attachments preponderance of the evidence it linebacker anybody fully prop k operational or it's coverage maybe lost more importantly san francisco bay area would lose an important source of alternate programming that serves ethnic priorities because of the distance in top graphic the signal can't be viewed within the city limits recognizing it's viewers disproepgs receive their viewing we needed to locate a suture twenty-four hour taking into consideration the people interests they be granted a permit it has been extend by the delays experienced during the local process that is approach two years in length commissioner

mckeen month as worked with suture to get the proprieties and purchase the equipment's much of which had been to fabricated, however, now the events have inteefrnd in january they set 2015 as the absolute deadline but awful pour stations must be licenses for the repacking in 2016 as and television broadcaster we center to be practicallyal we provide spanish and once that is happened we'll have the ability to signal throughout the san francisco bay area we will use the additional channel for the choipdz and vietnamese that reflects the diversity of the community and provide those

sufficiently underserved contingent with a relevant content it allows chemical 90 month to reach more than 4 thousand latinos and asians the installation of our equipment has no urban forestry and chemo month has spent $3 million in preparation for the move and the failure so not only to chemo month we urge to approve that permit. >> is there any additional public comment? >> and commissioners i'm jim keith i'll make that short you guys have heart rate a lot of testimony i commend the project sponsor for reaching out to the

neighborhood and really making sure their voices were horde and understood what was golden and proposed i myself had a couple of questions of the project sponsor and i got immediate responses so i think there is a real good neighborhood from s pi seems to be perhaps learning lessons from the past where restrictions with the neighborhood were not also as good so this is an important project it has been itch detailed i urge the commission to move forward thank you. >> sure just go ahead and put them down.

>> good evening. i'm christen an attorney representing the twin peaks improvements association we are not here to discuss the intents rather than the concerns regarding suture tower on the screen for our historical prospective the original home that put the house of contribution equipment for suture turn over in 1970 the planning commission approved that plan for the site as you can see the site was full of landscaping at the time the architect for suture twenty-four hour stood up and said we've attempted to design a building not a expression for the industrial mass you have that in your packet evict went on to discuss the fact there was a maximum potential of trees that will

take place at the site for quite a while the suture abated to provide the screen it was coasted with trees from far view court from the waterfront reservoir you correspondent see that then suture twenty-four hour removed trees without telling the departments they objected permits without disclosing the environment at the time of the certified environmental impact reports and the categorical comments for suture tower the applications did not indicate trees would be removed from the site as you can see from the photographs suture

tower has removed and cut trees those were not at the disconnection of the fire department here in 1999 i took those photograph so they could pit cement tracks that contains more than thirty trees have been removed in 2007 suture towers asked for a permit to create a generator so for hair k h tv generator isn't it so the photograph they gave you this is what you approved and this is what you got this is the site today no trees nothing they've poured so many so much cement this is a photograph of we hope the suture

will get back to the 1974 tower. >> thank you, very much fewer help with that matter. >> is there any additional public comment. >> good evening. i'm mr. chang i represent the 8 hundred and 17 residents in this area i wanted to clarify a point that is that that they not only oppose the tower but the continued expansion and what the proprieties represents we've come a long way from the days

i'm sure i remember when the zoning administrator karen gallagher lost her earned position by making a determination that suture tower was operating outside of its conditional use permit when it so you get the retroactive unpermitted antennas and 6 thousand diesel fuel tanks it's been through the hard work of neighborhood resident who may not be here but monitor suture tower closely over the decade that suture tower is a much safer and stronger structure seismically than that was before neighborhood involvement and this is in the days between 1998 when the first tv project came

before you despite the neighborhood opposition, however, we've been able to reach agreements with suture tower to address many of the issues of concern more recently with the neighborhood and we've be able to do this because of the willingness of the current general manager eric and their legal representative christen peter's to work with the neighborhood and engage in constructive dialog rather than the less ineffective strategies in the past i want to tell us the neighborhood has played an important role not only in holding suture tower accountable but bringing about real change and conceiving the safety of suture tower not only for ourself and raised our children in the showed of the tower but for the combraur but as a big

event simply tower can provide the public service that we all rely on tuesday. >> is there any additional public comment. >> okay public comment is closed. >> and commissioner antonini. >> yeah. i think that those are all editions warden for the tower as pointed out at maximum we're well below 20 percent of the emissions and there was talk about the trees but one of theiness eir things in our packet maybe the gentleman has it but it shows the tree cover maybe you can put this think the screen it looks at extensive there they been i

maybe an area of trees that were removed around one of the part tower in fact removing eucalyptus and putting in outcomes is a good move eucalyptus generally have a lot of problems and the oaks are probably a better tree fewer side effects from them and i think this is an important communication center keeps us being the communication center of the bay area which we should be with our central location and having almost one thousand foot tower on the top of 9 hundred foothill really makes that very good i can get broadcast reception from anymore in the bay area from there unlike the

situation that occurred a few years ago from the dispute from an existing station covering nbc and nbc network they moved their facilities to to the south bay i can't get a broadcast if nbc that is a major network because their tower is the in santa cruz mountains there's still a number of people that don't have cable it is important we make it assessable especially for the first responders and other things mentioned and allowing this spanish language television station to move from mount st. helen where

most of the population is living is able to assess this station it looks like things are has been done well landscaping putting in new dish down blow and the addition felt towers and the opponents are agreeing the manager of the tower is working with the neighborhood in harmony i'm very much in favor of not taking dr and approving that project. >> commissioner richards. >> i have a question for the attorney if twin peaks neighborhood association and it's been a long day and an awful lot here go back dot landscaping transplanting plan what does that entail getting

rid of buildings. >> right now they have a tower is required through the conditional use permit to substantially screen the building no trees shall be removed watt planning department approval that was not adhered to the reality is that i'm finding the photograph we're asking for a landscape evict to now come in to determine what measures can be taken to create some sort of an area where the building can be screened if you look at this the land is waterfront los angeles police department and simply tower recognizes this large thing it placed this k

majority and the block house here to figure out how to screen it that's one the reasons the department is asking for a review of the landscape plans so we can come back and suture tower what report to the commission what it can and could not do but there's several options and the neighbors are very willing to work with suture tower one the problems is that this building replaced without a building permit in 1999 the suture tower was cited and for the antennas and dishes the problem with their installation on the roof is that they were several trees located in the vicinity but impacted the mike

capability we asked those dishes be relocated and the feasibility of the study is being done. >> so you see the conditions of approval. >> we've seen the conditions. >> so how do you feel if what you're asking for . >> we worked with the department an creating those we ask the condition at suture tower and the department to provide maybe status workshops every two months during the 6 month window with regards to the project so we know the landscape plan is moving forward and we can support it. >> mr. macarthur about the monitoring for two months. >> in order to add trees along the pipeline we're going to have to engage the public for the

land as well as the fire department we'll be happy to keep the neighborhood representatives abreast of those plans. >> we're close. >> we're close. >> getting closer. >> great, thank you. >> further i ask that once the landscape plan has been established with the fire department that you might make an informal presentation so we see how this is that an out i'm concerned about the 42 foot dinning room dishes is that a typo. >> it's 42 feet wide but a one story on land. >> so two story.

>> screen that. >> well, it would be in a different area. >> so visibly a tall thing on top of of the hill t-shirt not a round dish 42 feet high. >> no, it's almost like a large subway sandwich the back is a forest green and look for additional trees with the prospective you'll see from the residential neighborhood. >> the one question i ask wherever we're talking about installation of equipment i would like to have assurance that all obsolete equipment open site and tower is being removed in a timely manner when we talked about the st. francis hospital i think that same concern applies here as well

when you look at the tower 20 years ago with you only saw the silhouette of the structure no particular conditions of light during the day you see a lot more so i think the removal of obsolete equipment is really important for you all of us. >> i'm concur. >> i'm in 0 support and move. >> commissioners that is a mandatory discretionary review and the planning department staff is recommending conditions you'll have to take dr if you wish to impose. >> i recommend that the commission take dr with the conditions idle by staff. >> second. >> commissioners than there's a motion to take dr and approve that matter with the conditions proposed by staff

commissioner antonini commissioner hillis commissioner moore commissioner richards commissioner wu commissioner president fong snoements unanimously 6 to zero commissioners general public comment i have no speaker cards. >> is there any general public comment okay general public comment is closed. and the meeting is adjourned >> ever wonder about programs the city it working think to make san francisco the best
