a couch other things the dr requester they want to drop the height of that section we're talking about called the dining room or is breezeway and i think the present height is 11 feet externally and 11 feet internally i can ask the staff about the height of that section >> according to plan yes. >> i'm trying to accommodate some of the height if we drop that down to a 10 foot exterior height that brings us with the 9 foot interior this is a nice size room i'll suggest that and we could gain more light coming in the light well, and to the project dr requester and the other thing is on that section where the windows are i'm not i'm not sure it's part of the glazing it was optional a couple of feet away's raise that up to 3 feet at least 3 feet because that will give plenty which windows. so raise the window in the dining room >> not raise the window itself but the part that's not glazed it will leave it a little bit better as far as that's not gaining anyone it's a low area. >> the lower sill of this is 36 above the level. >> 36 inches minimum it could be a little bit higher i want to ma

seeing none, dr requester you have a two-minute rebuttal. >> one thing mr. bash has indicated michelle's kitchen window won't be seriously impacted by the project and he write "the proposed project will actually improve the light in your kitchen window and you would still be able to look up and see the sky." so that top photo that is existing kitchen window and bottom with the project. so really the only way to see the sky is if michelle khryaps up on her counter, sticks her head out the window and rotates it 180 degrees and looks straying up. so that window is going to lose most of it its sun and we accept that. what we are trying to do now is maintain as much light that comes to the rear as possible. project sponsor shadow studies show early morning light won't be changed. the problem is it doesn't get any early morning light. the topography is such that by the time the sun comes over the hill, it's already mid-morning. so there is no early morning sun. also the project has now two large plate glass windows. those were also built without permits. in 1910 p

and i have already been told by the dr requester she is going to take this all the way. as commissioners moore and sugaya have issue of overlot coverage and the fact that the zoning administrator is not seeing the interpretation correctly. i am willing to cutback the rear of the existing structure as along as it's not going to be deemed a demolition. another five feet or even ten feet to make sure that we have the 25% open space requirement and we can move on with this project. so i will give dr requester less reasons to to a round and bring us into a variety of other issues at the board of appeals. i just need to make sure this doesn't fall under the definition of a "demolition." >> so to interpret what you are saying, you would be taking five feet or a little more off of the rear of the existing cottage, to create more of a rear yard or perhaps upper floors to create a deck there. >> correct. so there will be ground, dirt. there is not going to be any building on it, but have the 25% that commission sugaya and commissioner moore's understanding of the interpretation of

dr requester? >> if you start speaking and refer to the monitor sfgovtv will turn it on. >> good afternoon, my sister had to -- cannot be here due to work-related travel. she lives in unit 3, 1096 ashbury street. it's at the rear of the complex. so it doesn't get a lot of light. the unit only has side windows and due to the steep terrain, the sunlight that comes through the windows from late-fall to february, peers over. these photos basically show the path of the sun as it travels during this time of year. you can see that the proposed building will impede directly with this path. the sun shines through her windows not just to the rooms with the windows, but further in through the kitchen doorway and in other words, the sun that comes over the cottage, illuminates every part of her small home. although we know from the shadow study all of the sun will be taken with the project. at the last hearing it was stated there would only be minimal loss of sun, 1-2 hours. all toe it may be true during the f

and this is the section that the dr requester was more interested in others. please understand that the plans only note items that's relevant to other items today, there are other changes we'll need to make when we get into the building. this is a 3-d rendering of the light well, it's quite large and this is even giving a better idea. i also prepared another shadow study without the front edition on the alternative i'm preparing today include in your pact that was originally not distributed we can't see that i ask you to look at that. i think it's important beginning at the 1 o'clock in the afternoon from 8 hours everyday we receive direct sunlight at the front of the building it's articulated in the south and east and at this point, i'll ask you to approve it. there's a lot of information if you have questions please address them >> dr requester. >> could i have at the projector turned on and left on commissioners mary. the planning department and we agree when you have two separate buildings on a lot it doesn't matter if it's one or two unit we have to have

if you have any questions, i'll be happy to answer them >> dr requester. >> that's a mandatory arrest project sponsor. >> please. >> okay. i'll the architect i'll be presenting this and donald strickland the owner. before we start with the specification we need to look at what's there and the complexities of the neighborhood and take those elements to the design process. what we have right now ding. two things actually, the big tree we actually like and made sure we designed it around the tree and have this 1932 building it's had a lot of poisoned maintenance but that's no reason to turn anything down we got into the structure apparently, the foundation were made by sea sand so all the fountains have to come out they have beautiful structural the electrical, plumbing is all from 1932 so by the time we fix everything there's not unify left it would be much more difficult to fix it then to start over. that's part 2 i want to get into the general neighborhood. the general neighborhood you'll see a lot of mainly 4 or 3 story some smaller 2 story buildings and a lot of flat apartments. so

i mean if he could compromise around 15 or 14 feet if the dr requester if you get take more off that section >> if you give me one second i want to respond i know i brought this up but the neighborhood pattern there's a radish if we're saying we need to have a 25 percent rear yard i checked with my architect we can chop that but to say that the neighborhood pattern to have a courtyard in the middle there's no other home we want to have the 25 rear yard that's follow the code as commissioner moore that understands we can do p that otherwise we're chopping this random before mely i'm personally offered to drop it to 8 feet height is a person in a wheelchair is that okay. we've done i don't know how many shadow shoes it showed they're absolutely no impact >> i want to know if you're receptive to some shaving of the middle section to get this finished today. >> it's finished. >> i'm sorry. it's finished the motion failed and he has the project i'm not going to vote for a continuance. >> okay, sir let see. >> commissioners a motion and acceptance on the floor to continue the matter and to

dr. blon could that commissioner mendoza-mcdonnell requested is valid and if you could give that to the board it will be greatly appreciated but right now, we're ready for a resolved and mr. haney. ms. maufas. commissioner mendoza. dr. murase. commissioner wynns. commissioner norton arrest president fewer. 6 i's. thank you very much. art on to our next item. discussion thank you pursue discussion of other education issues. no one. cds resolution. none. i think we're time to vote on the consent calendar. >> mr. haney. ms. maufas

congress, and we cannot do our job appropriately if you don't provide us the information that we request dr. lynch, given the fact that you declared the issue of misunderstanding in the first brief as staff has related to me and the office of inspector general report issued today substantiated inappropriate scheduling and said it was systemic throughout, do you believe that you have the credibility now necessary to identify and fix the problems? >> mr. chairman, believe i used the term misunderstanding with respect to the references that were being made to a secret list i did not make any qualifications of statements as to whether about the actions occurring in phoenix were appropriate. >> is your contention that there still was the secret list? >> it is my contention that there were a number of documents, three of which were identified by the ig today, one of which we identified earlier, that were working documents used to provide informations about patients for addition to the wedding list a rescheduling of patience. that did not think there were secret. i think they could easily have bee

dr. espanola jackson. i've requested the other day to the board of supervisors to call for a hearing dealing with the a m i for history for those of you no aware from the 60s when redevelopment came into our community they talked about in 12970 affordable housing ways occurred is you have a staff that came about lastly from the mayor's office of housing that has put together a m i that says how much money you must make to qualify for affordable housing. now i've been saying for many years and you've heard me my have been saying affordable to whom not affordable to the people that live in san francisco. and commissioner antonini you may talked about people moving in but what about those of us who have been here all our lives homeowners those of us who have retired and don't make $48,000 a year to get into a one bedroom unit there needs to be a hearing about san franciscans i don't hear nobody talking about those you're here to represent. now the affordable stuff you need to be aware and i'm so happy you finally passed all

dr? grateful so we provide the notices of the commission and if anyone wants to requested mandated to a dr hearing >> i have not done that much thinking about the administrative review frankly but my he concern is that having it come back to the commission as a conditional use sets up a different sort of standards like under the cu it has to be necessary and in demand it puts it on the applicant but under the dr it is up to us to say so there's a twist even though there's an appeal and could come back to the commission once it gets into our decision making camp it's slightly different. >> that's an interesting point we mention the 0 thirty three criteria but i think we need to do more thinking of the mechanisms on that. >> along those lines. and specifically to address that issue we have with every conditional use we're not chaipg the conditional use process for formula retail to exude the possibility if a starbuck's or formula retail i don't mean to pick on starbuck's goes out of business but the cu expires which it didn't now it runs with the property; is that right >> from a burger king

congress and we cannot do our job appropriately if you don't provide us the information that we request. dr. lynch, given the fact. >> and that's live. that's going on right now. fox news chief congressional correspondent mike emanuel joins you live from capitol hill. what is going on there, mike? >> well, greta, you get a sense that house veterans affairs chairman jeff miller has had it with this investigation. earlier this afternoon, after an interim report from an independent watchdog came out saying that these phony schedules that the phony numbers were doctored up by the v.a. in phoenix that all that is true. jeff miller came out and said eric shin seq.y the secretary of veterans affairs it's time for him to go. it's time for new leadership. so tonight up here on capitol hill. a very rare occurrence a hearing with three mid level officials at the v.a. and essentially saying that the v.a. has not provided information, has not been very forthcoming. unless the committee threatened to turn up the pressure on them. is he frustrated. he's answers and hearing that this independent watchdog h

and yet you dent request a meeting with dr. foote?he time was concerned that it might interfere with the ig's investigation. >> you know, i think your concern was, it might interfere with the truth. and i got to tell you, how far this problem goes. because the fingerprints of y'all that are at this panel today are all over this problem. because i can tell you, you are not being forth right in your testimony. >> your response? >> i laughed pretty hard when i heard him say that he didn't do it because he was afraid of, interfering with the investigation or compromising the investigation. when he was here, organized a little party, he had some friendly veteran service officer groups that came in. and they had a little presentation where she had some nice pretty graphs for how she had reduced waiting times. and you know, i did not hear of any type tough thorough investigation. i don't think this investigation was any more thorough than what the doctor's was. >> sir, let me ask you. you are retired. do you think it is harder to make the va

dr. cilio is testing as pooh single compound. the pharmacological compound is made by requestnies in canada. low levels of thc and other coma cannabinoids. >> we decided to use pure cannabidiol. we thought it was safer. we know how much we are giving so we can evaluate the effect. and also, we thought it was the time to do tonight a way that was more scientifically sound. >> how do you feel about the gw trials that are happening here in the u.s? >> the worst thing that could happen is for that product to be too different from this one. and if it doesn't work and then the scientific and medical communities come back and say, oh, we already looked at that, so just pass it by, that's the worst thing that can possibly happen. >> people tend to see only possible benefits. and i understand, because when you have a child with intractable epilepsy your hope never ends but people have to understand that risks are associated. we want to trust the drug in a scientifically sound way to give answer he more than just excitement and hope. >> but answers could take years. specifically, why cb

dr. mike's matrimony trail. the wife between gloria and shirley. >> i think the man is dangerous. >> near the end of her in the view, mike's ex-wife makes a chilling request>> i will be honest with you. if something happens to you. he need to be investigated. >> now two more wives suspect dr. mike was frying trying to p them. one of them says, hold on, that's not all. wife number three, gloria, reveals, a terrible trauma she says happened in her marriage nearly 30 years ago. she says dr. mike, the man who had always killed her with kindness, tried to kill her with a mallet. >> and i was asleep. and, he hit me in the back of the head with the mallet. >> with a mallet. >> yes. >> and -- all of a sudden the pillow went over my face. and his hand came under the pillow and covered my nose and my mouth. >> gloria says she escaped by playing dead and then running out of the house. >> you want to the hospital. >> i went to the hospital. >> we told them i slipped in the tub. >> did you ever ask him at any point why were you doing that? why did you try to kill me? >> yes. he told me he had gotten stung by a jelly fish, he worked in china. and that it was a reaction

dr. >> right. >> we're at a dead note hearing. >> why is that relevant. >> they didn't file a request to the planning commission. >> are you suggesting they carton bring their containments to the board. >> oh, they failed to captive their requirements. >> are you arguing they are denied. >> i'm suggesting. >> did you provide some sort of impact consequences about the structure. >> gary we'll ask the staff we had necessary discussions but it wasn't relevant because we brought in photographs the meeting notes that were forward to the staff. i didn't read through the meeting notes were there any concerns raise about the light >> mr. chang at 8 flood was concerned about the mass of the building and next to him we notched the building all the way down to the ground we couldn't match it but cut it to the sky. >> the light issue is it about the structure to the side vs. the yard in the back or on top of the roof where's the impact on the light the adjacent properties. >> on the two at the 92 circular ms. occurring religious house has windows so the windows are not on the property line her building is at the time set back she's not required

dr. foote? >> i did not. >> why didn't you ask for a meeting? here is somebody that clearly was at the center of the storm, you're there to understand what the process was. and yet you didn't request a meeting with dr. foote. >> i at the time was concerned that it might interfere with the i.g.'s investigation. >> i think that your concern was it might interfere with the truth. and i got to tell you, how far this problem goes. because the fingerprints of you all that are at this panel today are all over this problem. because i can tell you you are not being forthright in your testimony. and i think the model for the veterans administration, and let me tell you, there are a lot of good young men and women -- of all ages that work for the veterans administration. the rank and file. and they are -- some of them are the whistleblowers. because without them, we would have no idea what's going on. because the leadership of the v.a. and the tragedy here is that the impression that you give, all you today, is that you are here to serve yourselves and that haven and women made extraordinary sacrifices country. nothing will change in the until weadministration and not justership from the ver

the only corrective back was a request to send out a memo to the department. we don't know if dr. carignan -- dr. correia was disciplined but he accepted a new job in pennsylvania. >> if you have a tip for tony kovaleski we ask you give us a call at this number or send us an e-mail. >>> i want to get back to the breaking news in san diego county. governor brown has declared a state of emergency. there are seven active wildfires burning at this hour. several of them close to cities, specifically in carlsbad. thousands of people have been evacuated. three homes at last count, have been destroyed and several more have been badly damaged. this is a difficult fire to battle because of the santa ana winds and high temperatures. jeff ranieri is tracking the conditions down south and in the bay area. >> we have better news for tomorrow. california bad, san marcos, some of the areas dealing with that fire activity, the worst right now, should see winds tomorrow go from what was 60 miles an hour today down to about 15 to 25. so we think that forecast will be improving. by this weekend a muc

dr. lynch didn't provide a response to the committee's request regarding the statement because the office of the inspector general was ongoing and his own investigation was ongoing and at the time my understanding is there were no facts on which to respond to the committee's facts in the letter so my understanding is we stuck to the facts in the letter. >> is this unique to the va? when you talk about your continues, are these technical difficulties common among all agencies or just specific to the va? >> technical difficulties? i am not sure. >> well, the concern that i have is the fact that the committee asked for very basic questions, very narrow questions that would not interfere with the inspector general report and we thought it was something we should be able to get without problems but there seems to be an ongoing delay in getting information to the committee and any time we asked about certain information the standard response is we cannot give that because of our legal counsel and that is the concern i have. the fact that what appears to be irrespon irresponses from the very bas
