application we get we turn it into this big process. so when we receive applications we put them in a ranked list of priorities. you have it meet a certain base threshold of speeding and collisions to be what's called accepted as a traffic calming application, yeah, we think a traffic calming measure would be appropriate to address that issue. but then we get so many that we have to prioritize them, so there's some locations that may meet that minimum threshold but there's other locations that rank more highly and it's an on-going process so as we keep getting new applications if it ranks more highly than one from a few years ago, it will keep sifting out to the bottom of the list. >> so what is the method that you use to keep track of the accidents or the collisions? >> well, the collision data comes in from police records. so we have that sort of. >> is that a data base, the information when pd enters it into its data base, it automatically populates your data base? what exactly --. >> oh, you are saying in terms of reranking and coll

i have other applicants that fall into it as well. >> but you don't have with you the application for the renewal of the existing permit, do you? >> not for nelson's, no. >> vice president fung: perhaps we should hear the rebuttal, and then -- >> okay. i just -- it's been so back and forth, i just wanted to make sure we're all talking about the same thing. >> vice president fung: officer, you still have time to make your rebuttal if you like. >> sure. on the nelson permit because that's what we're talking about. >> i believe nelson's is, at this juncture, mr. johnson you can refresh me, but i believe it was -- it should have been expired. he was applying for the bay bridge. so i think it will be over any way by the time this year is over. >> okay. thank you. >> when i'm looking at what was appealed and what was given to the department, the letter issued by the police department seems to be crossing wires. it refers to a denial of a permit for nelson's towing. it does not say revocation of permit for nelson's towing that's why our caption says denial of permit. so i don't know if they

first of all, thank you to all the applicants for submitting their applications and for their interest in serving the city. that's also greatly appreciated. and it's always hard to choose where you have more applicants than you have seats. so, why don't i make a motion with respect to the two seats where i think it's pretty clear in my view what we should do, and that would be with respect to seat 7 where we have only one applicant, and that's dr. o'neill who i think made a very strong presentation and i think has the kind of background that you need. i think she will do a good job. and then also for seat number 2, the reappointment of susanna russo who is currently on the body. my feeling is that as a general rule, you want some continuity and if someone's done a good job, i think it makes sense to continue with that individual. so, i would make the motion -- my suggestion would be i guess maybe we can talk about the other seat, but with respects to seat 7 and 2, that's what i would suggest. >> thank you. so, we do have a motion to move forward susanna russo for seat 2 and dr. shari o

i appreciate your application. i know that several of my colleagues and other folks have spoken to you about applying for the seat and we certainly appreciate that you have. at this time we will open up for public comment on this item. if you'd like to -- please line up, no order. >>> how long do i have, two minutes? >> um-hm. >>> my comments are without disrespect to any of the applicants, particularly mr. oka. i'm sorry, supervisor farrell isn't here to see phase two of this task force purge completed. so, it looks like everything is going to plan, although the task force has been crippled for the last five months.

okay any public comment on this application? okay. you can be seated and the matter is now with the commission. do we have a motion and second before we discuss it? >> i would like to make a motion and just so everybody knows, there has been numerous articles in magazines about the lack of late-night food in san francisco. and late-night food is always a positive thing in my view. it keeps things lively and having said that, i think late-night food is a good thing. i would like to move to approve this permit, striking police condition no. 1, granting it for only six months, if we grant the permit and striking police condition 2. i would like to grant them the after-hours, seven days a week. everything else can stay on the police conditions. that is my motion. >> we have a motion. do we have a second? >> second. >> any further discussion? call the roll? >> commissioner hyde? >> aye. >> commissioner joseph? >> aye. >> commissioner tan? >> aye. commissioner lee? >> aye. >> president newlin? >> aye. >> okay. good luck and we'll go from th

i appreciate your application. i know that several of my colleagues and other folks have spoken to you about applying for the seat and we certainly appreciate that you have. at this time we will open up for public comment on this item. if you'd like to -- please line up, no order. >>> how long do i have, two minutes? >> um-hm. >>> my comments are without disrespect to any of the applicants, particularly mr. oka. i'm sorry, supervisor farrell isn't here to see phase two of this task force purge completed. so, it looks like everything is going to plan, although the task force has been crippled for the last five months. the purge of the [speaker not understood] now leaves just two standing. and if the [speaker not understood] and the new american media don't stand their ground, then those two incumbents will go. because i'm sure that what's important is that you not have anybody who has any institutional knowledge or there be any continuity. i was born and raised in chicago and i practiced law for 50 years. mayor daly

and, so, i want to thank all the applicants. but my motion, i'm going to make a motion to reappoint the four commissioners that have reapplied for reappointment. and, so, it would be a motion to reappoint vera haile to seat 1, gaime to seat 2, theresa chee to seat 5, and commissioner enssani to seat 9. so, that's my motion. >> so, we do have a motion to move forward all four incumbents to the seats that they currently reside in and i'll accept we can do that without objection. i do want to -- i'm just take the time to thank our commissioners. like all of our task forces and commissions, it is fully volunteer, but you speak and represent the city on very important issues and spend a lot of time reaching out to our communities, in particular with this commission i think works on a lot of issues that are near and dear to my heart, coming from an immigrant family. and i do really appreciate the diversity of this committee and also the dedication that i feel that the commission represents. i'm happy to support all four incumbents. su

there is one seat and one applicant. >> i believe the applicant is here, mr. [tkpw*-eurg/]. grgich. it's the same format as before. >> my name is michael grgich and i'm 17 years old and i go to gateway high school. it is in district 5 and i live in district 8. i believe that graffiti is an endemic problem in the city. i have been affected by it in my own personal property and my family has as well. and many people i know. while it's not a high-profile problem that gets a lot of attention,ti think it's one that ought to be solved and one that will improve the quality of life of everyone in the city if it's solved. i use public transit pretty much everyday, both bart and muni and i see that muni in particular has been affected very heavily about this issue and i think that its service could be improved if it didn't spend so much money on graffiti abatement. i have attend the graffiti advisory board three times thank you. >> thank you so much i just wanted to clarify, i know you are applying for seat 12 and first of all it's great to have young people, young residents interested in ser

we'll open up to any public comment regarding this application? commissioners my name is stephen castiliano, this was thorough le vetted throughout land use process and there was a particular neighbor who had some concerns and the city of san francisco planning department sent them a two-page, basically codes and requirements to clear up some of the matters. he was very happy with that. in addition, he contacted our office and we sent him a security plan. he was very happy with that. he is also very happy with the fact that most of his concerns were addressed in the good neighbor policy, which they are going to follow. the last email that you got was basically one of contentment saying look, the concerns that i have had have been addressed, and he also thanks us for prompt and excellent communication. now as far as things that we have been in contact with the pd. this is not a mystery. the fact that the security plan seems to be circulating throughout the community and yet the pd doesn't have it, i don't know what happened. it may have been someth

he did submit an application already. before i tell you a little bit about myself, i just want to echo what supervisor elsbernd said about dan weaver. he is awe inspiring, a legendary neighborhood advocate and he would do wonders on this committee. a little bit about myself. i'm a practicing attorney in san francisco. i live in westwood park. i have a son who is now a sophomore at [speaker not understood] high school just adjacent to the balboa park station. i am also a member of the board of directors of the ocean avenue association, the cbd that mr. weaver is the executive director of. and i'm currently serving as treasurer of the ocean avenue association. i think it's fair to say that ocean avenue corridor has turned a corner. we've seen tremendous improvements in the area and i think now is precisely the time to focus on the balboa park station and all that that can offer to the entire community, city college, [speaker not understood], and all the residents in the area. i bring an open mind and a commitment to service

application. >> it's a restaurant and the perimeter would allow the applicant to host bingo and live music and your packets include expressions of support from approximately 110 individuals. there are also about five letters objecting to granting the permit. the letters speak for themselves, but the comments among them are complaints of outdoor amplified sound over the past several weeks in response to outreach conversations and concerns with the neighbors, the applicant has removed the speakers all together. ? >> marcia garland again for the applicants. it's right on the corner. the complaints have come from people who live on sycamore, this is a physical therapy business and i believe that the person who owns that also lives there. i'm not absolutely sure. i'm sorry about this map that covers it up. this is the sycamore restaurant and near it would be where the back area of the patio is. as soon as we acquired this client and as soon as we realize there had were outdoor speakers we asked that they be removed. so these are the brackets in the patio, illustrating that they were indee

it is the date of applications that the requirements be effective. so if you are to submit now, you have to meet the 2009 requirements. if you are to submit now on a permit with a sense of details in 2010, you do not meet the requirements, you meet 2009 on your permit application. so if somebody were to have submitted something last year, up even though the addendum was coming later, the state of your permit application, foresight permits, you know we have something called a process where you submit an umbrella permit saying here is the concept, the size, and the shape, and you go through the planning review and approval process. you do not want to do all the details and architectural drawings, because that could take the story off. and later you submit an addendum. the agenda are now permits. -- not permits. the only permit is the site permit, but first umbrella permit. so the trigger is the date of the application. >> then at what point do you submit the guidelines? would that be during the site permit? >> yes. you submit this checklist, and as i s
