i met joe duffy a number of the times at the city department. we followed through direction from our last meeting and met with joe duffy and mark walls. she is he is the senior plan checker at the building department and, and we reviewed our plans with mark walls and he looked at ab009 application to specific windows, and he looked at the structural planning, the headers, to make sure that the headers are the right size, and then he suggeste d that inspector and engineer to be present when these windows are going to be installed to make sure that they are having the right header size and also the opening, so that is what is required. he agreed with the sprinklers would be additional permit and to be done at the time that we are doing the windows. [bell ringing] basically we followed the meeti ng and updated the plans with accurate scope of work. plans appear to meet building and planning building codes. i have asked the plan checker, and i think they have a lot of knowledge, but unfortunately i don't think that come back [bell ringing] this meet

conditional use permits that are in front of you were reviewed by the senior building inspector, joe duffy, and also during the building inspection commission hearing in may, so approximately two months ago, the building inspector, inspector o'rear dln don said yes, i think these drawings reflect the current condition of the building. >> president hillis: okay. thank you. about the garage? >> yeah, yeah. >> thank you very much. one thing to be clear on the actual conditions that show that garage is that it described that there was a garage door. in the photo that inspector o'reardon showed on the right-hand side. in front of that garage door or garage-like door, door that looks like a garage, it was clearly shown as the as-built plans was that there was no curb cut and the existing tree you see in the photo was in front of the garage. i think that there's been a frenzy around this whole notion of misrepresentation. it begs the question, why would someone say there is an existing garage if there's a tree and no curb cut in front of it? what we're trying to describe at the time, which was a

. >> joe duffy. d.b.i. i'll be here in august. the soft story retrofit -- >> well, i was just wondering if that next upgrade triggered the soft story. i would imagine if they did the next improvement, it would trigger it, correct? >> correct, but it looks like it's not part of the soft story, i don't think. >> thank you. >> thank you. is there any public comment on this item? okay. please, both of you, if you can come up against the wall, so we can move it along. please approach the microphone and identify yourselves. >> hello. my name is ishoka. i live about two blocks away from this unit, and i just wanted to voice my support of this project. so i've lived in nob hill. it's a very desirable neighborhood and you can easily walk to stores and offices to work. if you want to live in nob hill, people already living in nob find it extremely expensive to do so. so i think any additional units of housing in this neighborhood would be helpful. to the subject if it fits or conforms with the neighborhood, again, i live two blocks away. th

joe duffy, d.b.i. at the last hearing, i was asked to give an opinion on the work at 4500 third street. that -- i didn't have that -- all of they see documents with me, which is why we continue it had in a way as well. so i'll just readout the application number, and the permit, as you heard, was for the conversion of a liquor store to youth learning center and other various aspects of work. the value of the work is $350,000. the application is a form 8. it means it's an over the counter approval. it's currently in file status. it's -- it's been -- it's been through building plan check, mechanical plan check, intake, d.p.w. have looked at it. it still needs to go to planning, and it needs to go to the mayor's office of disability. now, the permit application and the plans are in the possession of the permit applicant. they haven't done much since january 2018, but i wouldn't anticipate that they are going to do this work and get the permit. the reason we couldn't review the plans is we don't have them

joe cirincioneçç?? [applause] michael mcfaul: hello, everyone. gloria duffying us this evening is former ambassador to russia, michael mcfaul. he is a longtime scholar of russia and the other former soviet states. he studied at stanford and then at oxford as a rhodes scholar. he was deeeply committed to bringing about democratic change in the soviet union as it crumbled in the early 1990s. he worked with the u.s. national democratic institute and democratic parties and groups in russia on election strategy and political reform during the time when it seemed possible that russia would become a more that russia would become a more democratic society. he was

duffy here. he is a party, you know, and its kind of impossible to have a surrogate or a messenger deliver his point of view. >> joe is going to be so happy that he's missed. >> i can go either way a denial or continuance. i feel more comfortable with a continuance because some of the information we requested has not come before us. how does the calendar look >> next week is fine. we have the plans now. >> will joe be here next week? >> yes. >> president fung: i would accept and informational brief from each of the parties just for them to be able to expand beyond what just the drawings show. >> what would the page limits be on that? >> i think three pages. >> so sounds like we need to move it to an august date. we have the 8th or the 15th. >> commissioner honda is not here on the 8th. >> . >> president fung: is the 15th acceptable to both parties? >> there is a possibility commissioner wilson will not be present on the 15th. okay, so the 15th. >> president fung: let's continue this to august 15th and both parties will be allowed to present a three page brief supplying supply. >> do we want to specify for the recor

joe biden is not going to resurrect the amtrak express. hillary is not going to be with the scooby mobile. it's going to be someone like kamala harris. mr. duffyyou know kamala harris. what about her versus barack obama? are they of the same epic starlike quality for the democrats? >> well, of the fact that saying this because their ethnicity is similar in terms of being biracial, they are obviously both of the democratic party. they are very strong candidates that they come from different beginnings and different origin origins. kamala's background was steeped in local politics first, then the district attorney's office and a large county in californi california. and then became the state attorney general before becoming a senator. barack obama's background was much more grassroots, working with organizations before he came onto the political stage gained traction as a senator. i think in any sense, we want a candidate who resonates with the voters, someone who can connect and has a strong background in policy, lawmaking and understanding how to work across the table in different circles. >> laura: whoa, whoa, whoa, austin. you lost me at wor
