i did my homework working with three-bedroom units. at a minimum we will have 40% of two-bedroom and three-bedroom units. we have not gone to the point of designing specific units. again, that will be a fact right now we are getting the on the load that says you need a minimum. but we have not indented is something they will look at. as far as public benefits, i address that earlier with open spaces. this is privately owned land as we do not have the benefits of public financing. i wish we did. it would make george's says that -- similar. but we do not. i think that that pretty much covers it. when i tried to answer your questions. thank you. if and i have my lawyer with me. [laughter] clark may address you on some of the questions about planning. by m. fairly intimately familiar with the establishment of the feed. i negotiated the final language of the original and george has been a part of the bayview hunters part community for 30 some odd years and has a relationship with them. but has also been concerned about the wider community. w

impact review, regarding our program, our proposed program contemplates approximately 60% of two-bedroom units, at approximately 15% to 20% of 1- bedroom studios, and 15% to 20% of 3-bedroom, again, to be more responsive to the marketplace at the time, each individual building comes in -- >> could you go through those numbers again? >> of course. approximately 60% of ticket we would-bedroom. and then approximately 13% to 20% of 1-bedroom or studios, and that approximately 15% to 20% of 3-bedroom, and again, those numbers would be responsive to specific market conditions as we come in for the permits moving forward. i have nothing more to add on the transportation planning issue. i think mr. burke and dressed it quite well. just on your questions about height and the original proposals regarding height on the upc buildings, there was one 240-foot tower that after community and staff in but was reduced down to 200 feet, and there were two towers that were out along the properties that were originally proposed that 150 feet and 130 feet respectively, and those were both reduced down to 85-foot he

right now, it is a generous two- bedroom unit. there are also two extra parking spaces that would be awkward to use and not terribly functional. we request that you stick with the 17 spaces. it is the best balance between adding community parking and making that lower unit remain viable. we do agree with the russian neighbors that the 17-space garage be managed by a single entity so hourly parking can buy in be operated -- can viably be operated. finally, before our time got cut off, zoe was showing you a 10- foot setback that we presented today. it was rejected but seems like a good solution. if you are not comfortable with the set back that we previously produced, we're willing to do the additional 10-foot matching might well, matching his light well. we think that solution goes more than a long while -- away. -- long way. president olague: thank you. commissioner antonini? commissioner antonini: some observations and questions. part of this is that there are areas where the city is chronically under-par, particularly in neighbo

we are allowing the demolition of two-bedroom units, against the long standing demolition policy to protect our housing. if this product is to happen, the least we can do is to mitigate the incentive to displaced tenants and preserve the affordability of the one dozen 538 units for the life of the building. -- for the 1538 units for the life of the building. i stand not to support this development agreement, but i think if we are going to talk about rent-controlled for the future of the development agreement, this is language that i think is stronger than what is existing currently in the legislation. i will pass out a copy of this motion. supervisor mirkarimi: i think we may want an opinion from the city attorney about the ability to amend the development agreement. would that be ok with you? supervisor avalos: yes. supervisor mirkarimi: not the city attorney. >> the development agreement is a contract. there is legislation approving it. the board of supervisors cannot amend contracts. the board can vote them up or

neighborhoods that are accessible and friendly to families, so the number of units that are built or the number of bedroomsnd the types of units that are built. parking is going to be one of the other issues. i, of course, support san francisco being a leader, but i also see at times that people may need that car, especially if you have a family, to get your kids from treasure island, one of the developments in san francisco, instead of being isolated by being on the island. we have to look at trends and policies from a perspective also of the needs of families as well. >> let's talk a little bit more about transportation, specifically in your district. how is muni service? what about parking, traffic? >> san francisco's transportation system i believe has a lot of great qualities. we have good bustlines in our richmond district. i'm always looking at creating more efficiencies and finding where the needs are. there have been some cuts over the years, so -- to bus lines, like along the outer richmond district area that have led many seniors without a bus route to get up the hill or to get down the hill to

billboard, the light that reflects off this billboard, and tears my living room and bedroom and all of the other condominium units, as well as the light that reflects off into the neighborhood in the middle of the night and is not consistent with the residential quality of the neighborhood. the commission has few opportunities to limit nonconforming uses, and i believe this will be the last opportunity to ameliorate the effects of the elimination of this billboard. i am asking that conditions be placed such that the billboard not be eliminated past 9:00 p.m. and eliminatedre--- and not re- eliminated until after 7:00 a.m. president olague: thank you. >> thank you for your consideration. president olague: is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioner fong? commissioner fong: maybe i can ask the project sponsor to speak to the height of the existing antennas, if they are operable or not. is it a different company? >> good afternoon. i am here representing at&t. we held an informational neighborhood meeting on may 4, and we invited over two dozen neighbors. -- over 2000

bedrooms. from the site plan in your package, the proposal would be to demolish those two buildings and construct a three story, two-unit building that would have one additional bedroom for a total of five bedrooms. at this time, staff would like to recommend approval of the demolition and approval of the new construction. staff feels the project would demolish a structure within the existing rear yard area and therefore restore open space. no tenants would be displaced by this project. the project would actually create a better designed family- sized dwelling unit. on balance, it is actually better in keeping with the neighborhood character and appropriately fills the site. i would be happy to answer any questions. >> thank you. project sponsor? if you have any thing -- if you have anything to share with us at this time? >> i am the project sponsor. i just wanted to share the story behind why we are trying to achieve this project. i grew up on this very property 40 years ago. this has been my home since 1972 or 1973. in wanting to keep this in my family, we are looking for a place to move in the city. i have two young

they always say the number of units in a development and not the number of bedrooms. there is a big difference here for the number of people that can be put into this housing. we also have a nc

they always say the number of units in a development and not the number of bedrooms. there is a big difference here for the number of people that can be put into this housing. we also have a concern about the ground water program because it appears that a consultant in the peninsula since the state field for the whole offer is about 10,000 acres the current year, and i believe the peninsula -- that the offer -- aquifer is about 7,000 acres, and we would not be able to draw the 4 million acres per day which the projection is for. they might not come on line in time. i am concerned about the period of time between 2015 and 2020 as far as enough water supply is concerned, and i think another consideration is the aggressive conservation. 66% of the city lives in bolten family dwellings where there is no meter. they are unmetered, so there is no motive. i think those numbers projected are high. those are our concerns. president vietor: thank ycommis? i have had one conversation with steve, and i will have more before this comes back. one of my objections for this document

united states for those who rent. a coalition says that 60% of renters in the county cannot afford a typical two bedroom apartment. a two bedroom goes for 1800 a month. that mean as person has to earn 73,000 a year to afford the represent. the average renter make, 5 8000- dollar as year. >>> a group of nurses protested cuts in public health by the county supervisors. >> that has got to go. >> they marched outside of a meeting and they're considering eliminating public health nurses. they work for the children's services program f they are eliminated it could delay care and put children at risk. the county is trying to bridge a budget deficit. >>> dozens of borkers rallied to raise awareness a problem they say hurts all americans. >> not here! >> they gathered outside of the federal build fog speak out against work site enforcement rates by immigration sports. they say they spread fear in the community and do nothing to target employers to exploit workers. >> this economy works because of the work and the hard work that they are doing. they are doing their fair share in the community. we just want to see them comin

units themselves that make all the difference. things like a kitchen counter that's low enough to chop while you sit on a bench. things like that. or a master bedroom the same floor. on the ground floor, rather. things like this attract people. pick wisely what you play up but make sure you know where those people are coming from. >> finally, we've got pam from florida writing, i want to buy a piece of property for $1.8 million. all right, pam. after i made my offer i was informed the property is a short sale controlled by the bank. i learned about $80,000 in arrear property taxes? shouldn't the bank be holding the mortgage? >> short sale is an agreement between homeowner and lender to sell the house for less than is owed on the mortgage. so, it implies a good deal. it isn't always a good deal. it depends on how you negotiate. there are absolutely no rules to negotiating with a lender different than it is with an individual homeowner, but the difference is, is that there's no emotion involved and you usually get a straight answer. what you pay for the home should have nothing to do with it being a short sale or not and whether or not you want to pa
