that's what adu's are fore. they're not for taking the space that's for residents, and when you have multifamily dwelling units, typically, there are common areas that are provided, and sometimes they're in your lease, and sometimes they're not. sometimes they're provided as the living space in your building. if something's not in your lease, if you're allowed to use it, it becomes part of your lease, which brings me to my next question. which is, in the documentation that we received on where these adu's are going, it says storage, storage, storage. what we see before multifamily units, it'll say open space or unused space or something. and then, the project upon sor himself gave very conflicting testimony on this. if you're the building manager, it's either-or. it's either your residents are allowed to use the storage space and put their belongings there or they're not. i think the way the project sponsor described it is well if they had it there, and then, they had it there, and maybe we informed them you sho

nobody looks at adus. you need someone on staff that really has no responsibility of pushing projects through. just deal with housing issues. loss of housing issues. and little digs into them for you. dpw is not going to solve the problem. dbi is not going to solve the problem. this is a planning department problem. you have the laws to deal with adus, dwelling units and mergers, historical buildings. that's the planning code. thank you. >> president hillis: thank you. any additional public comment on the budget? proposed budget? seeing none, we close public comment. any questions, commissioners? commissioner melgar >> what is non-personnel services? >> they're outside contractors. >> non-personnel services also includes software and licensing. so services to other departments is what we do if -- so the airport is going to have a big environmental -- a big project that requires environmental review, so they're going to pay us for our work for them specifically. the non-personnel services is the category, i

an adu initially. >> they could have. they would have been able to come in with the existing building today. >> president honda: okay. thank you. >> inspector duffy? >> joe duffy, dbi. it was a form 3 permit that was taken in for review. it looks to be meeting the intention of the building code. i see that they do have a total of five bedrooms and five bathrooms when it's all done. i would also warn, just warn them that if they start using it for some other use rather than it's intended, used as a single family dwelling, that dbi could be involved in the enforcement of that as well through our housing inspection services. lot of neighbors do get worried about these type of projects, and rightly so sometimes, but we can't look into the future. we do know it is legally a single family dwelling. from the plans, it does look like it meets building code requirements, from what i see. >> president honda: inspector duffy, was there any permit history of illegal work being done on the garage level? >> i couldn't find any. there's

we appreciate it. >> since we have 35 more seconds, i wanted to say that the adu that we -- that we -- that we have planned was planned to echo what -- what i consider the imaginary unit that was in the grocery store. the grocery store was the original tenant in the small building that we're planning on altering. we measured the portion that -- that appeared to be -- that appeared to fit the bill, and we have relocated it to the building adjacent, and given it the real start us tus of a residential unit. thank you. >> thank you. so we'll hear next from the dr requester. >> before we start the clock, can i just ask procedurally, since these are two separate matters, is it all right if we let the dr and variance and our time, and we'll speak as members of the public on the cu's, since we're not involved in that. >> yes. >> thank you. >> good evening, commissioners. my name is denise ledbetter, and i'm the immediate neighbor at 21 castro street. we have # 3 people would have signed petitions against this. i have to tell you the neighborhood is very upset about this for three particular r

and, you know, i -- the adu, i mean, it's fine, but it is replacing a rent controlled unit -- and it's vacant, it's vacant, but it's there. i didn't hear anything from my fellow commissioners. actually, i do object to that. i think if that's going to happen, i'm wondering what we get in return and what we're getting in return is this massive single-family home which, you know, is not consistent with what we want to do. so i would also like to send this back to the drawing board to come up with something that's a little more in keeping with our policies. >> commissioner richards? >> so i guess the question for the city attorney, the issue of rent controlled unit and demolition of it on a property such as this, with a replacement structure with a demolition permit be consistent with the -- >> commissioner, kate stacey from the city attorney's office. i'm going to have to look at the rent control provisions and talk to the rent control expert in the office and circle back with the answer on that question. i'm sorry. i don't know all the ins and outs of the demolition and new construction

the short answer, we think we have enough to financially support one person to just to be devoted to adu, but when those issues come up, other planners get involved. so historic preservation planner would look at if there is a preservation issue. at this point, the mayor's budget request to all departments was not to add any positions so we're pushing the envelope a little bit, because we think we can justify it based on the fees, but when the issues come up. i will take a little bit of exception to what ms. hester said we just rubber stamp them, we spend a lot of time looking at them. the number of adu approved, we spent a lot of time looking at these issues when they do come in and preservation planners do look at them. my point is, there will be more than one person devoted to the work. >> commissioner moore: one additional question, the expenditure budget, i see capital and equipment, 19 fy 19-20 to become zero and material and supplies increasing by $200,000, that is a time when you're moving. does that mean that you're not adding equipment and why is the number zero, i thought you

two weeks ago, i saw a report lts when theyt adu get a temperature of 101 with flu symptoms that they should go to the emergency room. i would news report like you to talk about was a couple of days ago when a little girl from north carolina who parents had taken her to express andke a med they treated her and gave her tamiflu and sent her home. it she was having trouble breathing and the parents called the paramedics and they came and checked her out and said they thought she would be ok and the parents did not take her on to the er, and she did die. the 101ious about degree temperature that we were told by a medical doctors. host: ok, marjorie. guest: i will be cautious about saying what a medical doctor or told someone but i will make some general statements. when a person feels a badly and they get a fever, there are so many reasons. if everybody that a 101 fever went to the er, we would have a serious problem with crowding. what the article or the medical authorities were trying to say is that if you get the flu and you really feel badly, you can benefit from tamiflu. what they r

state to implement medicare work requirements for able-bodied adu on the program. the approval comes one day after the government, federal government, issued guidance that lets states test programs that require jobs or work training as a condition of receiving benefits. conditions have r been attached to medicaid before. >>> still ahead, food fight. why you may want the german grocer lidl to set up shops in yo >>> have you heard of lidl? it's the german grocery store that if it opened in your town, you probably have. and your wallets may have felt the impact. courtney reagan explains. >> reporter: w low priced german grocer lidl opens a new store, it brings a food fight. consumers are the ultimate winners. the university of north carolina looked at prices at 48 grocery items at walmart, kroger, publix, and food lion, in towns that also have a competing lidl grocer store and towns that didn't have one. the study shows on average co retailers near lidl stores set their prices 9% lower than in markets where lidl isn't present. th german grocer entered the u.s. seven m

he had mentioned there is increased mortality in young adults anhalt think adus and there are strain of the flus that are resistant to the flu vaccine. it is becoming an issue. did you get a flu shot? >> i personally do not get a flu shot for different reasons but i do vaccinate my children. >> no flu shot for me. i am afraid needles. >> that is what it is? >> yeah. it is a sketchy. we had flu mist for awhile. that doesn't work. >> it it didn't work. we now have 10% to 40 chance this flu shot may or may not work. now you can take tamiflu in the back end if you gettette time. my 12-year-old son who did not want to get a needle in the arm asked his mother to get a flu shot on friday base is worried. has gotten the flu shot. >> now outside of this hype that you here, you know, this year, not necessarily much different than past years. people die from the flu every year. when you start to hear about it and hear about effectiveness of the shot. >> well, ta tickses are actually alarming and 2015, 57,000 people died of the flu if you compare that in the height of the aids epidemic. 51,000 p

so without further adue, we want to start the celebration this ribbon cutting, this amazing moment, we have our supervisor malia cohen and mayor london breed here. first, i want to bring up our director to kick us off. (applause) >> thank you very much for being here this morning. this is a really, really important time for me and for all of us. as a child growing up here in hunters point, i actually played on this very spot where we're standing. which is a surprise, that our childcare center is now here. we lived right there in the building right there in the place right here we were playing as children, my sister and i, who is the co-founder and there was a lot of housing in this area here. when we opened up the center and my program director tracy and i was walking through and i was telling the story, she said gladys it's here, the childcare center. and i was very moved but it couldn't be done without all of you helping and supporting us. i'm not going to be up here long but i really want to quote a saying by myriam wright elder man. children must have at least one person who believ

especially to deal with -- with adu adults. and the activities of daily living that are available for that subsidy. are they only limited to domestic tasks? >> no. it includes bathing, grooming, meal prep and cleanup and the domestic services are more instrumental activities like grocery shopping, laundry, cleaning, general housework. >> wish i would dare to say that if you have an overutilization of that program by seniors, perhaps it's an assumption on my part, it's for services like this, the cleaning and laundry and driving around and errands. whereas, if it's younger adults with disabilities, it could be something to enable them to go to work, which may have to do with bathing, grooming, assist answer with the restroom. i would encourage you to include the specific tasks in your list because not everybody knows the lingo. so to make it as specific as possible so folks that will be eligible or you are trying to market to will be able to hit on those words. >> okay. thank you for that feedback. >> and one more thought. >> an

. >> that goes for kids and adu s adults. some will not heed the warnings despite increases in the virus this year. >> do you get the flu shot? >> i don't. >> are you concerned about getting the flu and not having the flu shot? >> no. >> why? >> i don't get sick. i really don't get sick. >> reporter: fors the fact that the flu is going around has been headed to the nearest pharmacy. >> january everybody is getting sick. and people are just coming in. i had a couple yesterday and a couple today. >> reporter: there's enough vaccine to go around. we checked at pharmacies, urgent care and health centers across the region. only one location did not have flu shots available. >> in the state of pennsylvania there's been reported an unvaccinated 4-year-old who died from the flu and most recently a 21-year-old patient who died of the flu. so it's not something to be taken lightly. >> reporter: that's right. not to be taken lightly. if you still want a flu shot, you need to hurry up because doctors say that it takes a few weeks before

if we were to create a separate adu, it would close -- >> now your time is up. the commissioners may have questions. >> thank you. a dr request, you've got a one minute rebuttal, if you choose. >> i would mention as before, we're in favor of remodeling and improving the property. we just feel that the scope and size of the property that they -- the project they want to do is far greater than what needs to be done. thank you. >> thank you. >> dr request, you have one minute rebuttal, if you need it. >> maybe we'll start with the mid block diagram we wanted to show that our house is one of the smallest houses on the block. this house here. even with the addition, it's going to stay as one of the, you know, smaller houses. we are not extending anywhere further than most of the houses have extended so far. i justed wanted to show also a 3d rendition that we created that show the extension of the addition hopefully commissioners you will realize that it's very, very modest extension, and it shouldn't really block any significant amount of air or light to any of our n

it could be an adu, as one of you suggested the last time, but utilize the shared open space. don't put it on the top, again, making it effectively five floors. reduce the windows that loom over our kitchen and our deck in addition to those that face into the apartment next door. thank you very much for considering our comments. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello, commissioners. i'm ken yi. i live in the building next to this project. my issues with this project is privacy. with the rooftop deck, there will be social functions there, so there will be similar to having a party right outside your window. so i don't see there's any privacy in there, not mentioning in the light well, there's bathrooms, right at eye level when they stand on the roof deck. so there's no privacy whatsoever. and with the light wells so small, you can shake hands with the building next door. so noise, any kind of -- even smoking, so i think there will be disturbances when the light wells are so small that equal in size of the light wells. so i wish you can reconsider the design and eliminate
