with the option to add a circular stair or delete the entire stair but have an internal stair to the roof top on top of the bedroom and i can give mr. washington the sketch of what that can look like. >> commissioner sugaya. >> yeah, are we retaining the decks in the back or what? >> if you are asking me, i retain the back, the decks in the back. i eliminate the eastern deck on the bedroom floor, have an internal stair coming up to the roof of the bedroom roof, pull this back by two or three feet so that it stays away from the level below. and then the stairs, either an additional circular stair coming from the bedroom going down or this stair goes away all together and the lower deck remains as it it. >> if you eliminate the circular stair, then there's no access between the floors, is that correct? >> the access and internal stair. there's an internal stair already. >> i mean on the outside, there's no connection between the decks. >> no. based on the loose interpretation of the modified code and single residential three stories, you do not need a secondary [inaudible]. that was th

this is the top of the stair and this is the bottom level of the stair. that would cause a reversal of the stairs on all the floors. that's -- that was the answer i had when i asked why can't we, you know, deal with the corridor to the stair here? when you reverse all the stairs at every level, the stairs eliminate where the front door is, and if you eliminate where the front door is, that has repercussions on the bottom two floors. so unfortunately, when i asked and we looked into that, it just wasn't possible. you know, if there's a compromise, perhaps it's to cut out -- set back more here, but keep this portion, the four-six here, eliminate here, so you can walk around the light well and into the stairs. the light well cannot be smaller than that, commissioner richards, or if it is, you eliminate two bedrooms in the bottom unit, and it's a one-bedroom unit. by the way, that unit in the back has one bedroom facing back in the garden, so i hope that answers your question. >> yes, it does. thank you very much. >> commissioner richards? >> what about the p

my home office faces those stairs. work there 8-10 hours a day every single day for the last five years. i consider myself an expert on the visitors of those stairs. they, and they take so please all day all night. they stop, they sit in the middle landing they enjoyed the fabric -fabulous abuse. they bring lunches. they have snacks they hang out. it's a social experience. a large portion of the city view we blocked by this project from the middle landing with the people actually sit all day. half of the downtown skyline will be obscured. due to the vertical extension of this project. if the staircase is treasured by the neighbors and meet regularly to maintain the gardens. we have put in hundreds of hours of work, not for our own personal gain, but for the enjoyment of every resident and visitor. it adds value to the entire neighborhood and the city not just a single individual. it is so highly valued, that we have a project in works to beautify the space further with mosaic tiling similar to the 16th ave. stairway. t

we are and what is the main hallway of the pope villa, the stair hall. we might mention a bit about the engine henry latrobe -- benjamin henry latrobe. he came to america in the early 1800s. evidence suggests he moved to the americas to escape that debt -- bad debt in england. the laws did not really pursue people if they left one country and went to another. we are pretty short latrobe escaped his bad debts in england and was able to start afresh in america. we might also pause to look at what, an image we see in the plaster on the wall in front of us. it very clearly in the -- illustrates the shadow of a railing you could hang onto as you climbed the stairs. there is some discussion still going on about the position of the stair. there is an old story that senator pope as a child had lost his right arm in a farming accident as a young man. since he was left-handed, this arrangement would let him climbed the stairs with the help of his left hand on the other banister. the floor plan seems to show that a stair existed against this wal\l, just the reverse

from the stairs in the crypt the crowd reached the centerpiece of the capitol, the iconic rotunda. those went from the west side of the building ultimately joined with those who hundred from the east side of the building if you officers in the rotunda had no chance at controlling the mob that had descended on them. some members of the mob who passed the attendant headed from the rotunda in the direction of the senate joining the members of the mob who climbed the stairs that were closer to the senate wing door. the evacuation of the senate left the senate floor unguarded. like an invading army, members of the mob streamed into the home of what is been recognized as a world's greatest deliberative body and took control. rifling to the papers of senators, disrespecting the desks where former presidents and other set when they served and taking control the senate dyess with the vice president had earlier been presiding. events were even graver in the house of representatives. before turning to those events, a word about them now that was in the air that day. numerous members of the mo

that's his bloodstaining the stairs. william talby was a personality, big man and dominant figure and he was a methodist minister that got elected to congress from kentucky and served a couple of terms but he was not popular with the newspaper in louisville and their reporter william printed negative things about him, particularly he was profiting from his position in congress and just before the third election when he was ant to be reelected again kingcade had article of infidelity. everybody knew that his wife was back in kentucky. that was embarrassing to him and he was unhappy about it and he couldn't go back to kentucky even. he stayed here in washington and every once in a while he would run into kingcade in the capitol building because tolby would taunt kingcade and tweak his ear and twist his ear and make him bow and this is a particularly humiliating thing in code of southern chivalry and kingcade resented this. one day knowing the code, he gave the response, sir, i'm not armed. this is a challenge to a dual. he

and then there came a voice -- clear, calm, saying he had found he stairs.an in his 20's, strong, emerged from the smoke, and over his nose and his mouth he wore a red handkerchief. he called for fire extinguishers to fight back the flames. he tended to the wounded. he led those survivors down the stairs to safety and carried a woman on his shoulders down 17 flights. then he went back, back up all those flights, then back down again, bringing more wounded to safety. until that moment when the tower ell. they didn't know his name. they didn't know where he came from. but they knew their lives had been saved by the man in the red bandana. again, mayor bloomberg, distinguished guests, mayor de blasio, governors christie and cuomo, and the families and survivors of that day, to all hose who responded with such courage, on behalf of michelle and myself and the american people, it is an honor for us to join in your memories, to recall and to reflect, but above all, to reaffirm the true spirit of 9/11 -- love, ompassion, sacrifice, and to enshrine it forever in the

early in the evening, i went up a very narrow set of stairs leading from the living room to a second floor, to use the bathroom. when i got to the top of the stairs, i was pushed from behind into a bedroom across from the bathroom. i couldn't see who pushed me. brett and mark came into the bedroom and locked the door behind them. there was music playing in the bedroom. it was turned up louder by either brett or mark once we were in the room. i was pushed onto the bed and brett got on top of me. he began running his hands over my body and grinding into me. i yelled, hoping someone downstairs might hear me, and i tried to get away from him, but his weight was heavy. brett groped me and tried to take off my clothes. he had a hard time because he was very inebriated, and because i was wearing a one-piece bathing suit underneath my clothing. i believed he was going to rape me. i tried to yell for help. when i did, brett put his hand over my mouth to stop me from yelling. this was what terrified me the most, and has had the most lasting impact on my life. it was hard for me to breathe, and

center more accommodating and this is version, 2.0 on the left and as i mentioned those stairs were rising up to about 37, 38 feet in the previous design and now they are only going to less of 28 feet or so, and there is a lot less rise and that is meant that we can have a very efficient and enjoyable ramping system and that does not consider the rails and so it is not really a ramp it is a sloping surface that you see on the right there that brings the people with the wheeled access to this new plaza level. and it is significantly more vegetation in this rising, sort of grand land scheme and so there are different plateu,s and all of these face south and all of these surfaces are getting more daylight sun hours because they are sloping towards the sun and some of these green areas also come down to the water's edge so that you are aible to similar to the park and be able to stand on the edge of the pier itself and be surrounded by the vegetation as you experience the shore line of the san francisco bay and the reds remain as you can see there and the locations that we have describe

the decks and stairs are in bad disrepair at this point. deck boards and stair treads are rotting, as well as some of the beams and posts. just real quick, there's the 1914 map showing a stair, and then, this is perthe condition of now, it's sort of large and looming, rotting. because the decks are improperly flashed, over the years both units have sustained water damage, both exterior and interior during the heavy rains. we obviously could have done a 50% repair and fore gone this process, but we wanted to do this right. we wanted to fix once and for all, the problems with how the decks are attached to the building. we also wanted decks that are lighter and smaller and provide for more light and air to the inhabit of our building. as you know it's not easy designing something in san francisco that can please tenants in two units, neighbors on all sides, the planning department and the preservation department, but we think the solution that you're seeing today is good for several reasons. it provides the minimum 100 square foot open space f

they put me on the stair master, try to climb stairs in.a very difficult time and that's because stair climbing is a very vigorous activity it's a powerful form of walking because think about it. you are actually taking a step and having to hoist all your weight on one foot and then and then carried the next that oversee you're not only are you balancing, but then you're also having to work up against gravity. so and you are using 2 to 3 times more energy just to walk upstairs compared to walking on on a flat surface. and this really does help against middle age weight gain talking what men who climb 8 more flights today. how how do they benefit here. >> yes, so first of all, they found that if you climb 8 or more flights of stairs a day. you reduce your mortality rate by 33%. so compare that to walkers. they found that walker's to people that walk 1.3 miles a day. they reduced mortality risk by 22%. so considerably more when you climb stairs and then they also fan. if you walk 2 minutes extra a day that you reduce that out offset that midd

provided now a new sort of passage which leads through the retail paces, as opposed to just one large stair. we have a ramp that leads one through, these smaller retail modules and these restaurant and coffee shops and etc., along the way and point you directly to the south with views over the bay. as you move through these pass js up towards the event center and viewing tar aces above. the fire station remains in a similar location and it has been previously there and you can see it with the san francisco fire department. located just adjacent to the northwest corner here. and the next thing that we would like to point out is that we have a reduced significant amount of height in some of the ter aces that lead to the entrance of the venue itself and so this is the new design, and we have created sort avenue plaza area. it can be used as a specific space during the time that the event center is not in use, but here is an indication of how much we have removed, and the old design the previous design had about a 37 foot height event center, and we dropped it down to about 28 feet. so that is
