>> this is a aerial view of the context of the project what you see is an pagers and similar sound-producing electronic devices are prohibited at this meeting. space with large industrial buildings and quite small single-family homes so it is really the full range of architects here you see the typical simple industrial building mostly single materials you know very, very sort of abstract and then the kind of smaller scale of essentially sort of work type hours that was built for the shipyards it is the mr. chairman of those two architectural context that became the architecture problem on the one hand have this

traditional architecture that is repetitive and quite dictate and this type of architecture that is singular and large-scale made of one material very start and kind of very prevalent language in the complex that is one doorway from our project on third street as you can see this campfire language is part of the architect of the context that the bigger scale and those this distorted types of bays from this project that the sort of inspiration for our continuation of the language of merging the industrial and the domestic so here a view of third street and our project on third street

as a sort of continuation of the new scale of residential buildings and another verify of our building with those folded bays that are in the sort of saw tooth language of the industrial buildings singular in the think building and detailed like the industrial buildings and here you see the existing buildings plan and our new plan with the expanded rear yard and the matching locality which responses to the lightwell of the adjacent building this is a dinning room showing the allowable heights of the project and the actual height of our building which is a full

less than what is commented this is our interpretations of the industrial type of bays and formed to the requirements of the typical bay window and the various floor plans of the project so essentially the section and the front and rear elevation with the lightwell and without the lightwell and the use of the building so like all our projects around the city we've tried to respond specifically to the particular and unique earth that is in the project and to show you some of the responses on sutter street we worked with the tradition of the wedding cake architecture on octavia and taken the victorians and reinterpreted it in a

contemporary way? our project of building contemporary architecture in the city responding to the context and being good neighbors in and respectful of the surrounding i'll be happy to answer any questions. >> we may have questions for you. >> thank you. >> any public comment on this item? not seeing none any public comment is closed. >> commissioner richards i have a question for staff as i was reading this dr it took me back to the first day on 26th after a commercial office with a residential we voted to demolish the building to build housing and it was a appealed to the board because we said we wanted more housing and bedrooms and the board voted 10 zero to

uphold the appellant that brought the case to the boards i've been looking this apart to the architecture this is mentally one way or another what we did brown-bag i'm trying to understanding from the top unit in this building a condo it is not under rent control and not occupied 26 avenue was not occupied so the commercial space is exactly the same thing. >> your question is it in rent control. >> no do to being a residential unit. >> so the one on 26 i thought it was - >> 3 units i can't remember. >> and i stand corrected i thought it was one you're sure it's not under rent control. >> my understanding 2 or more. >> i stand corrected.

>> commissioner johnson. >> thank you very much necessarily 91 percent love this project i do i love the for the most part it is multiple units and i would have professed for the parking to be in back of the building but the lot joining another lot not something we can do i'll make one comment for the designer of the building that is a soapbox i have to jump on the first designer of the building i like the way that the sort of saw face of the architecture reflects the buildings that are next to this is actually the one of the things i've noticed i go to the dog patch a lot i appreciated that the only o only thing it is a little bit dark and gloomy i know the glass

facade i'm not sure if this is a renderings or what but if we could find ways to light even that it is mostly a glass exterior for the framing but maybe the architect can address that. >> the renderings the plating is actually new glazing system between the two sheets of glass a honey comic material means when you look at it directly through it, it is very transparent but as soon as you're at an am it is more o pack so it is available in two

colors you know darker color and we are going to use the white color the building will be a lot lighter and the city is obsessed with white buildings in san francisco all the buildings are white because all the pictures i see of the city that are when the city was beautiful and becoming what it is were black and white and it was terry take care han ran so the building will be light and the renderings dark. >> that brought any 92 up to 9 k through 12 percent i love it i hope the interior they consider pastel in the future the other thing love the project supportive in the soapbox it was

a mixed use building and although the use phase on the bottom i believe was empty for a while on art gallery or whatever i got and always make that pitch for retail space along third street we've seen buildings built workplace dog patch that are part of the eastern neighborhood they make the argument they don't need the retail space so have buildings up on the third street that don't consoled retail it makes it hardly harder it makes our job difficult we're seeing spaces that were mixed use now left with fewer and fewer retail space not for this project but next week we have a project off of third street they say the foot traffic is only third

clearly that's not always the case good job. >> commissioner antonini and well, one of the crazy the project conserves the neighborhood character and the staff said that will constructing the replacement building as the malayans and roofline it looks like everything is punched windows we don't see too many all glass windows in dog patch that's not compatible with the neighborhood and even in the stricken out building and definitely windows it seems to be out of place to me in the dog patch so i'm sure i can be supportive of the design but the rest is a great idea provides housing and

single-family units and very good use. >> commissioner moore. >> thanks god we can still design good contemporary architecture it's a great building i'm glad you have the ability to have a white comic materials i wish i could see an example but knowing in the past your rendering are darker then what you want to do i feel comfortable and in full support of the building i like the way of interpreting the bay i think it is a small building and good juxtapose indication i move not to take dr and approve the demolition and i'm not sure from the demolition is part of our approval it is that's what i'm asking for . >> second and commissioner

johnson. >> just take commissioner antonini definitely understand the sentiment there's a number of new projects and what not you have sort of larger glass windows and the facade is not hundred percent glass so there's persistent for this style. >> there is a motion and a second to not take dr and approve commissioner antonini. >> commissioner johnson and commissioner moore commissioner richards commissioner wu and president fong so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 68 to zero and places you iuoe on general public comment i have i have no speaker cards. >> is there any general public comment seeing none general

public comment is closed. and the meeting is >> feel like it really is a community. they are not the same thing but it really does feel like there's that kind of a five. everybody is there to enjoy a literary reading. >> the best lit in san francisco. friendly, free and you might get fed. ♪ [applause] >> this san francisco ryther created the radar reading series

environment for everybody. there is no cultural barrier to entry. >> the demographic of people who come will match the demographic of the reader. it is very simple. if we want more people of color, you book more people of color. you want more women, your book more women. kind of like that. it gets mixed up a little bit. in general, we kind of have a core group of people who come every month. their ages and very. we definitely have some folks who are straight. >> the loyal audience has allowed michelle to take more chances with the monthly lineup. established authors bring in an older audience. younker authors bring in their

i hope everyone is good. i hope the audience likes them. i hope everybody shows up. but everything works out. at the end of the reading, everyone is happy. ♪ today we are going to talk about fire safety. we are here at the urban center on mission street in san francisco. it's a wonderful display. a little house in the urban center exhibition center that shows what it's like in a home in san francisco after an earthquake. one of the major issues that we are going to face after earthquakes are fire

hazard. we are happy to have the fire marshall join us today. >> thank you. my pleasure. >> we talk about the san francisco earthquake that was a fire that mostly devastated the city. how do we avoid that kind of problem. how can we reduce fire hazard? >> the construction was a lot different. we don't expect what we had then. we want to make sure with the gas heaters that the gas is shut off. >> if you shut it off you are going to have no hot water or heat. be careful not to shut it off unless you smell gas. >> absolutely because once you do shut it off you should have the utility company come in and turn it back on.

here is a mock up of a gas hear the on a house. where would we find the gas meter? >> it should be in your garage. everyone should be familiar with where the gas meter is. >> one of the tools is a wrench, a crescent wrench. >> yes. the crescent wrench is good and this is a perfect example of how to have it so you can loosen it up and use it when you need it. >> okay. let's go inside to talk about fire safety. many of the issues here relate to fire, for example, we have a little smoke detector and i see you brought one here, a carbon

monoxide smoke detector. >> this is a combination of smoke and carbon monoxide detector. they are required in single homes now and in apartment buildings. if gas appliance is not burning properly this will alert you before the fumes buildup and will affect you negatively. >> this is a battery powered? >> this is a battery powered and it has a 10 year battery life. a lot of times you may have one or the other. if you put in just a carbon monoxide detector, it's important to have one of these too. every house should have a fire extinguisher yes. >> one thing people expect to do when the power goes out

after an earthquake about using candles. what would you recommend? >> if you have a battery operated candle would be better to use. this kind of a candle, you wouldn't want it in an area where it can cause a fire or aftershock that it doesn't rollover. you definitely want to have this in a non-combustible surface. >> now, here we have our stove. after a significant earthquake we expect that we may have gas disrupted and so without gas in your home how are you going to cook? >> well, i wouldn't recommend cooking inside of the house. you have to go outside and use a portable stove or something

else. >> so it wouldn't be safe to use your fireplace to cook? >> not at first. you should check it by a professional first. >> outside should be a safe place to cook as long as you stay away from buildings and doors and windows. >> yes. that will be fine. >> here we have some alternative cooking areas. >> you can barbecue and if you have a regular propane bark could barbecue. >> thank you for joining us. and thanks for this terrific space that you have in this exhibition space and thanks for
