i support the request for dr.here is contrast between those who submitted their report for the dr and those who submitted their support for the project. the majority that support are the neighbors who would be affected by the project. these are the views that matter when considering this project. none of those who have submitted letters in support of the project would be affected by the project or even live in the same block. the supporters of the project are developers, realtors, or clients. the supporters have conflict of interest or views are irrelevant or both. two of the letters focused on the prior building being an eyesore. that building is long gone, but this is a subject matter issue. thank you for your time. >> you have one question remaining. >> hello. i live in diamond heights for 41 years. i am in support of this building going up. i love a backyard. in my 41 years here, i have seen over 20 new homes being built within two blocks around this project, and i don't see why this one property should not be

this aligns with the main rear wall of the dr requester. the roof has a slope that pitches away from the neighbors to minimize massing. the rear windows are sized and located appropriately and so as not to provide any exceptional intrusion of privacy this is not considered in the application of the guideline regarding privacy. the roof deck at the front is modest in size and serves a bedroom and set back five feet and therefore, staff recommends not taking discretionary review as there are no exceptional or extraordinary circumstances. and this concloud concludes my presentation and i'm available to answer questions. thank you. >> dr requester, are you prepared to make your presentation? you may need to hit star 6 in order to un-mute yourself. is the dr requester with us? is the project sponsor with us? >> this is the project sponsor. why don't you go ahead and start your presentation and we'll get your slides up in one second and i'll let you know when they're up. >> ok. >> your slides are up and you have five minutes.

following the three dr requests the project sponsor revised the project which including a one bedroom adu with the first floor as well as some alterations to the front facade in order to accommodate workouts from the planning department. on june 26th, 2019, signing staff issued preliminary mitigate negative declaration.

dr. birx has requested all florida residents 40 and under that have been to a gathering in the last fourks to get tested. tell us about the focus now, the concern about young people more getting infected and being a nexus for spreading this infe infecti infection. >> thank you for the question. recent data has shown that the most avid super spreaders are young people and children. we used to think that wasn't true. now people have done the studies. so young people are the majority of the super spreaders. they can infect very large numbers of people. the second thing to know is recent studies have shown even though somebody may feel entirely well, if you do a chest x-ray, up to 60% have ground glass capacities in their lungs. that means they're not very well. i talked before about the wounded. there may be long-term health consequences, a little like spo smoking when you're young, you get it when you're older. not only are a lot of people getting sick, but they are inflicting long-term damage as well as infecting their friends, their families, and the whole society. this is not healthy fo

dr. anthony fauci are being blocked by the white house. they're not granting interview requests for dr. fauci and some of the others on the coronavirus task force. what does that do when the public can't hear from experts like dr. fauci in this country? >> well, ideally, americans are listening to their doctors. ideally they're listening to some of their state officials who oftentimes do have different messages from this white house where they are encouraging people to wear masks. there is the mandate now in texas. ideally that's what's going on because we know this president doesn't want any of the real science and the scientists to be front and center in terms of talking about this covid disaster. this president has been derelict in his duty in terms of really informing the public in a healthy way so that's why we see, in many ways, particularly his followers, following his lead. not social distancing, gathering in these large crowds, not wearing masks, seeing mask wearing as weak or politically correct. that's been a disaster in the country and we can see that in the rates going up o

this testing must be done on the day requested. dr. colfax said the health order is in response to the backlog of testing. he said it is not just impacting elder residents. >> at san francisco general hospital, the average age of the person hospitalized with covid-19 since july 1st has been 41 years. >> reporter: mayor breed said if the state adds more watch list restrictions, the city will follow them. >> we have a small window of time right now to get our cases you understand control. >> reporter: in san francisco, melanie woodrow, abc7 news. >> the only bay area county that is not on the state's watch list is san mateo county. that might not last much longer though. cases and hospitalization numbers are approaching the watch list threshold there. we spoke with the county supervisor. >> people aren't wearing their masks and that's why the virus is spreading and people are becoming complacent. >> the supervisor said the numbers don't tell the full story. they want to talk to state officials first. they said testing is most focused on

we have been requesting dr.denied by the white house. in that time, stephen, the number of deaths increased over 100,000. it's unclear -- >> stephen: we've tried to talk to him and i can understand them not allowing him to come on this clown show, but have they given you a rationale as to why he is not going on the evening news broadcast? >> they say he's unavailable. the most recent poll say 67% of americans trust dr. fauci and 24% of americans trust the president when it comes to the virus. so i think that's the sense that they don't want fauci disagreeing with the president, but, look, we want to know -- he's the head of the n.i.h. infectious disease unit and in charge of vaccines. we want to know what's the status. as a mother, i'd like to know should we be sending our kids back to school in the fall, how do we do it safely? so many questions as someone headed up by a government agency, funded by taxpayer dollars, the knowledge that this man who served five presidents can impart to the american public is inc
