the stairs in the public right-of-way in the direction of dpw. i would advise that a finding that the project sponsor has committed to work with dpw on an agreement in that area or conditional approval that they use their best efforts to work with dpw on such an agreement. it definitely seems the project sponsor has committed to doing that and that could be on the record and your findings, but ultimately dpw would need to approve that. >> thank you. i appreciate the comments, i appreciate the design changes. i think there have been improvements made since the last hearing and i think it's important to get this all in the record. i'm challenges about the mere fact that this is a cu and necessary and desirable. the most recent housing pipeline, we are at 197 percent of our allocation above moderate housing. i have no fantasy there will be affordable housing here that in this location with these neighbors with this kind of view that this could ever happen, but it's very difficult to find the logic behind feeling that this is necessary. i think that

at mission and south van ess and the idea there is to move planning dbi, and dpw and create a permit center, and so, right now, the permit center at dbi does have desks for the puc, and for the department of public health and for the fire department, but, with the ability that with more space, to be able to expand on what permits are facilitated through there and this is all in the very beginning, you know, stages, and so, i am or will be attending these meetings and representing, the office of small business, and oewd to figure out our role and integration and also, having kind of a customer service perspective, so, i just want to let you know that that is in or is just starting to be discussed. and and what i have attended one meeting and we are touching on some of the larger structural things, right now. and components but, we will soon be getting into kind of the programming of the facility, and with the bottom two floors being the permit what they are calling the permitting center. >> yeah, i just want to say that is so smart. because i know that if you deal with dbi or the perm

it would imcommodity access there's no denial for the permit i want to make remarks for the record dpws position that despite the fact they concede that the permit was properly granted under the older smf order they found it will not income mode the sidewalk but at&t is not in compliance with the new recollections the reality as of today dpw has not issued the new rules and regulations three weeks over the deadline the department remains in violation of ordinance i you don't think it's fair or legal to deny my clients permit because it hadn't followed the rules and regulations because it's not been recorded a few general points b about general activity it's true that generally speaking as a matter of law cities can pass now zoning ordinances while the permits are pending and retro actively apply the permits such as the one here this evening surprisingly there are exceptions to the rule i'd like to make two of them bring two of them to our considerations the first expectation is when there's a maurntd statutory time limit and the city acts within time limit and the time limit expires the

crime and allows the business to commit an unfair business practice tobacco sales ordinance allows dpw to spunt suspend a permit up to 90 days for the first time violators but because mr. on he requested the id he looked at the minors id and the department did take into consideration the challenge with the english language, the health officer was license number convenient for the suspension of 15 days it's fair and consistent with first time violators or violators that made an attempt to discover the age of the minor i'd like to conclude why dpw is enforcing this to minor cases the u.s. surgeon general had the fact sheet about pretending tobacco eye i do not know young adults the fact sheet states the following everyday more than one thousand 2 hundred people in this country die due to smoking each of those deaths at least two youth or young adults become regular smokers everyday almost 90 percent of those smoke they're first cigarette bin 18 early vascular damage is done early teens who smoke are not only short of breath today but end up with lungs that not grow to full capacity it's

and we have a number of dpw staff, and paul, buratis and richard, and patrick here, listening to our discussion today. right now, going down the 101 to get the asphalt in the city and there is interest, because right now we don't have a lot of recycled content in the asphalt in the city and a new, asphalt plant has the technology now to incorporate up to 50 percent recycled content. and so, dpw is also disposing of a lot of asphalt at a great expense that could easily be recycled and so one of the ideas that we are presenting today and as we need to talk more with the community about is are we interested in pursuing this opportunity, again, and the city, has figured out that it is repaving funding stream, and like in the capitol plan that the city has adopted and i think that they are spending about 45 to 60 million dollars a year, in repaving. so there is a strong market for this material. and i know that it would allow, sustainable crushing to accept the asphalt grindings and make that a more lucrative business opportunity and add to that echo industrial that... was eloquent in des

johnson for at&t i have a couple of brief remarks for the administrative native record dpw's positions the permits is properly granted under the older owners which means the department found under the subject active guidelines it didn't have access to the public right-of-way she's not offered argument that the proposed maps would either violate the guidelines under the older smf guide order and while at&t is sympathetic to her concerns about graffiti as a matter of fact, of state law that's not a basis to didn't think the evasion permits and the argument she's making that utility cabinets at&t utility cabinets shouldn't be allowed in san francisco because the tag was denied by board of supervisors filing on the facts i ask the gentleman from at&t about this cabinet i could not say that but they say in the no an at&t cabinet because at&t didn't put locks on their cabinet given that no evidence has been prepared by appellant it would imcommodity access there's no denial for the permit i want to make remarks for the record dpws position that despite the fact they concede that the permit w

dpw they changed their policy so i understand when small business from the community says at&t met with us and will tell the hoff we'll, you know, are in agreement and mr. hearing officer we're in agreement why do i approve it we look like the bad guy when the department denies the permit and informs us to appeal so we can, you know, essentially tipped to uphold our statutory rights we've tried to do the right thing as so to ms. shorts point about the implicit waiver it doesn't say we wave our right to comply with indicting can. i will say it's not - particularly when you write the city ero telling me please comply with state law. regarding the new legislation i have to make a couple of points for the record. at&t's position is that the board can't apply for the new legislation to at&t. as the board is familiar with the public utilities for the time and plays and manner it must be applied to all equity in an equal manner it didn't say it must be applied to all equivalent intermits which includes the city as the superior court here in san francisco recently ruled in a case involving anot

i also this is not on your or in your notes, and i also wanted to acknowledge supervisor weiner and dpw with the idea and the castro merchants brought up the lightning, and which was a brilliant idea and so you know, this is an expression of appreciation and again, a stream lining concept, and the dpw is actually going to set up a little shot, or a little area, so that the merchants can go, or don't have to come down to you know, city government, and if they want to do sidewalk tables and chairs or they want to do the permanent display of the commerce dies up front of the store and so they are going to set up the satellite place for be able to apply for the permits which was just a great idea. and the point of sale registration i started to reach out to supervisors, and on this. formula retail, the two pieces of legislation are out there and they have not come before the board of supervisor land use committee yet. that, and the likelihood within the next maybe, month, we might be seeing some movement. the california redemption policy is what we call the crb and i met with debbie who is
