i am a property owner in the delores' neighborhood association. i have owned a house on delors for 16 years and i realize how much traffic that there is. i am really concerned about the possibility of delores street being made into a one main street. i think that there would be a lot of traffic turning onto delores. i am also concerned about the 14th street and the traffic that goes through there because i travel the street all the time. one way to delores and particularly in the morning, it is very busy. thank you for the opportunity. >> commissioners, -- >> president miguel, if i can just do some housekeeping, yesterday evening, the commission received a final copy of the review documents and i have copies here for the public as well. i want you to know that this included some minor revisions. this is a preliminary document that was published in november. i want to show you that those our editorial in nature. the only thing that i would mention is that any substance that is a revision is the excavation at the corner of market and delores. that i

i am a member of -- and i'm also on the board of the delores' neighborhood. this is directly across the street from this building so personally, i will be affected as much as anyone that has been in this room because i live across the street and i have to park my car in this area. so, this is going to change my life, believe me. one of my concerns is the mitigation. l development, we have three others going on literally within 200 feet of my window. i will be living in dust for the next five years. they will probably stagger these developments out. we will live in a construction zone with trucks coming at whatever time. not only will i be living in the building but after the whole foods is built, then you have the trucks and the parking. if that st., i know it will affect my life and i like the idea that you will come back in a year after the store opens and check on whole foods, because believe me, we have heard that the parking and the killing up for that start this -- for the store is sometimes really horrible. to keep them honest, i would like you to do t

right now we have the honor of introducing the delores huerta lifetime achievement award. >> tonightible work she did over her lifetime to benefit all the citizens of the county. we want to take a few moments to have some of her closest friends and colleagues come up and say a few words about her before we have carmen receive the delores huerta achievement award on her behalf. so please join us here at the podium. [applause] >> i was luisa's friend and neighbor for almost 40 years and she was one of the more inspirational figures in my life. i don't need to go through all the list of her accomplishments, which are in this book and which are not entirely complete. what impressed me the most about her was her dedication to her work as a teacher. every time i walked with her through our neighborhood or any other neighborhood in the city, without fail somebody in their teens or 20's or 30's would come up and acknowledge her and say, you know, you were my teacher in such and such a year and you were the best teacher i ever had and you helped me more than any teacher i ever had. and that w

mission play ground and the delores park club house.ll of those are factors which will keep all families in my district in the city and i think its worthwhile. >> the challenge of how to balance a competing needs of drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians, is it possible for everyone to co exist. >> i'm sensitive about this issue i think the bike lanes could be safsh. traffic could be better managed to make it easier to ride bakes and walk to muni stations and walk to work. its not just about safety its about beautification. we want to encourage people to bike and walk when they can. particularly in this area where everyone wants to use cars less. >> even though we are a transit first city our roads are not safe for bicyclives or pedestrians. we need to work on the potholes. continue to build bike lanes. we are doing better at building bike lanes, certainly, i think where we fall short in part is we don't educate the drivers within the city. i continualy hear from people who don't understand how bike lanes work. bicyclists are always on the

there are people buried at the mission delores. there are a few people buried here and in the presidio and other than that if you look at the other cemeteries were disenturd and moved out but you have to go in there and take a look and walking through this building it's a big building. it's three stories tall and goes around and around and there are interesting -- >> call emmit2861181 and he said give him a ring and he does tours. >> and they were going to tear this down and the people did something legally so it wouldn't be abolishes and not land grant but a technical term that prevented the city from tearing it down. >> it was abandoned in the 30's a society purchased it in ti terrible disrepair and emmit was there restoring it. >> it's by the cemetery and it's strange now but when it was built there was a huge cemetery around it. >> it's off of geary boulevard and lo rain court. >> geary and stanon. >> where the cornet theater is. >> here is another circular building. this is the old built line engine house and built at this tim

we like the entry and exit at the heart corner of market and delores, which we feel greatly increases the retail presence at the corner. we're excited by the cafe seating and feel this will enliven the important gateway to dolores street. we like the street furniture they're proposing. we like the way they are treating the corner. we are also very impressed with the porous nature of the design on delores that was not in some of the original designs. it is an improvement and has been made. lastly, we have also been impressed with the way they have responded to the concerns the community has brought up, and in particular i know there was concern about the property wall on the western side of the project, visible when one travels east. there were changes made to the wall to make it a more vibrant, exciting while to look at as well. we feel this project has been extremely well vetted. we are in support of it and hope you will be as well. thank you very much. >> my name is pat turra. i would like to ask if i can switch speaking positions with a colleague. he has a previous engagement and i

the delores' neighborhood and mission dolores neighborhoods. the site faces three streets. market street is the historic retail and mixed use hub and backbone of san francisco. we have worked on the design of the building to create three different buildings to identify three of the different characteristics of the street. on market street, which is vibrant and cosmopolitan, the design of the building is very clean and simple. it reinforces the ground-floor retail. to input received by all of the different neighborhood communities and neighborhood groups, we have added significant detail in the way the bay windows have been handled, and adding significant detail at the skyline of the building. all these were done in response to comments we have received. the corner entry and community terrace at the entrance to the whole food store will provide a terrific community gathering place and welcome entry for the retail function there. on dolores street, dolores transitions to a historical boulevard, a significant boulevard. this reflects a more workable, residential and landscape

it seems that this neighborhood has survived these issues before and i know that these are near deloresrk so i would be inclined to uphold the department. >> i would like to see an alternative expiration to save the tree. is there a motion? >> the action that commissioner garcia was proposing, does require modifying the order and you would be allowing and replacement. >> there are separate appeals before you that each need their own code. >> i would clear up the first one. i would move that leopold the department. -- that leopold of the department. >> i think i might want to add conditions. >> i think the contingency on the building plan for approval is already in there. >> thank you. >> if you can call the roll on the first item. the motion as from the vice president to uphold as it is. on the motion to uphold as is -- >> aye. >> no. >> aye. >> aye. >> the permit is upheld. >> i would move that we overturned the department on 1b because new information arose from the time the brief was submitted. the appellant would like to replace one of the trees so that would obviate the need for on

several ideas were actually modifying the entrance to the laura knows it -- to delores. after these proposals we did, we talked to the planners, and we realize sethat it has been set, but the median as if is cannot be modified, but the parts that is to preserve is the media and it sells. if you review the plan, you see that every drawing keeps it in attacked. -- keeps it in tact. it cannot be altered in any way. good >> just to yesterday's they reconsidered the votes of mission dolores neighborhood, and the specified the median was the significant point. irv that does not suggest we should not care what happened on the other hand. you should make a specific direction that we work for the final design of this and make sure it meets historic standards and is not just about land use superior -- land use. >> it is a street and wall, end it is a whole stain, so that is why if we could do that i would not -- it is the street wall, and that is why if we could do that i would feel comfortable. >> i wanted to speak to the overall plan, but i am completely in support of its curato

transportation might be more prevalent, i personally believe that there's going to be queuing on to delores street. so, i think that we should pay particular attention to that and monitor that condition. if the actual -- eliminating one lane, i would like to make sure that when we adopt this motion, if we adopt the motion, that we are not adopting this particular plan because sometimes there is confusion as to what we are adopting and what we are not adopting. the plan we have in front of us shows is it going down to one lane. i would just like to make sure that the understanding of the motion that is not being adopted by the commission. i would like to have consideration given to a post 9:00 loading our. i think that there should be some consideration given. i am looking up in the morning by the garbage trucks all of the time and that is one aspect of it. i think that almost every neighborhood group has commented about this particular situation and the importance of 14th street. i will offer that as an amendment to the motion. >> let me just ask them to seriously consider this. i would be

and fewer loopholes, such as reform to social security that for most workers increases the age and deloresthe adjustment rate of cost of living-- and lowers the adjustment rate of the cost of living. i was struck a few weeks ago giving a talk at the university of las vegas, and i asked the students in the room how many of them expected to get social security when they retired, and three of them raised their hand. the notion that we should consider social security as a sacred cow, that does not hold water. the younger generation is already recognized the dilemma. they recognize the need for reform. but that kind of spirit of shared sacrifice will only be established if we ask a -- every major part of the budget to contribute. at the end of the day, i fundamentally disagree with bob. i do not think you can make major progress on deficit reduction unless everybody has to do something. while i always like to ellis for guidance on fiscal matters, i do think that we need to up the spirit of sacrifice. and the national security area, they are risky. instant loans, they might be less generous. and

last call on president obama's speech last night in tucson, pennsylvania, delores is a republican. caller: i think the president's speech was very good. however, until we do something about the mental health and laws in the country and the gun laws, we will continue to have this problem. one other thing that i do not understand is why an establishment like wal-mart, a family store, would even sell ammunition to that extent. that boggles my mind. but i do think we have to do something about the gun laws. thank you for calling in. three more quick articles before we get to our roundtable of the gun laws and the united states. vicki kennedy ruled out running for massachusetts senate seat -- rules out running for massachusetts senate seat. this is from "the washington times) -- voters opposed to raising the debt limit. finally, "the chicago tribune," a big headline out of illinois. 67% increase likely to erase paycheck bump from the u.s. in about 45 minutes we will look at mental health in the united states, if it is covered, how widespread it is. but first, a roundtable discussion of

jack delore once said that nobody can fall in love with a single markets and frankly if we carry on like this, no one ever will. so let us look how we can put an end to all these restrictive rules, who could hold shares in which companies, where businesses can set up, how many people they can employ and most importantly let's deliver on this with a tough, transparent approach to enforcing the single market. failure and we fall further behind and succeed, we can add 180 billion euroses to the economy. our biggest factor was inoslaying those who invented the ipod and the worldwide web where is the world capital for high quality industrial design? not the u.s. not asia. but europe. we've got the raw material of the good ideas. we have to get better at exploiting them. access to finance is crucial. for every i euros invested in venture capital in europe more than seven times that amount is invested in the u.s. we said to do more to incentivize the same kind of risk-taking investment culture over here. now, back home we've introduced a peyton box offering a 10% tax rate on peyton income but a
