the units will be accessible. there there will be 15 of those and then there is another 4 percent of units so approximately 7 or actually there there will be 7, that are for the hearing-impaired so total there there will be 22 accessible for visual and hearing-impaired and on on the accessible the balance of the units not accessible will be adaptable. >> here's a ground floor layout of block 1 and it shows the parking spaces so for the 122 units there there will be 61 parking spaces available. and then if you noted, off of arelious walker you turn into donner avenue and you make a right into the parking garage so parking garage access is off of donner avenue. here's the the rendering looking at block one from the corner of arelious drive and donner avenue similar to the first 2 phases in in that it's the 5 story building there's a combination of 1, 2, 3 and 4 bedroom units. there's there's a garage at the ground level with a landscape podium and at the top of that that at the second level and towards the back of t

that's where access was obtained and where the neighbors on mountain springs consented and approved access from that site. it's just not credible now after six years for the development team to say well, we suddenly find that's not practical, we changed our mind so we're going to change this project. and that's what they say on page three of their brief. let's start with article 9 as exhibit 18. it governs every aspect of development in the unaccepted streets and the other sections of the public works code deal with the accepted streets and there's two kind of streets, accepted and unaccepted. one the city's responsible for attaining and others, the local homeowners who abut it are responsible. item 15 directs the construction and maintenance of the sidewalks and directly refers to article 9 by saying if you're dealing with an unaccepted street go to article 9 and i brought some of those code sections depending on the arguments made by the other side. the requirement of consent for homeowners abutting the unaccepted street for improvements is well established and the developers were requir

designated and held open to help patrons to access. also when elevators go out of service at a family shelter, it's the policy of staff to provide people with disabilities. in some case staff offers to relocate clients to another location, if this is not possible, they do deliveries and offer any additional items. the second category of complaints involved obstructions to the public right-of-way and blocks to construction activity. in these cases office collaborated with dpw or sf mta street inspector to investigate and revolve the issue immediately. this is a reminder to the public, if you notice something blocking the path of travel without an alt ernate routine. please call our office, 554-6789 voice or reach us through tty at 415-554-6799. let me repeat those numbers. you can reach us at voice at 415-554-6789 or reach us through tty at 415-554-6799. the final category of complaints received had to do with a city app and documents in a city website not being compatible with software use by people who are blind or have low vision. un

they have an accessible path of travel to the toilet room in the new space than wasn't accessible. >> yeah, but that path of travel goes outside. >> well, no, i'm saying is the 731 path of travel to a toilet room is in the 731 entrance into an accessible elevator to an accessible bathroom so to get there you have to have that coming from the street so they're considered separate classroom areas with separate access from the street. >> thank you. i'm not sure we need to give you more time then, mr. duffy, unless you feel that there's something that could be done with respect to the front door. >> well, [inaudible] he's the district building inspector, he's pretty knowledgeable on the ada codes, but if something is wrong -- it's easy to draw something on the plans and when you get there it's wrong so we have to then address that and usually if he needed a revision permit or another permit, but i don't know that without speaking to him and it's up to the board what you want to do with this permit but if we triggered the accessibility at the front door then that has created the appeal. i

, making the bathrooms accessible. the project needs a great deal of work. we -- all of the work that we do will be consistent with the secretary of the interior standards for historic buildings. of course this is an historic [speaker not understood] i believe one of the oldest piers on the waterfront. as you can see, our initial improvement costs are in excess of $7 million. this is in addition to costs their things like tenant improvements, commissions, total project cost is in excess of $10 million. that will be our investment in this. so, i'd like to show you what some of that money is going to look like from the outside. so, this is a picture actually taken from the brannan street wharf which shows the north facade of the pier actually adjacent to the public, to the future public access way. as you can see, it's not in very good shape. some of the [speaker not understood] has actually been removed. it's really in pretty rough shape. >> where it says condemned? >> condemned, exactly. we've been scrubbing the paint.

obviously disabled access and getting disabled into the building is important. when that does happen we make sure if you're going to change the entrance, for example if the entrance is 5 feet and a lot of these old buildings, you've got two 30 inch doors, well, that's not wide enough for wheelchair accessibility so you have uneven doors. you put in a 3 foot and 2 foot door which is what happened here as the architect explained. that's standard procedure. once you get into preservation issues and what the materials are we leave that to the planning department and it looks like the entrance is being modified to meet accessibility requirement ls. that's ability all i have to say if anybody has any questions. >> to chime off our president's question, so was ada required prior or did additional square footage trigger this requirement? >> no. i believe that was voluntary on their behalf to make this modification. i have don't have any enforcement from dbi. certainly there could have been the argument tect or mr. lee may knee to speak of it. i don't have anything with

maintenance of accessible features, public right-of-way access and effective communication especially when it's related to information technology. the majority of the complaints involved in operable elevators in city funding programs and facilities. under the ada public entities must maintain in working orders equipment and features of facility that are required to be ready access for people with disabilities. however temporary interruptions to access of maintenance in the future is not prohibited. in these cases work orders had been issued and prioritized. in addition alternate arrangements for structures. for instance when the elevators are down in the parking garage staff to alternate spaces to guide people to the ground level that are designated and held open to help patrons to access. also when elevators go out of service at a family shelter, it's the policy of staff to provide people with disabilities. in some case staff offers to relocate clients to another location, if this is not possible, they do deliveries and offer any additional items. the second category of complaints in

the public can access.ilton county commission where i did the same thing there. when i came to congress, krrk-span existed. congress was already on television, despite a lot of the same types of concerns that there are relative to krools that people would play to the cameras. some members of congress do. the fact is that we are public folks. the public pays for the courtrooms just as it pays for our congressional chambers and i think they ought to have access to it. access nowadays, face it. it's not practical to think you can just leave your job or your family and go down to see what's happening in the local courtroom. the access is by television. should the public chooses to tune in. they should have the opportunity. again, they are paying for it. in any event, when i introduceded the legislation in the house about 20 years ago my colleague, the chief cosponsor was a former member of the committee. chuck schumer. he felt very strongly about it and gave enumerable excellent speeches. i disagreed with him o

due to limited access to the actual proceedings. as one of our witnesses will testify today, the ability to disseminate information via electronic coverage of courts proceedings, is a critical cop opponent indoorsing the public the modern equivalent of attending and observing proceedings in sum, opponents believe a potential harm outweighs the benefiteds. chief among their concern is this proposition that the legislation has the potential to impair substantially the fundamental right of citizens to a fair trial, while undermining court security and the safety of jurors, witnesses, and other trial participants, including judges. beyond the general questions of whether cameras should be permitted in federal court proceedings are a myriad of additional questions that include where and when they should be permitted, whether consent of the parties should be required, whether the courts should control the operation and dissemination of materials, and whether congress would be required to provide additional fundings and resources to the co

and access to affordable health care is something that still deserves our attention. and i look forward to trying to make certain that we have that opportunity, again, that is nothing that's going to happen in the next few days but we have a responsibility to see that the things that are reducing the access to health care, reducing the access to affordable health care are addressed and the efforts that resulted from the affordable care act are exacerbating the problem, not solving the problem. with a new congress soon beginning, i look at elections as like a new year's, there's this optimism that maybe something good can come from a new congress, that we can establish a new year's resolutions and we can begin working. and i certainly make the offer to my colleagues throughout the senate, all 99 of my colleagues, to be someone who wants to be problem solving, oriented toward finding solutions and working together to make sure that those health care providers that are so important to our lives, our safety, to our health, are around for a long time to come, and the commu

conservation and access. the way we've addressed this is trying to provide as much access as we can through still pictures the and film of the most popular artifacts in the collection. so that people can see them and have their research questions answered without actually looking at the actual physical artifact. because every time we have to make an actual item available, we are risking a bit the conservation of the item. and so that's why for the press we have provided b roll video of the artifacts themselves, which we did prior to the 50th anniversary. so here we are in one of our conservation labs, just one of our conservators. and she's going to show us, which is fbi exhibit b-1, which is oswald's wallet, including the contents. i'm going to answer a question that a lot of people have, which is what is the staining that is on portions of those items. that is from the fingerprint chemical that was used by the fbi to try to obtain fingerprints. it ended up staining the artifact itself. so i know some people
