do those tourist rooms have private bathrooms, some of them? >>> commissioner mar, it's how the hotels were set up. when they came up with this s-r-o audience, from what i believe is what the city did their room to room hotels and asked people, how many rooms are occupied by people more than 30 days and how many are not? that's how they came up with tourist rooms and residential rooms. primarily these hotels are not run as tourist hotels. they're really run as residential hotels. it's pretty hard to rent out rooms in these residential hotels to tourists because the clientele that are there. and, so, that's not usually how it's done. >> but there are tourists in some of those rooms? >>> not really, no. >> okay, thank you. >> other questions? time for public comment or rebuttal first? do rebuttal? okay. do you want to do rebuttal? >> no. >> no. any public comment? >> public comment is three minutes. >>> hi. we're doing like a mini presentation, but we'll be quick. so, my name is [speaker not understood] and i'm an organizing coordinator for city

people still love their bathrooms.of them as an important room, as an investment for their home. yes, there is the gamut. some people are really just for function and utilitarian. some of them are large and lavish and everything in between. >> we are going to start looking at a couple of little vignettes of bathrooms. we can talk about fixtures and use that as a springboard for questions for our audience and discussions from some of the manufacturers we have here. let's start by looking at one right back here. this is a really interesting one because this has some of the characteristics of a traditional san francisco building. it has this starting with the board, i think it is called, and it has both old-fashioned kind of pictures and real modern stuff. what do you see here? >> looking around, it has gone a soaking tub. >> it has little jets in a, so like a spot/hydrotherapy kind of thing? >> exactly. what people need to be mindful on for these types of tubs are two things -- number one, they have a motor, and you have

there are a few hotels that have individual bathrooms. the majority of them are shared on the floor down the hall. we have always i've been at the mission sro for over 5 years, always large percent are seniors. we began the conversation about two years ago and the conversation was about the changing needs of people. a lot of people here in san francisco -a lot of low-income tenants - get locked into their home. that can be a good thing, it can be a bad thing at the same time. a lot of people when they move in, to choose a home a place that meets their needs, as they live there for years, as people get older, the disabilities change, obviously they become more difficult for people to live in these buildings. the way that the market is here in san francisco with rents going up and up, and rent control design here for folks who have been in their homes for years, is not a whole lot of options other than to stay in the same place and try to make modifications, and make that home work for their needs. a background on sros: three of them serve

even in a bathroom, ther

bathroom access. what bathroom access will espresso subito provide. we ask the question because our group must comply to regulations to health and ada issues and the increase in mff results in our group having to turn away walk-ins from the street. asking to use the bathrooms. our just to use the table and chairs to sit down and eat what they bought out on the street. last, adequate notice, we are not aware of adequate notice or any such notice that had been provided to the effected business and building owners within the 300-foot radius, if proper steps had been taken, perhaps we could have shorten the discussion of these above issues. please, over turn this approval for the second street and 150 california locations as they will be within the 300-foot radius of starbucks and many others. in doing so, restores balance to the permit process. i have another statement for a person who had to leave. shall i end mine and begin the next one or sit down and someone else speak? >> you still have time. go ahead. >> good. >> this is for deborah sellers of sell

to make a wheelchair-accessible bathroom, it takes a lot more space than a regular bathroom. so, it is a problem oftentimes with small businesses. especially if you have to do two of them. and it cost about $15,000 to $25,000 to build a wheelchair- accessible bathroom. for restaurants, bars, it's a truck, there is an issue on the height of the counters -- for restaurants, bars, at such wreck, there is an issue on the height of the counters. that keller would make the person wheeling up on in the chair not be able to be eye level. you cannot have it like that. you have to have a portion of the counter down level. it is 34 inches. i daresay most of the counters will not be that size if you have a business like that. however it may be. that is not what the normal business layout is. tables. there is a percentage based on the number of seats that have to be wheelchair-a accessible. they are required to be appropriately designated with a placard. you can get that any press run supply store. in place with commercial interiors can furnish you with those placards. you also have to ha

>> i did and someone asked me to use my bathroom. is that weird?ooh, that is so weird. >> did you let them? >> yeah. >> a kid or an adult? >> like a mom. >> if she was really hot -- >> if a hot chick wants to go poop in your bathroom they're not hot anymore. [laughter] >> everyone is so charitable until it comes to like being nice to your neighbors. >> walk your ass back to your own house and [beep] your own toilet. >> did she leave fun

in the recommendations, we suggested having grab bars in bathrooms. in the server we found that less than half of seniors and people with disabilities that we talked to reported having grab bars. not everyone is coming out and saying we need grab bars. people don't necessarily realize that is a problem until people fall. we know that is a major source of injury. in terms of the financial impact going back to the city to say look at the money we are spending on hospital bills on people who slip and falls when that can be prevented by having grab bars in bathrooms. that is one thing we want to work on, and working phone jack along with affordable telephone service. working phone jacks are required by state law; a residential hotel, tourist hotel is required to have that. pretend that i did not say that. in sros, every room is required have a working phone jack. people are dealing with a lot of isolation. i mentioned people with disabilities who may be in the room where it is hard to get out. the staircase to be rickety. the elevator may be broken. there

. >> how about bathrooms? >> there are -- there is one full bathroom on the ground floor and one full bathroom on the second floor. so, there are two bathrooms. >> can you item me the square footage? >> i'm sorry. [inaudible], two full bathrooms on the second floor. >> do you know the square footage of the house overall, by any khans? chance? >>> 4,000 square feet. >> and again, with the licensing requirements with the state, maybe in the future, you know, not that we have to know everything about it, but is there a standard amount of square footage? >> [speaker not understood]. >> maybe the project sponsor can speak to that. >>> the minimum square foot for one person is 8 feet by 10 feet. and the rooms are more than that. the rooms are -- downstairs it's 10 feet by 12 feet. the main room is -- >> is there a requirement for rooms? >> 8 by 10. >> you said you have 7 bedrooms. is there a requirement each person have their own room? >> not each person because upstairs, the three bedrooms upstairs are quite large.

if you do a bathroom remodels, they are saying the job cost $18,000, you might recoup $15,000. the hard part in determining that, to compare apples and apples, is to look at a house in the sunset district with a single-family home with one bath, or is it a 3-bedroom condominium in the castro where maybe everything else is really done fairly recently and updated nicely, but maybe the bathrooms never got updated? that would probably change dramatically the resale they'll -- value on that universes' the house in sunset. these are wild figures. we have to go to seek professional advice with the intent of satisfying your goal, whatever your goal would be. this is a question when representing sellers that we get all the time. it should i do this or that? you really need somebody that is in the industry to come with you and go through and say, don't do that, but painting this would be great, but don't put in a new counter in the bathroom or kitchen. it is item by item, neighborhood by neighborhood. sometimes, sellers are under the impression that if they agreed to the kitchen, that wi

thinking about the door to the bathroom. you want to have a nice, white door. 3 feet would be very nice. even a little bit larger bathrooms are you could maneuver in it would be helpful. >> let's look at some six. we got an e-mail from some of who watches us online who had a question about whether or not there are any downside to getting one of these vessels sinks, one of the six that sits on top of the counter. >> that is one of the reasons i like j.c. plumbing. they have a great selection, and i can make my point. let's compare these two six. this is a bowl shape, and this is a ceramic that comes straight down. the disadvantage of this -- and it is very beautiful and makes quite a statement -- and i alluded to this before. it is about cleaning this, and coming year. getting down here, that is difficult to do, so that is going to be more difficult to clean. this is a good one. again, clean lines that come straight down. there is no difficulty cleaning that. >> would someone call that -- caulk that? >> absolutely. make it wa

when she left at about 9:00, she decided to duck into the bathroom. the man followed her. thomas jefferson library in falls church is a place of quiet refuge and it like mad, about the last place that you would expect violence to one fold. >> i have never seen anything that happen. at a 17-year-old female said she had felt a man had been watching and following her, so she ducked into the bathroom. the police say he followed, refused to leave, then touched and pushed the young woman. he fled after she kicked and screamed. >> that is really scary. i come to the library almost every day. >> this woman is troubled by the brazen nature of the attack. and it is really surprising. sometimes you see strange people, but the fact it went that far is scary. >> watching from my car sometimes, it gets kind of creepyight because the lights are really dark and it gets emptied. >> the authorities have provided a good description of the suspect, african-american male, approximately 5 foot 8 inches, 170 pounds with a distinctive facial features, including a shaven head, a diagonal scar acro

. >> the building code amendment reduce the living area to one 50 square feet and the bathroom has to be separate and the total including the separate bathroom and any closets can be 220 square feet and the existing building code allows for a living space of 220. >> okay so we are going to one 50 to 25020 and i'm not sure about the kitchen is it included in the main space. >> it's included in the main space, okay that may be one thing that i would like to suggest to the respond cor if there is a way that we might want to separate that out although the kitchen doesn't have to be a separate room but it could conceivably be a five-foot wide area by ten may be which, is the cooking area and it's something to think about and i'm okay with it as it is but it might be better if it was a little bit larger in that regard and finally while i have you here, the three modifications the first modification is obviously is no cap and i would vote against this legislation if has a cap even though i think it's very promising i think we should pass it without a cap if the supervisors want to put it in

it's quite difficult to use the bathroom to get all of the kids ready. the project sponsor and dekoi and irene have two children they have a nine -years-old daughter and four -years-old son and so they are a family and what it's like to raise young children and to have family home in the need and this is designed for a family with children. the project site, the sooner the -- in the area have demand for diversity of housing and in fact it's an area where families and children like to go and -- [inaudible/incomprehensible] and so they have a diversity of demographic there and we believe that we have done everything possible to address the concern of the neighbor. the problem with not being able to set the fonts back is that it's just set back to -- and do i have have enough room for-two-three bedroom and the other two; the two and three bedroom, i meet the whole list of this work of this site and to put two bedrooms and the site and putting in a five bedroom in the back by the planning department, i lost the ability to have two berms that it's sufficient

it changed how i thought, i checking out the bathrooms when i went in.he fish on monday already. what changed? >> since the time period covered in this book, a lot has changed. it's become for better or worse a glamour profession to cook. people care. customers have higher expectations. they care what the chefs think. and the chefs are very aware of that scrutiny and standards, the expectations have changed. unless you're eating at an irish public on monday the fish special, you know, you're expectations for a great seafood meal would be low in any case. eat the fish. >> okay. >> one of the things that interested me we were talking about twinkies i know people that serve doughnuts as dessert. is that okay with you. >> like doughnuts. i'm a cheap date. >> you don't want to cook. >> me personally? i like cooking. >> you don't want to own a restaurant. >> i had 28 years, three decades standing on my feet in restaurants in a constantly uncertain world come paired to what i do these days. life is good. i'm in my 50s. little use in a professional kitchen. >> i
