but then when we went on the horizontal down between the building and the sidewalk, there is one location where the guy said the roots seemed to be -- and it's just where the pipes join. president peterson: dr. kantor, on that note, if this board were to reverse the urban forestry's position and denial, would you be willing to fix your sewer so that -- i mean, obviously you've got a problem whatever tree gets in there, if the roots go through that leaked area. >> i actually don't think the sewer is terribly broken. there's one area where there's a little leakage at the junction and the sewer pipe is quite intact the rest of the way up from what i can -- i'm not aware it hasn't collapsed, you know, it hasn't -- commissioner hwang: but i thought that's where the roots invaded the pipe. >> the roots apparently go in, the guy told me, where the two pipes meet -- roots really grow wherever there is new water. and what i -- you know, replacing the whole sewer system is something i would really love to avoid. i mean, this is huge. this is eight feet under the sidewalk. commissioner hwang: i'm ta

>> we filed an application in 2007 for the horizontal addition. we sent an informal letter to the neighbors. we have resolved are issues with one of the neighbors. ms. wuerfel, one of her statements was over my dead body and she would appeal. in 2009, we filed the foundation permit and abandon the idea of having a foundation permit before that was appealed. in may, we had the foundation permit to correct some of the faulty nov's she said, abandoning our building, trying to destroy our building to get a demolition permit. commissioner fung: that gives me a general idea. >> this has been going on since 2007. commissioner fung: ms. wuerfel provided her version of the permit history. do you have a permit history? >> in my brief you will see the complete. commissioner fung: the permit history. i saw the permits referred to by ms. wuerfel. >> de you have that? sorry. no. president peterson: okay, thank you, sir. mr. sanchez? >> thank you, scott sanchez, planning department. there are two issues as i see it. at first, the work proposed under the subject

that includes horizontal infrastructure costs, excludes items such as land are acquisition costs and items such as developer profits that are truly not construction costs. we want to determine what sort of employment would be generated from the sort of investment over 20 years. as you can see, on an annual basis, unemployment is estimated direct construction jobs around 1400 or 1500 jobs per year with an additional 652 700 jobs -- 650 to 700 jobs with a total of 2100 jobs during a 20 plus year filled up on average. what that those -- 20 plus year buildup on average. what that does on an annual basis, it will average about $20 billion -- $20 million -- $20 billion a year or four points $3 billion or 44 and $5 billion as summarized in this table -- 4.5 or 4.3 billion dollars as summarized on this table. here we are showing employment by land use and industry, the broader categories, and showing the retail industry, which is comprised of specific codes. give we are anticipating about 24% of the employment in that industry, and that goes for all the different land use categories in -- re

the horizontal complaint is still in limbo, tied with the still active 2007 application. this is a mess. now's the time to inspect and legalize all the on permit it work that has been done on this house. the neighbors and i are willing to work with the honor to improve the property when we are approached with accurate sets of plans and a senate seat -- and a sincere interest in mutual concerns. i believe this permit has been issued in error because of the misleading and incorrect information. i request to permit be revoked. now i would like to show some pictures on the overhead. i these are the four houses. it shows from north to south what is a picture from another angle that was on the cover shot that i provided to you. this is a picture of the rafter tales -- tails that are an ornamental cut. these will be taken down. they are in the entire perimeter of the house, which are very unique. i don't have them on mine, i would love to have them, and they are a nice distinguishing feature. just to let you know, this was the alpha house. nobody else got stained-glass windows.

basically makes a vertical and horizontal line. you want to look for these things when you look at a building. and it's not always obvious . if you look at this building, this one was an example of the racking we talked about. see how these studs are starting to fold on each other? if this whole thing fell over, the studs would be connected to each other. this is an example of the racking. obvious example of racking here; right? if you walk into this building, you are going to say this is heavily damaged. easy. large cracks. again, you want to look around the doors and the foundation. here right at the doors because, remember, the soft structure is the bottom structure. that's going to move the most. then right around the doors are structural members of the house. that's where you are going to find a lot of the damage. this one -- but look at all the doorways again. this building, again, here in the marina. somebody wrote something on there. if you look really close it says, search. somebody wrote that there because maybe they thou
