commissioner borden. commissioner borden: it is very enthusiastic to support this project and i remember when i was living in cal hallow and the issue came up in the presidio and a lot of people thought that was not the location for the world class ard art opportunity and we have developed a flourishing art district with the moma and the upcoming mexican maw second degreeium and -- museum and there are a lot of great cultural resources and seems like it is a logical response and thing to do. i am so excited to be part of making that happen. i think it's also amazing that we get to build a brand-new fire station, one much better positioned for the clients and i work downtown sometimes and the fire truck is trying to come out of the fire house and it is lock down in the neighborhood with a taxi from city hall during the one of the big conferences and it took 30 minutes. i was cursing myself for not just taking the muni because it took so long with everything that was going on in the corridor. and being so l

commissioner borden? commissioner borden: i wanted to say one final thing that i meant to say earlier. in terms of the issues around entrepreneurialism, i think it would be fun you were talking fabt you can't get local citizens or encourage businesses from japan, but you might want to look at how you can do some fun incubator and partner with organizations that go incubator stuff around small businesses. i think one of the challenges in the african-american community and often in the japanese-american community to get the next generation to want to do stuff but they don't necessarily want to run their parent's bakery or restaurant. if you can figure out fun, innovative ways to encourage businesses that might be a little different but get the younger generation excited about having the businesses in japantown that means something to them to explore. and one of the challenges we are trying to figure out with all the different cultural communities within san francisco, how do you keep the next generation wan

walter borden spent over a year interviewing ross and his family.ss' parents painted a clear portrait of a family riddled with dysfunction. michael ross had a troubled family from the start. >> he was conceived in rape. his mother was 16. his father was somewhat older, just got out of the marines. they met. they dated. was it a rape that would hold up in a court of law? i don't know. but she felt raped, which is the important point. she termed it she felt she was zapped. it was coerced. she felt violated. and then once she knew she was pregnant and told her mother, she was shamed and basically forced into marrying dan ross. that set the stage for a long relationship with this child michael. she felt trapped in a marriage she did not want and which she grew to hate. and he was the cause of that trap. >> borden says during their marriage, they had an unhealthy relationship, especially when it came to sex. >> the sex wasn't loving. held down, felt violated, felt overpowered. and then on the other hand, sex might be withheld or used as a weapon by her a

commissioner miguel: commissioner borden. commissioner borden: i think that what was just discussed about taking this back to the residential design team is the best thing that we can do. and because this is a common situation, this falls in the not exceptional extraordinary category but to the category that maybe our guidelines need to be exmrord and how to fix that. and i don't think applying it ad hoc to some people and not all people is not a fair process and should be applied with the process as it is and in the future look at how we modify it, but for today i think this is what -- these are the guidelines by which people were operating under and it is not exceptional or extraordinary because it is very much a common place problem. commissioner miguel: commissioner moore? commissioner moore: and i am going to let this project go by and the d.r. requester is not here to participate in the dialogue and that is too bad. but adding 460 square foot deck on top of a residence is kind of -- doesn't quite ring true to me. and i

borden is abscent. we have the calendar items proposed for a continuance. item number one is case 2009. 01. this shows the proposal for the continuance for january 12. the staff has informed me that they are looking to a continuance to february 9, 2012. this is for 1111 california st., proposed for a continuance to january 19, 2012. case 147 south park avenue, for a continuance to january 19. case 2010. 1013 thd, proposed for continuos to december 15, 2011. 13, 14, and 15. this is for 3218 mission street. we're asking to continue this item to january 26, 2012. case 2010 for 5358 mission street. and item 15, case 2010. january 26, 2012. the city attorney will have a statement to make, regarding the last three continuances. but with that, i am not aware of any other items on the calendar proposed for continuance. >> and are there any other items proposed for a continuance? -- >> bob barney? -- >> i represent the knob hill association. i want to thank you for granting the continuance and we look forward to seeing you on january 19. and is there additional publ

commissioner borden: aye. commissioner fong: aye. commissioner moore: aye. commissioner sugaya: aye. commissioner miguel: aye. the item has been approved. europe commissioners questions and matters. commissioner moore: -- >> you are now at commissioners questions and matters. commissioner moore: ideas were presented. some provided answers, and as always, there was a huge group of new questions. very insightful first set of questions came from the bay trail, describing at least eight very specific projects which would be advantageous to be accomplished. at some point, perhaps we can get a presentation. very positive response by everybody who heard it. along fisherman's wharf in the jefferson street area, which makes so much sense. i think there will be a major push to understand how that really can help the city as a direct benefit from the america's cup. i will report on the other details as they come up. there was solid discussion, and i am positive that the right people are sitting at the table. commissioner antonini: often, we discuss ways, the subject of

commissioner borden: you can have at&t take readings in your building. i live two blocks from this location and i can tell you the coverage is terrible. all of my friends, it's just the worst. the marine that in general has some of the worst coverage around. the devices that are really problematic up people forget ipad, not just a phone itself, but the coverage is terrible. the other devices, they're feeling the need greater than the actual cell phone usage. that is the challenge. people often compared just to their cell phone coverage. it is about data coverage. i don't know if you saw the packet, but they show where the coverage issues are. i would encourage you to look there, but as far as the health issues are concerned, that is something the health department would deal with. in terms of a fire or safety issues, the building department would deal that and i encourage you, if you want to talk to the building department about how they deal with wood frame buildings and in tennis, that would be your best bet. other than that collide move to approve wit

commissioner borden: one of the things i had suggested was maybe the health department process, there could be a hearing there because that makes a lot more sense since they are dealing with health issues and can talk about how they come to the decisions that they do and what the maximum exposure limit this. having them take that. right now they do not have a hearing and that is just something i would suggest. >> commissioners, there are only two items on the regular calendar for the historic preservation. they consider it the transit draft eir and i do not believe there was any public comment. the second item was planning code controls for amendments to articles 10 and 11 and they adopted staff's recommendation and then considered memos and suggestions submitted by supervisor wiener. that took some time and they did not get to complete that. the continued that until their next meeting. that is all from the historic preservation commission. that replaces under general public comment. at this time, members of the public may address the commission on items of interest to the public that
