damon on november 10 this held that the clooney community center up and say, don't have a copy of the program which also outlines the other recipients but we were happy to share the experience with the consultants on as you know a wonderful document that's right useful for the department. and the city . i will pass that along to also, at the government audit and oversight committee three contracts were considered recently. 1338: the covert street cottages, 1036 vallejo st. and 101-105 steiner. the vallejo and steiner applications went forward with positive recommendation to the full board. however, susan vance holly and mike mueller

were in attendance at the hearing and voiced concern during public comment four 1338 gilbert st. a couple of the items that concerned them are issues that concern them were, one, they felt that because he cottages which are city landmark had to be substantially rebuilt and as part of that project there is a very large addition and a very large bulk of your addition or on ground or below grade expansion to the property. they were concerned about a building of this size being eligible for the program. secondly susan brandt holly unclear about who exactly she was representing at that hearing. voiced concern about the fact that the four units had been removed from the site as part of the conditional use authorization which as you know happened a number of years ago.

the discussion that moved more towards the removal of those units rather than historic preservation issues and the committee voted to table the item. so, right now department staff and the supervisor's office for that district is working with the applicant and the committee to see if there's anything that can be addressed so that the contact can be moved forward through the process to the full board. also, tomorrow the final bill zack contract that you reviewed and approved for 361 oak st. will be considered we don't anticipate any issues with that hearing. certainly keep you posted on that. finally, i want to make you aware that tomorrow also on the cdc is meeting and they are going to consider the expansion of the water transit facilities located next to the ferry terminal. this is a

project that this commission reviewed and provided comments on two separate times and they will take up the item at their hearing tomorrow. we will certainly check back in with them and let you know what the outcome of that hearing is. that concludes my comments unless you have questions. >> no. i think we can move on >> very good that a places on commission matters for item 3 presidents report and announcements he was no report or announcements >> item for consideration of adoption of draft minutes of november 2, 2016 regular hearing. >> commissioners, any comments on the minutes? at this time will take public comment on the draft minutes for november 2 of 2016. anybody wish to speak on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. motion to adopt the minutes? >> so moved >> second >> on a motion to adopt the minutes for november 2, 2016 commissioner johns aye jong johnck aye pearlman aye hyland

earthquake and that kind of thing. the afternoon was discussing well, what about historic preservation. how are they-how are local governments around the united states look at historic preservation factors into resiliency? in fact the building speakers representing the national building organization in oh historic preservation is going backwards. we are worried that there's going to be a lot of rating systems are going to encourage local governments to do better job in saying seismic safety standards for building materials and rehab but in the middle of it we will have a historic buildings at when mark that become kind of a resiliency i live. they showed some pictures of a possibility that i think is more on the east coast where the there's one little the whole area

around this one little building was demolished with this one building actually still standing up which was an interesting reflection on this topic. but, i think what we encourage the attendees and the historic preservation foundation encourages more discussion about looking at how our secretary of interior standards for design, how we are approaching it. we, meaning the public, and whether historic preservation guidelines are keeping up with a recovery standard with the recovery time kind of factor into design. so this just a something for us to consider in the future. the port of san francisco the work along the seawall and discussed the vulnerability and how the assessment is going on. discussed some of the building issues on the pier's, etc. so

it's a big topic and it was edifying. i encourage us to consider it further at some point >> thank you. any other comets or questions bequest no. we can move on >> commissioners before we move onto the next item, i would like to bring to your attention this year's hearing schedule. you have a hearing scheduled for december 21 and staff was curious to confirm whether or not we were going to hold that as it is very close to the holidays? >> we don't really have an agenda were no agenda items that need to be held at that hearing? >> there's one on the advanced count. it's not a mustard authority spoken to the planner and a recognizes a bit of a gamble putting it on the 21st up it's entirely up to you. if
