radio frequency. the concern about health effects of radio frequency emissions is

contradicted by the evidence. here it is beyond the dispute that proposed equipment is well below applicable level of fcc limits. the proposed facility was performed by hamate and edison and will perform well within and far below the applicable f cc public limit. this is signed often by the department of public health. to the extent such facilities comply with the fcc's regulation with such emissions, it cannot support a denial or in this case an appeal. in done conclusion at & t has shown a gap in the wireless service and demonstrated in the application and the alternative site analysis that is to close the gap. at & t is closes the gap and

doing so in a manner that has careful consideration in the impact of the facilities and the values it seeks to promote. at & t's design is is consistent with city's general you'll planning regulations and we ask you to support the planning commission's decision and deny the appeal. thank you for your time today. >>president david chiu: supervisor mar? >>supervisor eric mar: could you respond to the neighborhoods about not having any notice and only a couple people going to the meeting in 2012. because i think there are real fears that people have and real concerns about it about the necessity and compatibility and the

desirability of the nine panel antennas on that building. >> certainly, i'm happy to. we send out our notices and copies of all the addresses and the notice to the planning department. it's included in the record. supervisors you know i can't force people to come to community meetings. the radio services is an independent third party vendor that we hire to do that mailing. we don't do it in-house. i think that's why we have another meeting at the planning commission so people have an opportunity to be heard and the necessity standard is met. the desirable and compatibility standard has been met through the alternate site analysis and when that happened, the burden of the carrier has been met and the fcc says there is

very little left. >> i know when in past antenna proposals when i have attended community meetings they have been full liken at the jewish center and the effort you made was commendable. but this community says they didn't have enough notice and they are real legitimate concerns. if we at the board were to over turn the planning commission's conditional use permit, would at & t resort to those right-of-way on the street poles to achieve the coverage of the gap that you said exist? >> so, at & t does not even have an approved distributed antenna designed

approved by the san francisco. this is a pretty clear case. i think we would pursue legal means to pursue this site. we've been waiting 2 years, our federal shot clock is 150 days. if we had noticed through oh omar, we worked closely with the planning department, if he gets wind to opposition right before we had our community meeting we held a separate meeting for 3-4 hours to address these concerns, we didn't have that in this case. this is the first time. i think we had 7 or maybe 9 people at the planning commission. it's been almost three 3 years in january. our shop clock is 150 days. we met our legal obligation

and we ask that you move forward to support the planning commission's decision. >> thank you. >> colleagues, any more questions? is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment . if there is any member from the pub protected bike -- public wishing to speak. let's hear from our rebuttals. >> supervisors, thank you for listening to us. we could have potentially resolved this much easier had the problem been approved. i think there is a problem with trust. why do we, the community not trust at & t?

how come, why can't they get our trust? not just us, not just our community, each of your communities as they apply, not just at & t but the other carriers they are going to the same same thing. he said she said type situation where it doesn't of to be like this. the wts siting guidelines, i think the spirit was excellent back in 1996, but somehow that wholen at the present time has the focus has been lost. there is no accountability to us, the citizens. you are our leaders and we look to you to help us. district 1, with supervisor mar is our leader and each of you have your own constituents. this is going to be a problem. we need to find solutions,

residential areas are not where antennas should be. they should be as indicated in the guidelines on public areas, places where people are not living. and it's interesting that the international firefighters association had a resolution that prohibits antenna on their buildings. i wonder why? i think there is a problem. so we need to solve this and i really thank you for the opportunity to bring the sub. it is a bird in the saddle. i am for technology, but it has to be right. thank you. >>president david chiu: thank you, colleagues, any final

questions for the parties involved today. >> yes, ma i i continue my pictures. i didn't finish. >> unfortunately man -- madam, public comment is closed. >> you will see the picture clearly. >> we hear what you are saying. we need to give the member of the public the same amount of time. thank you very much. colleagues any final comments before we close this hearing? >> supervisor mar? >>supervisor eric mar: i want to thank many of the neighborhoods. >>president david chiu: colleagues unless there is any objection, this hearing is now closed. supervisor mar? >>supervisor eric mar: i want to thank everyone for attending.

i urge my colleagues to listen to the sentiments of my neighbors. i will be moving to not authorize this. the lack of communication with at & t is a critical part of it. the independent study done by the neighborhood should be looked at carefully as well. i appreciate the planning staff walking us through the issues, but in my opinion based on my knowledge of how close sensitive receptors like young from birth to five children are so close to the nine antennas plus the many different restaurants and other activities especially sushi bistro which is one of my daughter's favorite restaurants. it's my neighborhood that we are talking about and my neighbors are very fearful of approval of a project like this. so i ask you to stand with me

and my neighbors in rejecting this conditional use authorization decision. so i will move that we disapprove the conditional use authorization. that's item 23 and that we table items 22 and 24. >>president david chiu: supervisor mar has made a motion to disapprove the cu, second by supervisor kim. any additional from colleagues. >> mr. president if it's the desire to disapprove the appeal, it would be important to approve item 24. >> let me ask the city attorney if we need to know more. >> deputy city attorney. a number of

issues raised that supervisor mar is lack of notice which is a planning requirement. not a codified requirement for the bases of a conditional use. >> so it's not in necessary or compatible based on the evidence in the record and the testimony from the community. >> thank you, and my office will work with the clerk to prepare findings for the next meeting consistent with your comments. >> okay. >> so then mr. president, we would not approve item 24. >> item 24 would direct the clerk's office to prepare the findings based on the testimony and evidence provided today. so the board would approve 23 and 24 and then the clerk's office would prepare findings to present

at the next board meeting. >> and we table item 22? >> that's correct. >> okay. again, we'll make the motion as has been proposed by supervisor mar and second by supervisor kim ascribed by our deputy city attorney. let's call the roll. >> city clerk: supervisor farrell, no, kim aye, tang, no, wiener, no, yee, aye, supervisor avalos? no. supervisor breed. no. supervisor campos, aye, supervisor chiu, aye. supervisor cohen. there are 5 ayes and 6 nos. >> the motion fails.

>>president david chiu: i have been adviced by our clerk that a motion to approve the cu would be a motion here. do you want to add anything else to that. >> deputy city attorney john gibner, no, the motion to approve item 22, tabling 23 and 24. >>president david chiu: okay, is there anyone who wants to make that motion? supervisor farrell is making that motion. is there an is second to that motion? seconded by supervisor breed. with that let's take a roll call vote. >> city clerk: supervisor farrell, aye,

kim, no, mar no, supervisor tang, aye, wiener aye, supervisor yee, no, supervisor avalos, aye, supervisor breed, aye, supervisor campos, no, chiu no, supervisor cohen, aye. there are 6 ayes and 5 nos. >> the issue of conditional use is approved. and with that, colleagues, madam clerk could you read the in memoriams. city clerk: today the memory in the following individual for the late mr. sandy segal. >> with that, madam clerk, is there anymore business in front of the board of supervisors? >> that concludes the business for today. >>president david chiu: ladies and

gentlemen, we are adjourned. [ meeting is adjourned ] >> >>

>> bonnie banks. bonnie banks. my definition of noise is uncontrolled music. without format. pretty simple affair. pancakes, and you're -- people get up on sundays around noon, weekends or whatever. should not be too hard to walk into place. have your audio alarm clock go off for two hours waking your

up while you are eating breakfast with many interesting visuals once in a while. improvisation. listening or not to the person you're playing up against or people or machines. trying to get as many different people in as possible. different genres, experimental noise, electronics, dissonance some drums.a tiny bit of ambient -- the first noise pancake shows, 1999, the first waffle noise, 2001. god-waffle noise, noise pancake

came out of cubist art, place on mission street, brutallo, where the church -- opened up his house and saturday morning cartoons. a big space. you can have everybody set up and barely move equipment around; small room for an audience to move around, walkover and get pancakes without getting burned up in the kitchen. there's like people in their hard-core gabber; people into really fast death metal; black metal. people who don't listen to music at all.

guy like larnie bock (sounds like) set up huge, motor driven harp. i don't know how to explain it. 40 foot of motors that he had running over strings and wires. and then played each string individually with the mixer. there is a feeling of euphoria when somebody's really good at what they do. experiencing a buffer, pushing your bowels out your rear. different. a lot of noise. you don't play clubs with a cleaning schedule,

a guy coming in the morning emptying the beer bottles. you play the warehouse. if you travel around you will see the exact same kind of weirdos doing their own thing. it is like in the bay area it's even more absurd. there seems to be more people that in a place like new york or tokyo. we did a show in new york, i didn't think that anyone was at hardly, and people come up and said i saw the show. i wish they had some kind of breakfast noise going on over there. i think a lot of people were being, walking out of the shows. that was incredible. i can't believe it's over already, after two hours. if you are reluctant to enjoy

something like this it will probably take a mass of peers to sell you on it. it's fine if you stay away. most of the people that come to the shows are pretty happy to be here. you may not be one of them. which is fine. >> good morning, today is october 21,, 2014, welcome to the county, transportation authority. my name is john avalos the chair of the authority. and today's broadcast is brought to us through sfgtv by jessy larson and charles

criminacand the clerk is erika cheng. >> any announcements? noe. announcements. >> commissioner avalos? >> present. >> breed. >> here. >> campos? >> present >> chiu. >> present. >> cohen. >> absent. >> far ril? >> present. >> kim. >> here >> mar. >> present. >> tang. >> present. >> weiner? >> absent. >> commissioner yee. >> present. >> we have quorum. great, let's go item to, >> item two, approval of the minutes of the september 23, 2014, action. >> any comments? >> any member of the public that would like to comment. seeing none, we will close. >> avalos? >> aye. >> breed.

appreciate the work of the sfmta the police department and the department of public health and other agencies supporting the city's vision zero team, around town reminding everyone that every intersection is a potential pedestrian crossing route, and enforcement is set up for the drivers, be aware of this. >> we have seen the rise in capitol projects but it is clear that we need a increase in our pedestrian crossing facilities. and dedicated by the infrastructure and the traffic, signal equipment and other basic investments. with the support of our (inaudible) i hope to see acceleration of the project and pledge this body's support in making that happen and i also want to thank, members of this body for their work in their district and helping them move the deal forward. and on the lighter note and

related note, i have the pleasure this weekend of joining with many community members and organizations on the great bike ride to the streets of the seasons with the former mayor of colombia and (inaudible) a passionate advocate of the streets and the use of streets as public spaces. the mayor is a visionary and an inspirational international leader in sustain able transportation, having implemented many transformative improvements in (inaudible) and in a relatively short amount of time. and in just three years, he created over 200 miles of dedicated bike and pedestrian infrastructure and pioneered what we know as of sunday streets, and he implemented the largest bus rapid transit system in the world. and the transmeleniau. l brt and given a limited street

space and open space, i very much appreciate his message about the importance of making efficient choices when it comes to the use of our streets and that is why we are pursuing vision zero and that is why we are supporting the bus rapid transit and why we are promoting bike sharing and high occupancy vehicle lanes and many of the ideas are included in the county wide, san francisco, transportation plan, which i understand that the staff will be updating coordinating over the coming year as mtc and abag update the plan bay area and this effort is important for thebility to advocate for the regionally for the state resources and to develop, the projects and policis that will help us meet the challenges of safety, affordability and growth and especially in the area of climate change. and as in the 20th, and 25
