the male was only sent to mary woods -- e-mail was only sent to mary woods. it was to the notion of, does this make sense? i never got the answer. ultimately, we did the 5 feet and turned it in and no one else was supposed to see that e-mail. everyone here is talking about the conversations they have had with mary woods. we're not privy to any of these. the lawyer that said we tried to contact him, he contacted me two days after my deadline to ask me to put trees in the drawing. that was the first i had heard of it. there's a lot of misrepresentation going on. there was a drawing mistaken i will admit that. that is a human error. i was not trying to beguile anybody by sending marry this drawing that had the wrong dimension on it. we tried to make everything that you proposed for us to meet. and the only reason we could not meet again was because there were two motions that contradicted each other. they're calling it a reduction of the building. it is an elimination of the entire edition. that is all i have. president fong: thank you. a number of commissioners

working with the city planner ms mary woods and in the spirit of compromise, we have come to an agreement with the sponsor. we thank ms. woods for her professionalism and dedication as an intermediary. if there have been misunderstandings in the past and disagreement -- this agreement will likely have been impossible without her. as per pages a3 and a7, of the revision, submitted by the sponsor, we agreed to a reduction of 5 feet from the eastern boundary of the roof deck, reducing the square-foot it to better line up with the other -- square footage to better line up with the other decks in the area. the total area of the roof deck is 400 square feet, of which 335 square feet is the city area. given this has been a heated issue, and there have been repeated misunderstandings in the past and during the mediation, we ask that you, the commission, said this agreement in stone with a notice of special restrictions. to define the size and location of the roof deck so this process may come to a clear and definitive end. as they do not require a permit notice, we asked for this notice of specia

mary woods of the department staff. at your first hearing on may 10th, the commission made a motion and continue the item on today's date and asked a few changes be made on the project. the project sponsor made most of the changes. the department's recommendation is to take d.r. and approve with modifications. if you have any questions, here to answer them. -- i am here to answer them. >> project sponsor? >> what? oh, excuse me. it is a d.r. requestor. >> thank you, commissioners. steve williams. as a reminder, i recommend -- represent the family who lives in the-- directly north of the project. they have lived there since 1973, raising children there, almost 40 years. it should be obvious that most of the impact fall on the building. the building to the north from the proposed project. we appreciated last time the comments made by the commission and at the close of the hearing and the neighbors have been working diligently trying to resolve this so we could come back here and what the commission know we are all on the

. >> good afternoon, commissioners, i'm mary woods from the planning department, the conditional use before you for the council is required because of the expansion and it's seeking a planned unit development because it is greater than 1/2 acre, the project proposes an existing k through 8 private school for boys, the majority of the work consists of excavation for a new multi-purpose room and a renovation of existing facilities. the project will add approximately 19 thousand square feet to the existing 55 thousand square feet for a total of 74 thousand square feet upon completion, the project requires modifications to the rear yard and parking requirements of the parking code. the sponsor is seeking a phase development in order to accommodate the academic year and fundraising for the proposed work. conditional use approval, this project if approved will be valid until 2021 or 9 years from now. a brief description of the three phases of construction includes phase 1 which involves window replacement at the back of the building, interior renovations, foundation and upgrade, and this w

during the last year, one of which i'm putting up on the last year, another one i did based on mary woodsstaff approving based on a mailbox survye within the last two years. she found in both cases the third criteria was met. your staff report says it cannot count the legal number of dwelling units. but it says count the number of units, not legal. if you ask them, did you get issued 3r reports for the billing department? the answer is no. their website shows one number of legal units and the dbi shows one. their website shows two. o the only way to do it is 3r report, cost 6000. perhaps you want to go in that direction. is an expensive direction but that is what the public should be hearing about. looks like i ran out of time. if you have any questions. >> i have lived in the neighborhood on nob for a number of years; i have a couple of letters. i don't have the time to go to the mall. i am matthew gregory. first letter is -- one of the founding members, the alliance would like to offer special support for the proposed unit manager; allows long-term residents to stay in the neighborhood

i have as mary woods mentioned 8 letters from neighbors that i can read for the commission and thankyou for your time. >> thank you. >> you can leave them on the bench. >> thank you. >> any additional public comment? seeing none, the public comment is closed. commissioner moore. >> i'm in support of this project, we've seen a lot of schools come before us where they've had to go beyond their footprint to expand and we've had issues of lost housing, i know it's never easy. the neighbor on scott street, i know the construction hours do start at 7 a.m., i have a project across the street from me, they start before 7 a.m., the noise is not supposed to happen before 7 a.m., they are out there, i wake up super early because they are already doing work and the 7, 7, 7 days a week, so you know, i believe -- if they can figure out a way to work with the neighbors, but i know it's the policy and it's a catch 22, if you shorten the hours, the construction takes longer and more months of dealing with the noise versus them having them do longer hours, i do want the project sponsor to address the

commissioner antonini: a question for mary woods, please. we talked earlier today. my understanding is it's been represented by the project's sponsor that day conform with the 45% briard open space policy. is that correct -- 45% open space policy. >> yes, they do. i will show that on the screen for you. this is part of the appendix. it was not adopted by the planning commission in 2001 but even within the appendix, it says if you are falling, overriding 45% of your open space policy, it's ok to do an edition. the proposed one story addition is right at the 45% line. they are not intruding into the 45% open space. they are within the cow hollow appendix guideline even though the commission did not adopt it. >>commissioner antonini: it conforms to the guidelines but it is -- it does conform to the guidelines that that's because they have 137.5 feet and that allows them to have further back than other places might. second question -- we talked about the size of the various units. you gave me some numbers today. the existing first floor unit and the planned lower unit.

air water now the case is based in atmospheric trust litigation which was developed by professor mary wood at the university of oregon and it's it's grounded in the public trust doctrine and commons law which are super old laws that are actually fundamental to the constitution and the approach basically says that that our governments actually have the legal responsibility to consider the atmosphere as a public trust and the doctrine has been used on behalf of like specific areas of of land and water but it's never actually been been used on behalf of the atmosphere as a whole so this is a huge case and the big the big news this month is the national association of manufacturers which is one of the top industry lobbying groups and these five other huge fossil fuel lobbying organizations intervened in the case to fight us basically saying that they have the right to pollute as much as they want. and we're saying that that's not only a moral travesty that it's actually illegal under this public trust doctrine so the hearing for that they actually they filed a motion to dismiss our case and th

henry kissinger didn't have a clue, rose mary woods did not vat clue. we just didn't run around talking about it. and -- well, you know. i think i'm right about that. i don't know. >> scott had a footnote for that. >> the footnote in general, because i made all of these insulting remarks about the process of legal inquiry being a good road to the truth. the fact of the matter is, the people had forgotten this. the cover-up worked. nixon had to resign. ultimately the tapes did come out, but to this day, very few people know the extent in which we had established what is called the hughes theory, a wealthy person named howard hughes had given $100,000 to rebozo,think, the heart of what watergate was about. but what you also don't remember is he also gave it to hubert humphrey. we had hearings prepared on this. one day on my way into the office, it would have been 9:00 a.m., on the news they announced the hearings for the next monday had been cancelled. it was a shock. we all arrived to the office together and marched over. irvin wouldn't meet with us. wou

you weren't looking add rose mary woods as we recall from that still photo of the 18 and a half minute loyal, trusted and spritely, loyal secretary and alex along with roosevelt that one of the most dynamic portraits. >> nixon did go to her 90th birthday party. she was still completely with it as she closed in on 90. watergate, she couldn't get enough of it. she was sort of my witching chorus in the novel. she was the person with the longest memory and could see the comedy of it. had been close to the nixones from the time he got to town in the 1940s. >> you've imagined her as to giving him advice of handling the scandal. >> she was in the nixon white house an awful lot but not quite as much as i have her there. >> just the value of creating a fictional account of watergate, what does this bring us? >> i think if you speculate on how it felt to people, what motivated them. rose mary goods with a good example. she comes down to that one awful memory of the photograph of her stretching. he said don't let the bookend without having her dance. she was a terrific dancer. loved to dance. she

three press representatives, two secret service agents, the only other woman on the trip, rose mary woods, the nixons embarked on their 42,000-mile journey. in a little more than two months, the group visited over 15 countries, attended hundreds of state dinners, participated in innumerable ceremonies and spoke with millions of people. the state department had briefed the group on the many countries and peoples it would be visiting. pat took these very much to heart. she had served as the groups walking encyclopedia. whenever they needed information about the country or the culture, they would turn her because she would have the information. her husband concentrated on the larger issue of asian allies, clarifying eisenhower policies and communism. while he did that, pastoralist go out and meet people. so that they can meet with a list many different people as possible in the country they visited. she recognized that there was a job to be done as she wrote in her travel diary. but she could not help but be caught up in the thrill of traveling. even her sadness of leaving her girls to not o

just after nixon was elected, oakley hunter sent a letter to rose mary woods, nixon's secretary. i guess you would say my special field is housing and urban development. there are very few republicans in the field and even fewer who would care to be in a lifeboat with one. i like the ending list a healthy, you are photographing well. hunter was always a lady's and. loved to party. i can show you exclusively a party favor, fannie mae party in that era. hunter also bought a new headquarters for fannie mae. some people said it was the sort of palace louis xiv would have built if he had the money. during nixon's first year in office the fed was fighting inflation. interest-rate wind up and housing starts came down 40%. nixon declared a crisis situation in housing and the solution was more fannie mae. we got a hot -- home financing act of 1970 creating a second government chartered mortgage company freddie mac designed to cater to the s&l industry and more importantly allowed both fannie and freddie to buy a much wider variety of mortgages, not just fha loans or a tiny sliver of the m
