the power of the eminent domain was utilized to keep the space open. and now, this has put a much larger building in the form of a library on the side. i would call upon the members of the board to support the eminent domain reform, to put checks and balances into this process. and any approval rights i may have. and at the time, to show you how perfect this process was, at the time they had voted on this, with the parks and recreation bond fund, both the parks and recreation commission with the open space advisory committee had voted against this. the superseded this and only later did the reverse this. i think that is all that i have to say. i think the property should be returned to us. i think that this should be respected for us, not just as citizens or private property owners but for every citizen in the city for the due process and respect for the rights. thank you. >> thank you. >> at this time we have special orders at 3:30. we can come back to this hearing with any member

eminent domain is a serious matter. i have not spoken about this before. they were talking about how much that they would pay him and his partner. i have 17 pages of this, and this is california law. i offer this to you if you wanted. i am waiting for what was promised in 2004. i understand that because of improper notice on this lot, no decision has been very inadequate. these are on polls and that the library, and only four of them have dates on them, and this is not really a notice at all. two of them talk about april 23, two of them talk about june 7. that is everything, when it comes to the public. most of the north beach public does not know that mason street is being closed, and the businesses are very against the closing. they have not been properly notified. >> thank you. >> good afternoon. i have lived one block from the library for 46 years. the last time the group address you, we were asking you not to build a two-story library in the open space. and this clearly fell on deaf ears. in fact, one supervisor said he was happy that the long battle
