. >> president chiu, supervisor wiener and kim, my name is steve cookland and i'm with carline and the flare diversified properties, 520 townsend street. i want to commend the west soma task force and in general i believe the plan has done most things right. however, the proposed restriction on lot mergers of 100 feet that caroline referred to, i believe is counter to the countergoal along townsend have, which is an area that is supposed to be of larger scale office development. the high-tech digital tenants that require much larger floor plates need large sites to accommodate them. the u.s.p.s. at 550 townsend is immediately adjacent to my client's site. adobe and zinger, et cetera. clearly 100' limitation along townsend is not consistent with the scale of the area. lot merger restrictions are more appropriate for neighborhood-commercial distributes which explain where the existing restrictions only apply to haves and national council on disability on hayes, church street and market street. we have reviewed our proposed changes with jim nicko, toby levy and planning staff corey teague

i went to manhattan in the fall of 2005 and the big boss of the whole group, nancy shepherd and carlin coburn in publicity. we met in a little room and i stated my case and they said, this is your first book so you need to listen to a few things here. first of all only 12 percent of nonfiction books make a profit and 2/3 are pre chosen by the publisher. we'd like to put our marketing arm behind us but your having to fight tear riz m to this. since i grew up in africa and worked pakistan for many years you never settle a deal without driving a hard bargain so i said if the hard cover doesn't do well, i'd like the subtitle changed later on for the paper back. julia and our other board relently pounded away month after month. i was in pakistan of december of 2006 and there was a new editor on the book and they said they decided to change the title to one man's mission to promote peace. the hard cover didn't do that well. sold 20,000 copies. while the paper back came out on january 30th of this year and since out it's been on the new york times best seller selling over 700,000 copies now.

carlin came out and the contractors merely said that they were moving in and setting up their equipment and start getting ready to do work. but that no work was actually commerced until after the permit issues. and nearly moving your tools into a space and setting up painting equipment and the like is not in itself constitute work without permit. it has been vacant and bays of that there was been vandalism and it continues to attract further criminal activity and this is a business that is already in san francisco. it is relocating. it has insurance only where it is and it is relocating to a different space and offering a more of a variety of services. and we know that because the name on the lease is not the name of the insurance company, but rather the financial services company, whose headquarters is in oakland and is not in irvine as alleged by mr. williams. >> excuse me one minute. >> at this point i will just turn in the various documents including irs documents and edd documents and secretary of state documents indicating very clearly what the use is financial services. >> thank
