>> commissioner honda: the antenna. >> oh . >> commissioner honda: is it the box? well, she said it's only 1 inch more because they decided to combine two units into one, right? [inaudible] >> commissioner honda: sorry. sorry. >> sorry. so just pointing here. so this -- kind of the radio equipment and -- sorry, radio equipment, and then, further up, the antenna? the top equipment is what's larger. the bottom equipment is about the same size. >> commissioner honda: so it's not four times larger. >> i don't believe so. i don't have the other carrier specifications with me? but we have been poling the equipment on city owned poles to be pretty consistent. >> commissioner honda: thank you very much. >> vice president swig: question. the subject of excellent view and notable street, you know, we -- i think about a year ago or so, we bounced one of these because it had a gorgeous view of golden gate park, which i would consider this view significantly better than the one that we bounced. so how do you qualify significant street and excellent view and validate that becaus

decision -- >> commissioner honda: commissioner swig, can i interrupt for a second? >> vice president swig: what am i missing? >> commissioner honda: no, no. is it required to look for alternative sites? so that's the thing. i think prior, because verizon and at&t had so many cases before us so that they did not -- they tried not to come to the board of appeals, that they did alternative sites. >> vice president swig: so you're telling me you like verizon to at&t. >> commissioner lazarus: buildings -- these do not go on buildings, they go on poles because it's a completely different facility. >> it's not required under article 25. >> commissioner honda: thank you. >> vice president swig: and one more short one, to follow up on commissioner honda's question -- i think it was commissioner honda. it's late, and my short-term memory is going to heck. it wouldn't be the first time that a third party vendor made a boo boo, and that we have had several occasions where there has been bad noticing. they just -- bad noticing. it's a mistake, but in my past experience at least,

>> i was using it as an office space, yes. >> commissioner honda: thanks. >>clerk: okay. mr. kern, do you have anything to add? okay. commissioners, the matter's submitted. >> president fung: who'd like to start? >> everyone looks at me. >> president fung: well, i'm going to propose that we need to see the drawings, and i think we need to see what the scope of work has been done there, and how it matches up with the drawings, so i'm prepared to continue -- make a motion to continue this case. >> support that. >>clerk: okay. and we have january 23 or the 30. >> president fung: 23. >>clerk: okay. so -- >> president fung: does 23 work for both parties? >>clerk: do you want to clarify when you want the plans submitted? >>. >> president fung: yes. we'd like to see copies of the permit drawings, and we'd like to have d.b.i. do a correlation either through a site visit or review of the documents with what has been done on-site. >> may i ask a question -- well, first of all, mr. kern, can you step up. just trying to alleviate a car crash here, which is probably going to happen any way

>> commissioner honda: i'm asking. so prior -- even though there was no notification required for this particular project, the project sponsors or the owners of the property sent out that they would have meetings with -- with evidently the neighbors. did you not get any of these notifications? >> when were these sent out? >>clerk: quiet in the audience, please. >> i get every piece of mail. i only got a notice posted on the door from somebody across the street with a different -- they're building something across the street, and i went to that meeting. >> commissioner honda: okay. i'll get the information. >> okay. i got nothing, and i attend everything. >> commissioner honda: okay. >>clerk: next speaker, please. you can come up. you can start walking up. that's fine. >> yeah. >>clerk: thank you. please go ahead. >> hi. my name is lauren lai. i'm a neighbor. i am kind of excited about this project because i truly believe that this project can add very positive aspect to this neighborhood because as of right now, the bu

somebody -- >> commissioner honda: it's late. it was said. >>clerk: you going to make a motion? >> president fung: yeah, condition number two on the permit. >> commissioner lazarus: i'll make a motion. >>clerk: okay. >> commissioner lazarus: for further discussion. >>clerk: can you speak into the microphone. >> commissioner lazarus: yes. i'm going to move to deny the appeal and grant the permit on the basis that it was properly issued. >>clerk: okay. we have a motion from commissioner lazarus to deny the appeal and grant the permit on the basis that it was properly issued. on that motion -- [roll call] >>clerk: okay. so that motion fails. >> president fung: i'm going to request -- >> commissioner honda: a continuance? >> president fung: -- that we continue this case so that we can have the department resolve this issue on notice. >> commissioner honda: how about clarifying the new pole, and the definition on the new pole. >> president fung: well, there's already been a motion that lost. have to be a continuance. >> commissioner honda: i agree. >>clerk: okay. so we have a motion f

we have that motion from commissioner honda. on that motion, president fung. >> i. >> commissioner lazarus? [roll call] >> that motion carries and i will administratively dismiss those two appeals. we are now moving on to appeal seven b. this is appeal number -- item seven b., appeal number 18-127. >> renovation of the kitchen and bathroom and the replacement of two walls. we will hear from the appellant appellants first. you have seven minutes. >> may i ask a question? is there someone representing the permit holder in the room? okay. thank you. >> high. good evening. my name is caroline duffy. i reside at 50 alta, apartment six. i have called this my home for ten years now. i have to say, by alta street standards, i am somewhat of a new person on the street. i was already pretty nervous to start off with. so this is going into, clearly a very emotional issue. what i like to do briefly is walk-through -- the reason as tenants we felt compelled to file an appeal. this is just to give you a visual of the property that we are talki

i have some thoughts. >> commissioner honda? >> commissioner honda: i'll let you start. go ahead. you're the president this evening. go for it. >> vice president swig: i -- this is -- this is tough. i purposely asked the question about -- to mr. sucre about if that corner lot wasn't there, and if in fact that building sat on the corner, would it have proper rear yard coverage with the -- with the current plan, and you answered, mr. sucre, yes, because we would take the -- the measurement from the yard next door. and it does -- and then, i asked -- and then, mr. duffy covered a question which i had in my mind, also, is that rear yard satisfactory from a security and safety standpoint, and he said it -- it seems to be, and i agree, 25 feet, which would be adequate for -- did you not say adequate for safety and security purposes. so for -- for me, both those answers were okay in the context of doing the expansion. and i -- i can't help, and it's not because it's not subject to any of the appellant's comments, i probably can't take it into consideration, and -- but the house -- i can'

>> i'm okay with it. >> aye. >> commissioner honda? >> commissioner honda: that motion carries 3-0. we will now move -- that concludes that numb per. bemove on to 5a through 5e and these are five appeals related to christopher cole, kristine gardner, ayca erbilgin, emrah kostem, and protesting the issuance on august 1, 2018 to bill canihan of a site permit, the change of use to convert an existing single-family house to a two-unit residence with horizontal and vertical addition. remodel new kitchen, new bathrooms, new bedrooms and living space,, new decks, and install new elevator. excavate rear yard and add fire sprinkler system throughout under separate hermit. did the appellants decide how to present the case? you have a total of 35 minutes. >> yes. we would like to do it individually. 7 minutes each. >> yes, please. >> what order would you like to do it? >> i'm going to go first. i'm robin. and then kristine. then napthali. >> them emrah and then chris cole. >> okay. all right. thank you. >> thank you. so you have seven minutes please. good afternoon, members of the board of app

it grows about 36 inches peryear. >> commissioner honda: yeah. i noticed in the brief that the monogrowth was pretty significant. >> okay. thank you. >>clerk: thank you. we will now hear from the department of urban forestry. >> good evening, commissioners. chris buck, san francisco urban forester, with the deputy of urban forestry. if i could have the overhead, i'll go through some slides in our presentation. i want to say right out at our public works hearing the other month, this property owner has definitely maintained this tree for a long time. most property owners would have pursued removal many years before now. that said, i'm going to go through our presentation and why at the staff level and departmental level that we denied the request for removal but also how we feel at this point in time in presentation for this evening's hearing. this tree is an ash tree. we've got a number of these planted on masonic and other locations throughout the city. it does have some weak attachments, so the report submitted by the applicant, they are referre

. >> commissioner honda: okay. i'll start off with this project in its current configuration has undergone quite a bit of process through our city departments. we're talking it's gone through the planning commission, planning department, building department. we can say that it's fully vetted. the past project, i'm really not concerned about because that's not before us this evening. i'm not willing to reduce the project in any scope, and to be honest, when you appeal a decision from the planning commission, not only -- this does a de novo board. not only can we not agree with them, we can add the decks back on, and so that's always a risk coming to this -- coming to this commission after the planning commission has made theirs. what i see before us on this project is a fully code compliant project. it's not asking for any variances or exceptions, and the fact that the current owner did an ellis act, that's a decision for him, and at which point there's a deed restriction on that which does not concern this board. i

we have a motion from commissioner honda to deny the request for a rehearing. on that motion, president fung? >> that motion carries. the rehearing request is denied. we will now move on to item number 5. this is an appeal number 18-103. subject property is 317 dorado terrace. appearing -- appealing the issuance of a public works orator. approval of a request to remove three street trees without replacement adjacent to the subject property. this is order number 188150. on october 17th, 2018, the board voted 4-0 to continue the matter to november 7th 2018 to the permit holder had the opportunity to discuss the potential outcomes including replacement of the trees with the bureau of urban forestry. commissioner tanner? did you have an opportunity to review the video materials for the appeal that was heard on october 17th 2018. >> yes, i did. >> thank you. we already had the appeal on this matter. each of the parties will get three minutes. would you like to hear from the department head first? >> let's do that. >> okay. >> good evening, commissioners. i'm with th

. >> the reason i asked the question is because and as commissioner honda mentioned. we used to have a lot of these on a weekly basis. we haven't seen it for a long time. perhaps the guidelines are having some effect, and the primary question we used to ask and we never could get a good answer to was the creation of the nexus between the penalty and the infraction versus what other infractions in dealing with underage purchase were. as an example, abc first infraction is $200. >> what? >> abc. you sell liquor -- sell the liquor to a minor first infraction is $200. we could never establish the nexus between the penalty done by the department with individual cases. >> which looks to me you bridged that gap as far as i am concerned. >> we tried really hard to listen to the community and the stakeholders and board of appeals. i plead you to uphold di to up e susspecks in this case. >> mr. yahya aldabyani you have three minutes to address the board. >> i see in the case that it is my lively hood is in danger because of this isolated incident that never happened before and

commissioner honda, disclosure. >> my second disclosure of this evening.'m a partner and a they have hired us this evening and will not have any influence on my decision. >> thank you. we will now hear from the appellants. >> good evening. we are with our mission, no eviction. we would like to see this decision overturned and scent back to the planning department so they may consider this case with eight -- with the full facts at hand. we would like the decision amended by the board so it includes the additional conditions that the terms be extended to the mission community in the event that fitzgerald does not fulfil the full term of their lease as well as the a.m.i. on the additional b.m.r. unit. the planning commission approved this project despite the fact it fell short of the super inclusionary housing requirements of the mission area plan objective 2.1 and fell short of the mission area plan 1.7 to preserve and enhance production, distribution, and repair, p.d.r. and businesses in the mission. there's intimate -- debate among the commissioners whethe

we have a motion from commissioner honda to grant the appeal and revise the section 29 large projectauthorization to require that the current p.d.r. space remain in effect and as memorialized in the specialty that restrictions need to be recorded on the property on the basis that the planning commission erred. is that fine? >> can i make one suggestion that it be the proposed. it is not the current p.d.r. space it is the proposed p.d.r. space. >> the proposed p.d.r. space. >> and we have to add the language that the d.a. said. that the p.d.r. use is otherwise underlined. >> the proposed p.d.r. space and -- [laughter] >> you are losing me here. >> you are doing really well, director. >> that was good. it is just that the proposed p.d.r. space, as allowed under the zoning that it doesn't -- >> as allowed under zoning. >> i will try again. >> can i ask -- >> you can. change the word of effect to permit with regard to the p.d.r. space. in perpetuity. >> the way it reads to me is that the first time around, at the very least, it should sustain as p.d.r. i think it was the intent of the co

. >> commissioner honda: if we move it forward, we'll probably have a second bite at the apple. >> i'd like to clarify, i don't understand how these types of matters come under our jurisdiction or the payments between parties for certain things come under our jurisdiction. >> i'm sorry. i thought the proposal had something to do with in project, they were going to do -- >> they were going to modify an adjacent property to add possibly a sun light -- >> the project sponsor is proposing modifying a neighboring project. i would agree that is not part of this particular project. that would be a private agreement between the two parties. that's what they wanted to agree to. >> how do they handle it? >> between themselves. >> does it become part of a site permit later? >> yeah. they would make a private agreement that would resolve any potential appeal. they would agree, we won't appeal your site permit if you agree to do x for us. >> so in fact, although -- although we would accept that there would be good intention from this project sponsor to do it, and we would like for the neighbor to t
