police. just speak into the mic so we can hear you. >> and mr. lamb remind me that i am as an owner on that street and i can add two units, too. and one is for privacy for my tenant downstairs and with the possible extension later and facing back on will have another d.r. and for now support this d.r. and i am so tire and i don't want to go through that process later and that is why i requested this and design wise, you can dot not do it. >> thank you. next speaker please. >> for my concern, i want to make sure that this project is

specific to what the height of this roof is because for now it's out of scale, out of scope and is parallel roof to mine and i proved that it's a gap much with a bigger gap than that. it's already in this part is already illegal. and i want to emphasize with the housing crisis at this point, but definitely mr. lamb is a developer, a contractor. this three units definitely would pocket him for three, basically condominiums. that would be breaking out and take away the housing market again. and the houses converted to condominiums and will be a pocket to have the $5 million project and that is why i am

opposing this and because it is for my own right and the corner and what i reserve in my property to the light well. to be built to one and the second and third floor can combine to another housing unit for the housing occupation. if he has a way to show that unit is 30% of the building devoted to housing, you would support that, but to have this into his own space into his own pocket is unfair. >> you have a two-minute rebuttal. >> we are sensitive about the shadow impacts. there are no shadow after noon. most of the shadow is caused

here by 2414 the existing wild building. we can talk about more detail if the commission is interested. thank you. >> thank you. that concludes this portion of the hearing. commissioner moore? >> this is a very interesting solution to make a three-unit building out of a family three-story building is sensitively done and well sized well sized units for feature reference and i don't see that the light well is not really an issue when it comes to matching light wells with critical roles on either side and with that light well against a black well is covered that is the convenience of the owner of the property who has the light well

removes the roof and perhaps also paints a light color will be enough reflectivity to helping with whatever would illuminate. the issue of concerns about where the windows are for bedrooms. and one and two are in the correct space. they align laterally which prevents intrusion of privacy or looking into it. there are many, many buildings just like it around the city. where windows have similar and are separated by the window itself. regarding the d.r. questions on comments and varying heights, nothing in the drawing set that mr. winslow can perhaps shed any light on it which is a misrepresentation because this is an existing building as built. we are looking at as built and

adaptation as built. the fudging of heights, etc., is somewhat unlikely. perhaps mr. winslow could chime in on that particular comment. >> i am not as familiar with the drawings as i should be -- i inherited this project very recently. the project has been raised 17 inches without the benefit of permit. once that was discovered through the 311 notification process, it was addressed with the horizontal addition. so the drawings should be accurate to my knowledge. the photographs most certainly are because they represent an existing condition. >> there is another question about increased demand for parking and an n.c.d. do i not consider that to be an issue and nor is that really addressed with what the planning commission considers. and it's an issue with transit and relate more to neighborhood retail than impacting what residential needs to do here. i am in support of the project.

my own suggestion is not to take d.r., but i'm curious what other commissioners have to say. >> president hillis: thank you. commissioner koppel? >> i think the architect did a good job sensitively designing this to match the rear of the property to the neighbor with the side setbacks and the addition of two units. i'm all in support. >> president hillis: -- >> tell us what the deal was please. >> could the architect come up to get this story? >> i am pretty sure she will agree to everything except one guy balked. the current drawing at the lightwell isn't drawn right. it shows it lines up at the top and the confusion is o that the building was raised 17 inches. the only request that the light well is you squish the roof to the minimum that you can which is doable.

at the back of the building, you squish the roof to the minimum you can so you don't create anymore peak. you flatten it out. the very back, you scoot over 18 inches. that backspace so you can take the window spacing to the west. and you can then put them in the window spacing to the north, so you don't have windows looking at each other. but you have plenty of window looking north. and then there is a little fin off the second floor because two windows are lining up like this. >> could you take a drawing and show us this? >> it is really hard to follow. >> and one neighbor said no and i said, you are wrong. this is a good project. we need three units. the idea would be -- >> pull it down. >> talk into the mic. >> pull it down. you scoot this part of the building over 18 inches, so that you can then put a window right

there. and then you don't need these windows. >> how many windows are in that? >> three windows. >> three win dose, three floors, all turned to the north so that becomes a blind wall. no one is looking at each other. >> less windows, though, right? from three into the east bedroom to one. >> she wants to build on this side, you don't have matching windows looking at each other. and only on the second floor where this window and the other window lines up, put a little fin out so it goes out this far. thats an it. >> commissioners, and from f.s. consulting. i believe what he brought up in my view is the bedrooms are

centered to the sideened a the new project to mitigate that with the direct access from the concern. and i am afraid that is going to add to the shadow that is cast from the d.r. requester's property. what can be done is windows that definitely mitigate any sound transmission. >> they will stop any other appeals.

>> u yo need to speak into the mic. >> the neighbor on the side couldn't accept the squishing down of the roof next to the lightwell because she believed she had access to more light and i had to explain to her you don't have access to the neighbor's property for any light. i think she's come to terms with that is not going to go and work out and we may not take d.r. and the neighbors get nothing. >> motion to not take d.r. and approve as proposed. >> second. >> and that doesn't preclude you from continuing the discussion and making those changes. so the motion and a second. >> an indeed there is. on the motion to not take d.r. and approve as proposed. commissioner fong fong. >> commissioner johnson. >> commissioner koppel. >> a commissioner moore.

>> a commissioner richards. >> a commissioner melgar. >> and commissioner president hillis. that motion passes unanimously 7-0. >> with that, the meeting is adjourned. thank you.

coordinate a response. police officers, firefighters, ambulances or any other agency. it is a great feeling when everyone gets to go home safely at the end of the day knowing that you've also saved a citizen's life. >> our department operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. >> this is shift work. that means we work nights, weekends and holidays and can involve over time and sometimes that's mandatory. >> this is a high stress career so it's important to have a good balance between work and life. >> we have resources available like wellness and peer support groups. our dispatchers of the month are recognized for their outstanding performance and unique and ever changing circumstances. >> i received an accommodation and then i received dispatcher of the month, which was really nice because i was just released from the phones. so for them to, you know, recognize me for that i appreciated it.

i was surprised to even get it. at the end of the day i was just doing my job. >> a typical dispatch shift includes call taking and dispatching. it takes a large dedicated group of fifrst responders to make ths department run and in turn keep the city safe. >> when you work here you don't work alone, you work as part of a team. you may start off as initial phone call or contact but everyone around you participating in the whole process. >> i was born and raised in san francisco so it's really rewarding to me to be able to help the community and know that i have a part in -- you know, even if it's behind the scenes kind of helping the city flow and helping people out that live here. >> the training program begins with our seven-week academy followed by on the job training. this means you're actually taking calls or dispatching responders. >> you can walk in with a high school diploma, you don't need to have a college degree. we will train you and we will

teach you how to do this job. >> we just need you to come with an open mind that we can train you and make you a good dispatcher. >> if it's too dangerous to see and you think that you can get away and call us from somewhere safe. >> good. that's right. >> from the start of the academy to being released as a solo dispatcher can take nine months to a year. >> training is a little over a year and may change in time. the training is intense. very intense. >> what's the number one thing that kills people in this country? so we're going to assume that it's a heart attack, right? don't forget that. >> as a new hire we require you to be flexible. you will be required to work all shifts that include midnights, some call graveyard, days and swings. >> you have to be willing to work at different times, work during the holidays, you have to

work during the weekends, midnight, 6:00 in the morning, 3:00 in the afternoon. that's like the toughest part of this job. >> we need every person that's in here and when it comes down to it, we can come together and we make a really great team and do our best to keep the city flowing and safe. >> this is a big job and an honorable career. we appreciate your interest in joining our team. >> we hope you decide to join us here as the first first responders to the city and county of san francisco. for more information on the job and how to apply follow the links below.

city to develop a legacy business registration. >> i'm michael cirocco and the owner of an area bakery. ♪ the bakery started in 191. my grandfather came over from italy and opened it up then. it is a small operation. it's not big. so everything is kind of quality that way. so i see every piece and cut every piece that comes in and out of that oven. >> i'm leslie cirocco-mitchell, a fourth generation baker here with my family. ♪ so we get up pretty early in the morning. i usually start baking around 5:00. and then you just start doing rounds of dough.

loaves. >> my mom and sister basically handle the front and then i have my nephew james helps and then my two daughters and my wife come in and we actually do the baking. after that, my mom and my sister stay and sell the product, retail it. ♪ you know, i don't really think about it. but then when i -- sometimes when i go places and i look and see places put up, oh this is our 50th anniversary and everything and we've been over 100 and that is when it kind of hits me. you know, that geez, we've been here a long time. [applause] ♪ >> a lot of people might ask why our legacy business is important. we all have our own stories to tell about our ancestry. our lineage and i'll use one example of tommy's joint.

tommy's joint is a place that my husband went to as a child and he's a fourth generation san franciscan. it's a place we can still go to today with our children or grandchildren and share the stories of what was san francisco like back in the 1950s. >> i'm the general manager at tommy's joint. people mostly recognize tommy's joint for its murals on the outside of the building. very bright blue. you drive down and see what it is. they know the building. tommy's is a san francisco hoffa, which is a german-style presenting food. we have five different carved meats and we carve it by hand at the station. you prefer it to be carved whether you like your brisket fatty or want it lean. you want your pastrami to be

very lean. you can say i want that piece of corn beef and want it cut, you know, very thick and i want it with some sauerkraut. tell the guys how you want to prepare it and they will do it right in front of you. san francisco's a place that's changing restaurants, except for tommy's joint. tommy's joint has been the same since it opened and that is important. san francisco in general that we don't lose a grip of what san francisco's came from. tommy's is a place that you'll always recognize whenever you lock in the door. you'll see the same staff, the same bartender and have the same meal and that is great. that's important. ♪

>> the service that san francisco heritage offers to the legacy businesses is to help them with that application process, to make sure that they really recognize about them what it is that makes them so special here in san francisco. ♪ so we'll help them with that application process if, in fact, the board of supervisors does recognize them as a legacy business, then that does entitle them to certain financial benefits from the city of san francisco. but i say really, more importantly, it really brings them public recognition that this is a business in san francisco that has history and that is unique to san francisco. >> it started in june of 1953. ♪

and we make everything from scratch. everything. we started a you -- we started a off with 12 flavors and mango fruits from the philippines and then started trying them one by one and the family had a whole new clientele. the business really boomed after that. >> i think that the flavors we make reflect the diversity of san francisco. we were really surprised about the legacy project but we were thrilled to be a part of it. businesses come and go in the city. pretty tough for businesss to stay here because it is so expensive and there's so much competition. so for us who have been here all these years and still be popular and to be recognized by

the city has been really a huge honor. >> we got a phone call from a woman who was 91 and she wanted to know if the mitchells still owned it and she was so happy that we were still involved, still the owners. she was our customer in 1953. and she still comes in. but she was just making sure that we were still around and it just makes us feel, you know, very proud that we're carrying on our father's legacy. and that we mean so much to so many people. ♪ >> it provides a perspective. and i think if you only looked at it in the here and now, you're missing the context. for me, legacy businesses, legacy bars and restaurants are really about setting the context for how we come to be

where we are today. >> i just think it's part of san francisco. people like to see familiar stuff. at least i know i do. >> in the 1950s, you could see a picture of tommy's joint and looks exactly the same. we haven't change add thing. >> i remember one lady saying, you know, i've been eating this ice cream since before i was born. and i thought, wow! we have, too. >> for the first time in nearly two decades fishers have been granted the legal right to sell fish directly to the package right off their boat -- to the public right off their boats in san francisco. it's not only helping local fishers to stay afloat but it's evoking the spirit of the wharf by resurfacing the traditional methods of selling fish. but how is it regulated? and what does it take for a boat

to be transported into a floating fish market? find out as we hop on board on this episode of "what's next sf." (♪) we're here with the owner and the captain of the vessel pioneer. it's no coincidence that your boat is called the pioneer because it's doing just that. it's the first boat in san francisco to sell fish directly from the boat. how did you establish your boat into such a floating fish market? >> well, you know, i always thought that it would be nice to be able to provide fresh fish to the locals because most of the fish markets, you would have to do a large amount of volume in order to bring in enough fish to cover the overhead. when you start selling to the public that volume is much less so it makes it hard to make enough money. so being able to do this is really -- it's a big positive thing i think for the entire community. >> a very positive thing. as a third-generation fisherman

joe as his friends call him has been trawling the california waters for sustainably caught seafood since an early age. since obtaining a permit to sell fish directly to the public he is able to serve fish at an affordable price. >> right now we're just selling what a lot of the markets like, flat fish and rock fish and what the public likes. so we have been working for many, many years and putting cameras in them. there's the ability to short fish and we have panels that we open and close so we target the different species of fish by adjusting the net. and then not only that but then the net sort out the sizes which is really important. >> joe brings in a lot of fish, around 20,000 pounds per fishing trip to be exact. >> we had one day one time that we sold almost 18,000 pounds. >> it's incredible. >> i know, it's hard to imagine. >> but this wasn't always the case for joe. >> the markets that we have left in california, they're few and far between, and they really are

restrictive. they'll let you fish for a couple months and shut you down. a lot of times it's rough weather and if you can't make your delivery you will lose your rotation. that's why there's hardly any boats left in california because of the market challenges. my boat was often sitting over here at the dock for years and i couldn't do anything with it because we had no market. the ability to go catch fish is fine, i had the permits, but you couldn't take them off your boat. >> that was until the port commission of san francisco rallied behind them and voted unanimously to approve a pilot program to allow the fish to be sold directly to consumers right off their boats. >> the purpose of the program is to allow commercial fishers to sell their fish directly from their boats to the end consumer in a safe and orderly manner for the benefit of the overall fishing community at the port of san francisco. we have limited the program to certain types of fish such as salmon, halibut, tuna and rock

fish. crab is restricted from this program because we did not want to interfere with the existing crab sales on taylor street and jefferson street. so this is not meant to favor one aspect of the fishing industry more than another. it's to basically to lift up the whole industry together. >> and if joe the program has been doing just that. >> it was almost breathtaking whenever i woke up one morning and i got my federal receiver, my first receivers license in the mail. and that gave me permission to actually take fish off my boat. once we started to be able to sell, it opened things up a bit. because now that we have that federal permit and i was able to ppetition the city council and getting permission from san francisco to actually use the dock and to sell fish here, it was a big turning point. because we really didn't think or know that we'd get such a positive response from the public. and so we're getting thousands of people coming down here

buying fish every week and so that's pretty cool. they like the fish so much that they take pictures of it when they cook it and they send us all of these pictures and then they ask us, you know, constantly for certain types of fish now. and when they come down here the one thing that they say is that they're so amazed that the fish is so fresh they could eat a little bit during the week and it's still fresh all week in the refrigerator. so that's really cool. >> the fish is very fresh and the price is super. i don't think that you can get it anywhere in the bay area. i can see it, and i can stir fry it, wow, you can do anything you want. i just can say this is a good place to shop and you have a good experience. >> this program supports the strategic plan in terms of engagement, people being connected to the waterfront, and also economic vitality.

because it's helping the fishermen to make ends meet. they have no guarantees in their businesses, not like some people, and we want to do everything that we can to help them to have a good and thriving business. >> how does it feel to be able to sell your fish locally kind of in the traditional way, like your grandfather probably did? >> when i was a kid and i used to work in my dad's fish market, a lot of the markets that we sell to now are second and third and fourth generation markets. so i remember as a kid putting their tags on the boxes of fish that we shipped out of monterey and ship down to l.a. so it's kind of cool that we're still dealing with the same families. and this is probably about the only way that anyone can really survive in california is to sell your own fish. >> one of the advantages of this program is the department people that pull in the fish, they can find out where they caught it and find out more about the

fisherman and that adds to their experience. the feedback from the fishers has been very good and the feedback from the customers have very good. and there's a lot of people coming to the wharf now that might not have done so. in fact, there's people that go through the neighboring restaurants that are going to eat fish inside but before they go in they see the action on the dock and they want to kind of look at what's happening on the boat before they go in and they have a meal. so it's generated some conversation down at the wharf and that's a good thing. >> as you can see by the line forming behind me getting ready to buy fish, the pilot program has been a huge success. for more information visit sfsport.com.
