hundreds of people use bernal heights hill and no toilets. no toilets at glen canyon park. there are other priorities rather than making a trail down a steep piece of land that connects a child's play ground for an area used for dog walking. thank you. >> thank you. >> joshua. >> good morning commissioners. joshua [inaudible] with bright line defense. we're a nonprofit community organization that works to promote sustainability in low incomes of color. i want to speak about a particular issue -- i -- >> is this about the ? >> no. >> well, we're going to have public comments afterwards. i was having them finish up. >> i'm sorry. >> there will be public comment. >> sure. i will take one letter if you want to distribute it. >> anyone else that wants to speak on the ? i suggest that we take public comment closed and we will take new public comment at the end of the meeting. >> okay. item four is closed and we will take general public comment again on item 10. we are now on item five which is the consent calendar. anyone that would like to speak under public comment for the cons

it will also have a far reaching benefit and people come to noe valley from the mission district, bernal heights, glen park, diamond hietds and the cast tro and beyond and all neighbors districts will benefit too. i strongly urge you to pass it. it's a wonderful place. thank you. >> thank you. >> kate and then hunter. >> hi i am indicate sherwood. i want. >> >> ditto to everyone that spoke before movement i have been a resident for eight years which maybe the shortest time of anyone so far. i live on the border and my kids go to school. i am here as a resident and taxpayer of the city in large part because of the noe valley farmers market. my husband has made friends with the farmers and cooked from food from the farmers market and it might not be significant but it doesn't happen when you go to safeway and we came into the community from those that came before us and double income no kids. we thought we would move when we had kids and we are staying because of the farmers market and i urge you to give my kids a place to play other than my living room and dining room and chandler. i requ

. >> my name is mikeel nolan and a resident of san francisco since 1970 and living in bernal heights. hi the pleasure of meeting cesar ascarrunz and he's been a pioneer and a hands on guy. when you give him a license you know he's going to be responsible in managing the place, managing the people, welcome being the customers, taking care of security. >> >> and playing the 59's on in the. >> >> and playing the piano in the band. this is in a warehouse district. i showed cesar the place several months ago. it's an existing ball room which teaches ball room dance classes and he saw it and he talked to the owner of the business and introduced the idea of bringing more people into this very quiet warehouse district to do dancing so i strongly support this. i think it will be great. dancing is very popular in this city and it will bring to this lonesome area of the bay view some culture and excitement. >> thank you mr. nolan. anyone else that would like to speak? >> hi supervisors. thank you for your consideration of this item. the project sponsor did reach out to our office and our initial

ball, that was the bernal heights appeal i referred to. >>> i should mention its was the appeal. it's just off mission street both of you are referring to. >> with the rotted out walls? >>> that's right. >> thank you. next speaker. >>> hi, my name is paul page. i submitted something to each of you. it's an e-mail. it's an e-mail of a project that happened on 5 37 natoma street in supervisor kim's district. and it was a discussion between myself, ben fu, and to a lesser extent john ram. what i wanted to highlight is that there are already timelines and deadlines on appeals to planning decisions, dbi decisions. so, it's not entirely true to say there aren't. and the other point i wanted to make that the ero mentioned to one of supervisor kim's questions is she was surprised or had never seen an example of someone appealing a project after the public notification period had ended. i work with nepa in transit projects and i see it fairly regularly and i don't deal with 6,000 projects or cat x's every year. even in the instances i work with perhaps 10% are appealed after the public co

. >> my name is christy, and i'm a resident of bernal heights. i'm here to ask the supervisors to do everything they can to recover any money the city might have lost, due to the libor scandal or any other shenanigan the banks might have pulled off in the recent time period. we've seen an -- horrific financial crisis leading into a recession, based on fraud, first of all, it was fraud, high cost -- based on high cost predatory lending. that in turn was bundled into fraudulent mortgage-backed securities. there's been fraud at every step of the way and thus far we've seen hardly any accountability against the banks. and it's really time, now, we have this opportunity to investigate any fraudulent lending at the local municipal level, and to recover that. it seems that a good bit of this money was perhaps in the interest rate swaps at the airport. i'm sure there are other areas where that has happened, and this is based on maybe those interest rate swaps help bring -- provide insurance, and stability, but nonetheless, there were losses there because

i'm also on the bernal heights design review board on west slope. i'm here to speak in favor of scott wiener's legislation and i wanted to talk specifically how it affects me -- well, i'm going to say i'm an architect, too. specifically, i'm a one-man shop and it affects small projects and small or just small-size projects. and what typically happens is if someone it going to have opposition or a problem, they'll file a dr. you go in front of the planning commission. the planning commission rules one way or the other, justly or unjustly, and that's when the first notice should take place instead of waiting for the last notice, because generally when that happens, if you're doing an addition and you get your approval from the planning commission, you begin the process of hiring a structural engineer, other consult apartments, landscape designers and you can go through a process of six months to do the construction documents. then you go through the process of submitting the building -- [speaker not understood] building department which takes another

project or whether you're doing -- and we saw, you know, we had an appeal a couple years ago out of bernal heights where a homeowner did a project on their home and their neighbors opposed them and they were able to get fully entitled in the middle of a project, they found that one of the walls in the building was rotted out. they pulled a building permit and to replace that wall, a nonrotted out wall, a ceqa appeal was filed. to me, again, people have every right to oppose a project whether it's a park project, the neighbor's home changes, but i think to have a system where you can wait and wait and wait and actually then file the appeal, even though you knew about the scope of the project, file that appeal in the middle of construction, that is not a rational way to make land use decisions. this is really in a way at the heart of what this debate about the first versus the final appeal because allowing that kind of system to persist is not the right way to make good decisions for our city. so, colleagues, if there are no other -- just one question? >> i do have a question on -- and i'll

i guess my question, at the bernal property we were holding on to the property for maximizing value to return to the rate payer. and i can understand why we do that. i guess i would have question as to why we might hold onto property to do something other than maximize the return. so, if our intent was to develop a use that was best and highest and best use, i'm curious as to -- and i don't need an answer now, but i am curious as to what authority we'd have to do that. >> i think we have the authority. it would have to be on a case-by-case basis. would you agree, counsel? >> certainly case-by-case basis. this particular extreme example, i don't think it would be within the scope of your authority to retain property because along with retaining property comes liability and cost if it was for affordable housing or something that's completely outside of the scope of your mission under the charter. so, but it would definitely be a case -by-case analysis. >> right. >> my only point on that is as we look at options, probably the simplest most direct option is if we determine that that proper

lou: the world is baby sitting this outrageous bernality. >> he is like a suicide bomber.ou: and he has nuclear -- >> he has nukes, that is the problem, he now has nukes when this is over, i think it will be over, i don't think we'll go to war at the end of the day, but what will have happened? after the bush administration, clinton administration, he will have nuclear weapons. lou: tell me, what would war with north korea look like? would we send troops like -- that worked out so well in 1950. or send icbns that would in my opinion be the appropriate response it would not risk our troops or pilots. >> what a war would potentially looks like, you stumble into it for example north korea test fire a missile this week. >> you are not building great confidence in our national security right now, stumble -- >> that is the whole problem you know -- we keep making speeches, north korea can't have nuclear weapons iran can't have nuclear weapons there is a red line between that and chemical weapons, every time, obama administration does not enforce what they say they will ep force,

of course, one of those names was cardinal bernal low of boston, who was accused of covering up a lotand he hasn't been either fired or -- >> and what does the vatican say to those who have called for that? for that to be something new that they do? >> well, they're saying, we are doing a lot. and we are improving all the time. benedict xvi started when he took over the office, was the doctrine of the congregation of the doctrine of the faith, which was the office when he was a cardinal of dealing that was meant to deal with all these cases. well, he improved the policies, he introduced zero tolerance policy. he asked all the archbishops and bishops is to send letters to him and communicate to him every case of abuse that was out there. and he tackled many of them. what the abuse -- what these survivors are asking are, while you need to expand the one strike and you're out policy that the americans, for instance, introduced, like cardinal o'malley of boston, who cleaned up that mess that was left down there. so maybe pope francis will be able to do. he's appointed cardinal o'malley to

cassie bernal was a sweet, kind little girl. she was active in her church. it was so important to her, her work in her church, that after she died her family set up a foundation called the cassie bernal foundation which provides support to youth ministries. i was a part of my youth group growing up and i know what a wonderful connection it is both to god and to your fellow adolescents, it was a big deal for her. she also was fascinated with the united kingdom, and she had a dream to attend cambridge university. she wanted to become an obstetrician. cassie would be today about 30 years old. she would have likely completed her training. she might be out there doing a residency or practicing ob-gyn. boy, do we spend a lot of time here talking about the fact that we need more preventive care doctors out there. cassie was gunned down that day, didn't get to live her dream, didn't get to contribute to a field that we know the importance of. it wasn't the only thing cassie cared about. she loved the outdoors. she spent a lot of time in breakenridge, had a passion f
