opened a checking account at hi burnia bank in 1982 and the checks had a pick clr of the building on them and sorry the bank was closed in 1985. it is truly tragic this billings and the old menth have been inaccessible by the public for so many years and the old mint, don't get me started on that. this building i'm glad the project is going on and looking forward to the aability of the public to see the interior of this amazing building again in the not too distance future. as far as the issues today, i leave it to you to make the right decision in your experience and wisdom. i wanted to raise one fairly small issue which had not

[inaudible] discussion back at a hearing i attended at 2011 or 12. that is at the corner othf building just under the dome where it says the hi burnia bank, there was discussion as to whether that modern signage could be removed to expose the name on the granite that said hi burnia savings and loan society and sure you have seen photographs of how that looked. at the time i atndsed the previous hear there was uncertainty whether it can be done. i would favor restoring the original engraved identification if that is possible so cureier to know if there is further information on that and thank you. >> thank you. any other member of the public wish to speak? seeing and hearing none we'll close public comment and bring it back to the commission. comments? do i have a motion?

90-92 second street. this is a 2 story brick commercial building constructed between 1903 and 1904 and designed by bliss and [inaudible] the building was placed on the land mark designation program may the 12, 2012. the building appears eligible for land mark [inaudible] 1906 earthquake and fire. we sometimes forget what a moments event in san francisco history and the most significant event in the cities history. the fire destroyed 500 square blocks and left a quarter million people homeless. the building was unprecedented in the scope. it ranks as one of the worst dejaster izin the history of the u.s. and the burr det

building is [inaudible] reduced to ashs, the 2 story brick building remained all most undamaged. within the interity of the burned district it is the only building to survive with contents intact and windows unbroken and not defended from the flames inside or outside the building. it is following the disaster crowds gathered in front of the [inaudible] astonished. today it is a direct and taskable link to a moment in time. a touch stone when olds san francisco was destroyed and a new city are built. the building has architectural significance of the type and period. there are no other small scale buildings in san francisco that survived the disaster thus the building is significant as commercial construction prior to 1906. it was also a work by nob nub who were one of the most prolific

firms in san francisco. 3 san francisco land marks and several other properties listed on the national registry of historic place. the burr det building offers interpretation of the [inaudible] before during and after the fire. located ajaistant to the palace hotel and the call building which then was the tallest building west of the mississippi and the examer of the call and chronicle. many reporters on hand to take paragraphs and document the movement of the fire. there is nonone public or neighborhood opposition. the department staff reached out to the building owners but haven't received formal notice in support of or in opposition. this conclude my program and happy to answer questions >> commissioners does anyone

have questions? commissioner johnck >> jonathan beautiful report and presentation but i guess the question is about the attitude of the owner. do we pursue that? i can't remember whether we have to have official approval or support? >> tim fry detarmt staff. commissioners owner support is not required as part of the code but we do make ever effort to engage the property owner. before the board of supervisors hearing we would like some sort of written position by the owners and will continue to pursue that up until that time and then to point out this is a nishiation hearing so by the time of the next hearing before this commission, we hope to have something on hand. >> no other questions? thank

you. we'll move to public comment. any member of the public wish to comment on this item? seeing and hearing none close public comment and bring it back to the commission >> i move we approve. >> i have a-commissioner hyland has a comment with a little discussion. >> i just wanted to say it was glad to see oorkt landmark nishiation move forward and thank you for your effortss >> i sucd that motion >> any other discussion? commissioner pearlman >> this was a challenge for me. at some level we look at buildsings for so many reasons and this one has its moment in time, its brush with history as you know the building where maybe a bottle fell off the bar

but that was about it and survooived in tact which is pretty remarkable. a lot of that doesn't necessarily have to do with the structure itself, it could have to do the wind or how the earthquake shook so there are lots of reasons why certain things happen. then we look at the significant piece of work for the architects and this is not a shiny examples. they have done spectacular work in srf. if we look at commercial buildsings, we looked at the rl goldburg building and that was a particularly intact, excellent commercial building of its moment in time and its day and still in tact cht it isn't think this shouldn't be a land mark. i feel there are protections already in place for this building because it is in a conservation district so it is part of the second street

new month gumry area and that i think as i mentioned in the last hearing, philadelphia has a plag prac and if we had a prac like that, that is a way within the conservation district we can identify this particular building as being substantial and important because of the fact it did survive the earthquake. you know as we look at landmarking buildsings, we say to the public, these are the things we think are significant and important to the city of san francisco and we do that with the conservation and historic district so i feel we have kind of done that and the only thing we haven't said is wait, this particular building is important because this is what happened in the 06 earthquake. it just feels very under wellm as a landmark relative to a lot

of criteria we usually look at and it may reach a level to be a landmark i'm not sure it is one i get really excited about in terms of so many of the others we are looking at for all the different stories especially when they are cultural stories like the market book store where it wasn't about the architecture either and that was a interestingical churl story. i'm willing to vote for it, i just wanted to put out that as a thought. >> thank you for your comments. commissioner johns >> thank you. of course it is not a spectacular building, but the entire city before the fire and earthquake was not uniformly spectacular and i do thing that it is worth while to preserve the quite as well as the showy. this is as was pointed out, one of the very

few buildings of its type that are left. to me it fact that it survived without help inside our outside is interesting but fairly trivial. but i was empressed that it is a modest building and one of the few examples of that. that kind of building that is left is the reason why i move to approve it. >> thank you. commissioner hyland >> not to belabor this but i would say i appreciate your comments commissioner pearlman but for me this building is actually really small eeben in relation to the other buildsings that were built in the neighborhood and i would propose or support the landmarking of just because of that and the development that is happening all over south of

market and the scale that is coming up out of the ground, i think it is important to actually recognize this particular building because it isn't 2 stories. >> any other-i would actually concur with commissioner pearlman. i thank you for your comment and i recognize that the historic importance of the building but do feel it is well protected in the conservation district and could have amended that to include a part of this report so i do agree. do i have a motion? there is a motion. okay. >> commissioner there is a motion and second to adopt the rez dugz to nishiate on that rez dugz, missions hasz, yes y johnck, yes, johns, yes, matsuda, yes. [inaudible] the motion passes 7 to 0. no other

items on your regular calendar. commissioners matsuda and hyland will remain for the cultural heritage hearing >> the cultural heritage commission meeting is adjourned. on election day, when
