>> good afternoon, commissioners. i'm bruno kantor and represent northeast neighbors on the northeast water front advisory committee. i've seen the project go from its initial stages. i've been impressed by the amount of community outreach to the local organizations and north beach neighbors and new-ag. i was glad to see they came with open ears and eyes and made adjustment to the project as it developed and they were hearing from us, the articulation and i saw a lot of development of the project and appreciate the sponsors brought the project to the community very early in the initial concept phase of the

building. do do appreciate that and think what's resulted is a great project we see as perhaps the broadway embarcadero connection and see it as a gateway to north beach and think this building will suit that role for the project. what else can i say? the arts. teatro zinzanni our community will be stronger if they are support. it's been a fixture in our community for some time and glad to see it come back in the form of the building and it's a world class city and it deserves world class art that along with the park, everything we've seen is doing it for the community. >> commissioner: thank you, next

speaker, please. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i'm kelly powers with the hotel association of san francisco. we need more hotels. it's in a unique neighborhood. i think the new hotel will be a tremendous asset to not only the public but as a job creator to allow for more jobs in the city and then hotel guests, they spend their investment on the hotel room and spend three times as much outside the room. so the businesses are transportation, restaurants and retail those would benefit from a project such as this. i like to remind visitors and convention goers investing in the community. and the company is a fabulous

family entertainment. i had the pleasure of going many time when it was in its former location. i invited my parents and my kids. they're young adults now but when it gets opened up again i enjoy going back particularly now that beach blanket babylon is closed. this will fill a tremendous void in the city for families and local guests to come and enjoy. thank you very much. >> commissioner: thank you, next speaker, please. >> hello, i'm a local costume designer artist in the area for years and renter and muni bus cleaner. i'd like to get my job back at teatro zinzanni and i think what we bring is joy, excitement,

laster, ethereal beauty and skill and celebration of the non linear irreverent sublime spectacle and transformation and i'll speed date you through a few photographs. this is caesar riding through in his chariot by pigeons. thooem these people may crawl up next to you. it's as close as you can possibly get. our aerialists are of the highest grade. they'll bring a tear to your eye

and touch with their beauty. they're ridiculous. i don't think anybody knows how much it take to make a costume. i probably personally support dyso and it's made of 25 and head bands. it's going to become an alien. we did crazy dresses before lady gaga showed up at the grammys in hers. the green fairy in a beautiful dress. made locally and don't forget she's on a swing over your head. coming to seattle and hope it

comes here, a waitress played by a drag queen. and there's another one on the back. and so transformation over audience and they go out to the street. they bring the joy that they have assumed and gathered when a little group of people that goes into a space becomes a community. so please bring it back quickly. thank you. >> commissioner: thank you. next speaker, please. >> i'm cathy rosen a producer and i handled the rigging to the costume budget to the scheduling and i'd like to speak on behalf of all the performers and skilled stagehands, technicians that work at the site.

not only do we produce a show that spread joy and inspiration around the community but the performers actually go out in the community and work at different circus centers in town. it's not just our site but we're also inspiring the kids or the professional performers that attend the other sir -- circus centers and we're the home of new circus beginning with the mind troupe and pickle circus. we need a pinnacle of world class performers from hand balancers from cuba and jugglers from france. we are the epitome of world class circus in the bay area. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, commissioner. i'm r.j. fer ari. i'm a business rep for pipe

fitters. the group says yes to the project. it's a win-win and they've checked every box. we're glad to have them back. i've never been but i want to go. the union hotel is a win-win for san francisco and urge you to support this. >> commissioner: thank you. next speaker, please. >> thank you members for allowing me to speak. i'm a member of carpenters local 22. i'm speaking in favor of the teatro zinzanni project. the project will allow apprentices like me to learn the carpenter trade while continuing my career as a carpenter and eventually towards retirement and give me a living wage to provide the necessary income and benefits to provide for my family. i'm in full support of the

teatro zinzanni project and ask you pass the project and allow the opportunity to have a responsible general contractor build the project. thank you. >> commissioner: thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, vice president koppel and fellow members and welcome commissioner fong. i'm a field representative with carpenter's local 22. i'm here to ask for your support for the project. the development committed to ugiu ug using a union contractor to provide a good wage and provide health and retirement benefits and it will provide training and educational opportunities for those entering the carpentry trade through apprenticeship. this includes women, minority and veterans. i'd like to thank you for the opportunity to speak and urge

you pass this process and take a look at the members here who would possibly work on the project. thank you and have a good afternoon. >> commissioner: thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i'm ron campbell. i'm an actor, circus performer and feel uniquely qualified to speak on behalf of teatro zinzanni having experienced it from center stage. a pel to your reason. -- appeal to your reason. i used a computer in my pocket to look up reason and it's both a noun and verb. it's a noun for a justification and explanation and it's a verb the power to think and form judgment. i know you here in the hauls have to hear so many people describe their needs and make judgment on the needs.ls have

to hear so many people describe their needs and make judgment on the needs.ls have to hear so many people describe their needs and make judgment on the needs. san francisco needs teatro zinzanni. i used to be pushing 50, now i'm pulling it. i was an actor and had to branch out so i started writing and directing and ran away with the circus in the form of teatro zinzanni. i later joined cirque du soleil and toured north and south america, japan and europe. i think it's right for know say now, i don't do this acting thing because i want to. i do it because if i don't, i'll die. it's important to me as breath. so i know there are many reasons to come to san francisco. i came 35 years ago for an acting job to play mr. fuller. i was amazed by the natural

beauty and the seven glorious hills and the diversity and wildness of what san francisco is. recently, i have been struck by the increased homelessness and rampant gentrification. the congestion and pollution and i have to ask myself, why am i still here? why am i staying here and living here and the millions who visit here, come here? i think it's because the circus may indeed be in town. with your help it can stay in town. that's my reason to speak to you today so thank you so much. they asked reagan in shakespeare's king lear her father why he needs a new one and he's a recently homeless man and he said reason not the need. so thank you for your reasonable consideration of the issue.

>> thank you, next speaker, please. >> i'm here with the barberry coast association. this is in the middle of our neighborhood so our neighbors will see it every day and walk by every day. we submitted a letter in full support and think it will add architecture and eight of to the area along with the spectacle of the artist and theatre. i also want to commend the project sponsors they met with us from the beginning and

addressed any concerns we raised over that period of time. in conclusion, i want to say i would urge you to support and approve this project. >> commissioner: thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, commissioner. i'm bill hannon. the vice president of the golden gateway tenants association. our members live two blocks southwest of the site. we're very close neighbors and support the project wholeheartedly. there's been community outreach over the last several years. we were acquaint with the design and very much like the design. as you know it complies with the existing height limit. there will be no pile driving during the project and we hope au prove -- you approve it. >> commissioner: thank you, next

speaker, please. >> good afternoon. i'm danny sauder the press of north beach neighbors. this is a project you're board and members support. if this was just a discussion about the park or venue or hotel, that would be one thing but it's a package and the chance to get them together is a rare opportunity and we think it's a set of changes that will improve that area. the engagement with the project team has been superb. we've had them before our board and before our members multiple times. they've been receptive to feedback. as previously mentioned with he blanket babylon closing soon we think can't happen soon enough. we've had a number of restaurants come to us about the dwindling amount of traffic and people in the neighborhood that will go. people are looking for new

attractions and the entertainment venue. and we're excited how the area is shaping up. we thank you and ask for your support. >> commissioner: thank you, next speaker, please. >> i'm with the san francisco travel association and here to voice support for the project it will bring a new entertainment venue for a cultural event uniquely san francisco and hotel rooms we very much need. last year we welcomed nearly 26 million visitors who spent $10 billion here. that translates to $770 million for the general fund and we want to make san francisco a more compelling distinction --

destination to we can support the community as a whole. >> commissioner: thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, planning commissioners. i'm the development project major at the park for the project. i request you approve the port being offered. the development site is to provide benefit for the port, community and state including the following. it's a gateway to north beach and chinatown neighborhood to the west and fisherman's wharf to the north and to create an additional point along the water front and provide public access amenities which i like the newly-created points of interest along the water front.

a public park has been provided. creation of jobs and revenues for both the port and city about 415 construction jobs are projected and approximately 118 permanent jobs are also projected. the site will further connect the city to the water front and water front to be connected to the city. to retain teatro zinzanni in san francisco is encouraging the use of city and county property for indoor and outdoor music and other cultural events to enhance san francisco's venue for displacement. it has limited height and limited available development

density and it is surrounded by many architectural icons to which whatever is built on it must be paid due respect. the design as evolved is formed with constructive feedback from planning department staff and community and the result is a project that will be a unique addition to our believed -- beloved water front. we recommend your approval. >> commissioner: thank you. next speaker, please. >> sheet metal workers local 104. i'll make it brief. we too support the project. mr. wallace the project sponsor engaged with us early on and committed to hiring local union contractors and invests tourist

dollars back in the economy and the hard-earned middle class wages back into the economy for the city and port. we look forward to your support. >> commissioner: thank you. next speaker, please. >> i'm with teatro zinzanni since it began in seattle and san francisco. we've worked on the project since 2011. we'd like to think the port of san francisco for all their work with us and the city of san francisco as well as our partner. jay wallace and others in putting this together. what we're really looking forward to is putting people back to work in the art. in our kitchen, in our administrative areas and all the areas. as ricky stated that's over

hundreds of people. we appreciate your time and energy. we're super excited to hopefully be coming back. thank you so much. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, commissioners. normally i'm advocating on behalf of union construction workers and contractors. today i just want to speak about what it means for me. the first non-profit job in the city was as business manager of a circus. years ago when these guys set up my wife had gone to this thing and absolutely enjoyed it. the fact is all the disruption we've been seeing in san francisco about the art community is for us. our kids are the ones who get to

see these incredible performances and get inspired. we have to move it forward not just for jay and the hundreds of workers but just for us. >> commissioner: thank you. would anyone else like to comment on this ite snem -- item? if not, public comment's closed. i want to take a second and remind everybody this circus tent was in operation and the america's cup moved them out. lots of people lost their job overnight. it's a tremendous opportunity if approved here today. it's great to see all the support here. lots of support, lots of positive, passionate support. i've been to a lot of bars and night clubs and events all over the city this is in my opinion the best night out in san francisco hands down.

it's international, demonstrate, art, culture, hospitality, comedy, dance and circus performances. it's unlike anything else i've ever experienced in san francisco. that was my first comment. also, i wanted to acknowledge the project sponsor for stepping up early on and committing to not just using the building trade for the temporary construction but also with the permanent staffing through the labor council with the hotel workers and security officers and what not. again, as far as i'm concerned i'm in full support of this project today and we'll see what the other commissioners have to say. commissioner hillis. >> >> commissioner: it was a great performance. i got to see it half a dozen

times and i was part of the team to get it here when it came from seattle. we've seen changes in the water front but sometime the western side suffers. we still have surface parking lots that ned to be used to make it a complete neighborhood and street. it's great to see this happen. the project has all the right things. it brings it back and adds a machin much-needed hotel and the park. we move to approve. >> commissioner: second. >> commissioner: commissioner moore. >> welcome back to the teatro. we rarely have such an animated presentation with wonderful and there's a number of people and

we've gone through many many challenges and neighborhoods. >> commissioner: commissioner fung. >> >> a question for staff. the t.d.m. was reflective of 2016? >> we're required to do 50% of the measures. >> commissioner: if they were to have done it based on 2019, what would it have included? >> they're showing they would

meet event the current standards today but they're only required to show 50% of that. so they have their information technology screens, bike parking and lockers, storage, showers, they have off-site parking facilities as well as close to all kinds of muni on embarcadero as well as busses an within walking distance. >> i don't know if the project has been before the commission before. it's not in any of our documentation. >> they're only coming for the conditional use of hotel use and the tbdm, we put the findings in there which was in the report. they're meeting all the standards we require.

>> commissioner: commissioner richards. >> beach blanket babylon extraordinaire and i'ming to dread what other institution is going to go. and i love this. this is fantastic. >> commissioner: if there's nothing further there's a motion seconded to approve approve the conditional use authorizations with conditions on the motion. >> i'm still getting used to the procedures here. i think a couple comments on first the appropriateness of the use i think the conditional use applies to the hotel portion.

and the masting and design and contextual nature and the material palate i find to be appropriate. >> commissioner: with that there's a motion to adopt findings of consistency and approve with conditions. on that motion. [roll call] >> clerk: that motion passes unanimously 6-0. commissioners, items 5 and 6 were pulled off consent and we'll be taking up the matters now and if the persons leaving the chambers quietly we'd appreciate it as we have additional business to attend.

>> commissioner: commissioner richards needs to recuse for item 5 and 6. >> item 5 for case number 2018-012709cua conditional use authorization and for the matter of recusal richards we'll bring you will item 6 at 10 29th street also a conditional use authorization. >> commissioner: commissioner richards. >> commissioner: due to my financial interest in at&t i request i'm reused from these two items. >> commissioner: is there a

motion? >> i move to recuse myself. i don't believe you can move it. >> clerk: thank you, commissioners to recuse commissioner richards. [taking roll] >> commissioner: commissioner richards can recused. >> welcome commissioner fong. i'm ashley lindsey the planning department staff and we have conditional use authorization to install a new at&t wireless communication facility at 990 pacific avenue. the project includes installation of new macro

wireless telecommunications and one frp screen box and four antennas behind one frp screen box. there will be 16 radio units mounted to the existing stair wall and ancillary equipment cabinets at roof level. the project sponsor held a community meeting at chinatown branch library, 15 community members attended however 9 of the 15 signed in. the design site selection and radio frequency were discussed and one attendee requested a rf screening test. the department staff has received public comment from one community member regarding the project. due to public comment and request, at&t has agreed to provide an informational workshop for residents at 990

pacific avenue regarding emissions related concerns. in order for the project to proceed the commission must grant a conditional use authorization pursuant to sections to allow operation of a wireless telecommunication facility within the district. the department finds the project is on balance consistent with the guidelines and the objectives and policies of the general plan. the proposed facility would be screened by virtue of proposed enclosures. the proposal would not significantly detract from views of the subject building or other surrounding building nor would it detract from the street scape and vistas. the project has design compatible with character and stability of the neighborhood and would constitute a beneficial service. staff recommends approval of a

conditional use authorization. this concludes my presentation and the project sponsor and myself is available for any additional questions. >> thank you. >> i'll be brief. i'm here with the planning of at&t and we have someone from engineering and we're excited about the relocation and thankful for ccdc for working with us on the site and available if you have questions. thanks very much. >> commissioner: thank you. >> clerk: i'd like to open the comment for public comment. anyone interested come to the side their room and if you're ready come on up. >> my comment had primarily to do with number 6. do they want to make a presentation about that particular project and then i'll

comment. >> commissioner: we'll take that up next but you did make a request about removing both. >> my comment is about both of them then. good afternoon, commissioners. my name is christi akim. i live at the edge of the mission. a few days ago i learned about the project the at&t macro wireless facility and since it was announced at the commission meeting i wanted to express my concerns. i'm sorry i did not learn about the projects earlier or i would have made input earlier. my concern has to do with the fact that the city is about to embark on 5g or 5 generation

wireless networks. my understanding is at&t is building out a number of what are called 4g, fourth generation the generation wireless network we're currently operating under but these facilities will in turn feed into much smaller facilities located in neighborhoods, small cell towers. my concern is about approving facilities without a city wide plan or a rollout plan for five generation. and the five generation are big issues. it's become a big international issue. there's an international appeal against 5g generation by scientists. they've addressed this appeal to the united nations. the united nations environment program, world health and to

governments. and it has to do with taking taking a cautionary approach to 5g because of a huge number of studies that have been completed, peer-reviewed scientific studies that show serious harmful affects of chronic wireless use with cancers and so forth. i'd urge you to not approve this at the moment until there's a clear idea of where we're going in the city with all these facilities. that's basically my pitch. >> commissioner: thank you. any more public comment? seeing none, public comment's closed. commissioners.

>> commissioner: can you send me the wireless communication services siting guidelines? >> i have the request to have the siting guideline sent to you. >> commissioner: there a motion commissioners? >> clerk: commissioner hillis. >> i don't know if it's staff or at&t but can you address the public just about generally maybe it's at&t's broad planning for 5g. i think this is appropriately sited and the way it works on the building i think is fine but to give us our staff and the

overall -- do we have a plan for 5g versus 4g in the broad plan? we're basically more land use than the technology side and whether they have an impact. >> staff from at&t told me the antenna are both 4g some of it gets dicey in terms of business practices and how privacy and what have you. >> commissioner: there's nothing extraordinary about these maybe at some point because we haven't

heard the broader planning for cellular service. i'm fine with this and would move to approve. >> clerk: there's a motion that has been seconded to approve item 5 with conditions. [roll call] item 6 at 1020 9th street conditional authorization. >> planning staff. the request is to install a new at&t macro wireless telecommunication facility at 1020 9th street and 10 antennas

at the northwest corner and three within the southwest corner of the existing rooftop and three antennas and five radio units at the southwest corner of the existing rooftop. ancillary backup equipment is proposed in the basement area. the project sponsor held a meeting at vernal heights recreation center. six community members attended the meeting. the design site selection and radio frequency were discussed. department staff has received public comment and protest from one member with health concerns and obstruction of use from their window. there must be a conditional use authorization pursuant to code to allow operation of a wireless

telecommunication facility within the nc3 zoning district. the department finds it's consistent with the wireless telecommunication siting guidelines and the objectives and policy of the general plan. it would be screened by view by enclosures and the placement on the rooftop. the proposal would not detract from the views of the subject building or other surrounding buildings or adjacent street scapes and vistas. the project shows a design compatible with character of the neighborhood and constitute a benefit service and this concludes my presentation. myself and the project sponsor are available for questions. thank you. >> this is a relocation due to

the fact st. duke's is being demolished and this is a replacement for that antenna. >> clerk: would any members of the public like to comment? >> before i make a motion i want to say the conversation around wireless sites has continued and i think increased community engagement at the planning commission. i think it potentially warrants us having an informational or conversation to refresh all bodies about some of the regulations and how we make considerations around this topic. but with that i move to approve this item. >> commissioner: second. >> clerk: if there's nothing further there's a motion seconded to approve the matter with conditions on that motion.

[roll call] so moved the motion passes unanimously 4-0. that places us on item 15a and b b. you will consider conditional use authorization and a request for rear yard modification. >> good afternoon, vice president koppel and welcome commissioner fung. the project is located at 915 north point street on an l shaped parcel with 92 feet of

frontage and site has a two-car parking garage and due to the t topography it appears as a one-story structure along that frontage and this would construct a new mixed use building with commercial space along north point street and parking for 28 vehicles and 27 class 1 bicycle spaces. it requires conditional use for a lot within the nc1 district. the project would be constructed to a height of 40 feet and consistent of a ground floor level at which level the accessory parking and commercial space along north point and the residential lobby would be locked. the level functions as a podium and the project with the regular

lot shape and masting the project seeks a rear-yard modification to be considered by the zoning administrator. the north point and larkin building set down to 30 feet in height facade and the setback areas are private decks and a common deck for the larkin building. the project provides the remainder of space through decks and patios and common open space. the department has received considerable opposition from at least 10 different families in the neighborhood. concerns were notable from proper owners of 2925 and 2927 larkin street adjacent to the project site and between the project site and four-story

buildings that front along bay street. neighborhood concerns have focussed on a range of issues including the proposed height and masting and density and unit count, light, hair, privacy and noise impacts and the elimination of a neighborhood parking resource and design and aesthetics. the department met with concerned residents in january and worked with the project team throughout the process to address neighborhood concerns and how it meet design guidelines while still promoting the development. the housing has been modified in materials of the overall site season and project massing and materials and facade expression. without discussing all the changes the most notable include side setbacks along the property line and setback at the rear of the larkin building a rear wall

designed to minimize privacy concerns and areas of set backalong the decks again to enhance privacy and minimize noise. the changes have help the project respond to the constraints of the site and allow for the potential of the building. since publication of the staff report the department has received 25 e-mails in support in addition to the two that were receive the before. it's consistent with the objectives of the general plan and necessary and compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. it will add needed housing and contribute to the affordable housing fund. it's an area well sbifshd

situated for transportation and and there's approval with condition. >> i'm here to ask for your support to replace a dilapidated garage with new housing. we prepared a presentation after

which we're happy to answer questions. we acquired the site. and we've increased occupancy from 55% to 99% by create community of local businesses that connect and serve the neighborhood. and proud of our examination of -- success and we restored the fountain and the sign to city icon suffered decades of neglect. the same values informed our process for 915 north point. we heard critical desires, conform to zoning, design a building that fits in with the neighborhood, protect neighbors structures and consider the existing parking use when determining future-site parking. we believe the proposal responds to concerns and delivers a responsible addition it our housing stock. we appreciate the many hours

staff and neighbors gave to shape and modify the design over the past 18 months. we're not requesting zoning variances or propose ing a roof deck and the modification request is of the unique shape of the lot and have setbacks beyond code minimums. we have a project that improves the pedestrian realm by eliminating curb cuts on larkin and adding commercial space to north point street. our structural design makes use of the existing garage foundations an perimeter walls it maintain soil retention. we have provided for car and bicycle parking that considers the surround and the site as a neighborhood garage. in summary it's resulted in the project proposal in front of you

today. >> i'm with t.s. design. the project is composed of two buildings. one facing north point street and one facing larkin street. the existing street frontages are composed of stucco buildings and warm color tones. the north point building will be made of a series of bay windows reflecting the rhythm of the block. the proposed materials as shown

on the mock up you can see the north point building. and panels both on the body of the building and the bay windows in a series of warm tones that reflect the block tones. they range from a lighter gray tone to a darker gray and creamy beige color. we have dark accents at the windrow and trim and it's a base of concrete. the larkin street building has similar materials but just uses two colors with the ground floor with raised residential stoops off the streets and happy to answer questions about the project. >> thank you.

>> clerk: i'll open it up for public comment. >> i'm a retired public school teacher and have lived on larkin for the last 14 years. first, i'd like to say when this is completed after probably a year of construction, it may have a real positive gen -- benefit to the neighborhood. it will add to the rental stock and i appreciate the concessions jamestown has made for neighbors around the new buildings but for

me i have a couple concerns. the quality of my life during the demolition and construction which seems to be something happening generally around san francisco right now. my loss of income during demolition and construction. the structural integrity of my property which is immediately adjacent. >> commissioner: can you speak into the mic, miss. >> it's immediately adjacent to one of the buildings. as for the quality of life, it's going to take approximately 18 months from the start of demolition to the final approves. during demolition the dust and debris will make it difficult to be in my house during the daytime and during construction

they'll be going non ststop. i depend on the rental to supplement my teacher's requirement and it may be impossible to rent my house even in this market for 18 months of demolition and construction. most of all, it's the structural integrity of my property. hi -- my house is plaster and though they peered down the side of the house and larkin location with the flashlight i don't think it's possible to determine whether the garage is tied into my foundation. they are leaving the first floor there is a connection. the weight of the new building can affect the structural integrity of my house. the garage is build on sand and

i know this because we remodelled the basement of my house and had to poor a new slap before the reconstruction. i'd like to you require jamestown to not only do pre construction elevations and have a vibration monitor and a sound monitoring system for the duration and construction of the new buildings. if this is not a requirement, i'll hold the planning commission department responsible for any damage to my house. >> commissioner: thank you. next speaker, please. >> i'm the former director for the union scare i am -- square improvement district.

i'm here to speak on the impact on community. i worked with them at 22 fourth street on fourth and market. they also came to me when i was at union square when i acquired the building. they did immediate outreach and worked with me to improve the area and i have worked with them at ghirardelli square and they've engaged with the community and seek out local business to fill their location. i'm here to speak to their community commitment and i think any project that they are pursuing the city of san francisco would greatly benefit from. thank you very much for your time.

>> commissioner: thank you, next speaker, please. >> i'm here representing the chief school across the street from the proposed development. our owner carrie fisher purchased the school in 2011 and it's our third home. we had our two previous locations and we think of gir ar -- gir ar and we look at classes and the catering events we built the business on. and we now have 29 employees on our team. and we're hiring in case anybody wants a cheese job.

we're a woman-owned business and share the story of cheese and other heritage. the reason we moved into ghirardelli's square was the plan to transform it into a marketplace of unique independent businesses you only really find in san francisco. they attract the locals and visitor and we have the san francisco brewing company, subpar mini golf and lots of great shobz. -- shops when they come in they say it's the first time i've been to ghirardelli square in years so we know the plan is working. we've received great feedback and from the russian hill neighborhood association and san

francisco travel. as you may know, good will does not a cheese school make. our business runs on razor thin margins and depend on locals to support us and folks who come to happy hour and come to have lunch on tuesday and leave tips for our awesome team that recommend us to their friends and neighbors. we depend on the neighborhood to support us so we can in turn run a business that thrives that's healthy and profitable and pays our team's health care and offers a 40 1k and advancement in educational opportunities. having 100 new residents across the street from the business would be a meaningful boost to our assist
