i want to note that the dr requester in the dr application only proposed one concession to limit construction after 8:00 a.m. and the project sponsors agreed to this and to make sure that the construction is between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. and notifying their neighbors in advance. the dr requesters with the only one in the community that have complaints. this is a small community and that speaks to the overall support. the project is achieving the goal of making sdpo san francisco more friendly. the dr requester has not raised any enjoyed circumstances and i ask you approve this project. and the contractor are here if i have any questions for them >> thank you. calling speakers in support of the project sponsor (calling names) >> good afternoon, commissioners. i'm dr. frank mcglove. i've lived here 44 years. i'm speaking for neighbors who couldn't be here today. their jean of conquest court and others. we support the project of mr. and mrs. who sigh are excellent e excellent neighbors. their 16 the house houses and i have the mopping map to prove it. the project will maintain the architecture

and lastly there are 7 drs requesters. fortunately, this was one that was different and i'm forwarding i another dr application it's last year in inspection to the size and the height of the building, however, it also has a concern about the loss of affordability through the de facto to have the building and even though general plan. already so that concludes the housekeeping issues. i do lighten the project proposes a significantly alternated building and adding a dwelling unit developed at the top of the garage with a roof desk open space that would connect the toggle the rear lot. the connection would be located partially below grade and add 9 and a half feet to the height of the building and square footage. the primary dwelling will have 29 hundred square feet in total after the project and there will be a secondary unit. the project requires a rear yard desk between the structures. and the project was originally noticed to the public as a project that is paramount to the demolition. once again referring to the overhead

dr. requester? >>> good afternoon commissioners. i represent my mother. she is the current owner of 23 allison street and the filer of the dr.. we respectfully objected to this project basically for three reasons. the first objection was the light issue. as it stands right now with the vertical addition to make the subject property a 3 story, it will effectively cut the light we estimate 50-70 percent to mid-fall a month. that's basically -- let me just backtrack. we made that concern felt in the dr. subsequent to that, the project was changed to incorporate a light well. now, the reason why we appreciate the addition of the light well, we do not feel it's going to mitigate any of our concerns first of all because there is an existing light well there already. and it basically incorporates the second story bathroom and the first story bathroom. the difference in light between the 2 stories of my mother's house is about 70 percent. i measured that by taking a light meter reading. and just by that factor, we don't feel the addition of projects light well wil

fell in love with is beginning to disappear and what is happening --. >> ma'am, i'm sorry but the dr requested time is up. that's 15 minutes. >> thank you for your time. >> thank you. so now speakers in favor of the dr there are any speakers in favor of the dr who are not --. >> that are not part of the dr requesting team? >> speakers who are opposed to the project. >> hello, thank you for this opportunity to speak and i'd like to thank michael smith for acknowledging my letter that i sent to him. my name is gary narimore, i have lived in san francisco, worked in san francisco for 4 years. i have lived in this neighborhood for 20 years. i have walked lampson lane and all the blocks around my neighborhood almost daily, i have enjoyed watching construction and remodels in the neighborhood and was pleasantly surprised and pleased with the tastefulness that's been done to date. when i saw the scope of this project and this huge box that was going to replace what is currently there, it was just unimaginable to me. i'm not objecting to the addition of a second unit, i think i'm all for -- i'm not an

the dr request was filled by peter who resides in a two-story building diagonally cross the street from the subject prop point public position was summarized in the staff report we've since that time, have received many additional public comment and in summary i'll give you the total including the comments received from the pass week that includes both letters and signatures the total being 20 in support of project and 22 in opposition to the promise. the dr requesters and neighborhoods concerns with summarized as follows there's a feel that the existing neighborhood character a single-family in nature and a second dwelling opt would be inconsistently with the neighborhood character. others feel the size the significant building is inadequate were multiple unit and that the addition of a second opt would bring additional parking congestion. it that the loss of the single-family how did would result in one affordable single family houses that's contributing to families leaving even though cities. the second unit would set a precedent to convert others in the neighborhood and the addition

if not dr requester you have a two minute rebuttal >> in a period of seven years how many home construction is reasonable. their propping another year of construction this is an assessable amount of time. the house is a full time hobby. there's no support for the proposal. the sponsors have executed several large projects and some people have had enough. this proposed project is not consistent with the homes in the neighborhood. we can't speak for the other neighbors but neighbors came to us complaining about another project and hypocritical they are spearheading the projects in the neighborhood. many feel this process given there was no notice on the merging housing unit so why waste their 7, 8, 9 coming down here. when we tried to execute an capitalization of our home the sponsors of the current sponsors said go buy one somewhere else in the city. they calibrated flyers and this wasn't neighborly. despite this we still had 6 out of 16 neighbors in support speaker we have two children and 3 sets of grandparents that's spending the majority of their time in san francisco. they've begin not

dr. requester you have a 2-minute rebuttal. either you or your mother can speak. >> you can split up the 2 minutes anyway you like. >> excellent, thank you. regarding to what the architect was talking about with the sun rising from the east to the west, unfortunately astro if physics has not been repealed. during the winter months, the sun is to the south of us and during the -- summer most and most of the fall spring months is to the north of us so it does affect the light well. thank you. >> good afternoon, my name is -- the owner of 23 allison street. i have lived there for 53 years. i love my house. spending many hours in the yard gardening and planting vegetables and fruits. the 15 allison has only moved to the property for a year. he wants to make big changes to his property. that will -- my life. his project will block light to my house. i understand that the builder want to make a profit, but that profit will come at my family's expense. my husband would have liked to attend this meeting, but he could not attend because

okay, seeing none, the dr requester has a two-minute rebuttal. >> is the light on? this is very simple issue. it's really about the topography of 19th street. this is what we currently enjoy right now on 19th street, an uninterrupted pattern of descending roof tops that go down and follow the grade of the street. this house is going to pop out of that topography. many of the other people who have spoken just now are taking pictures from the rear of the building. that's an alleyway that people go to for the garages and so forth, it's not 19th street. 19th street is the public part that people are going to see. i have not heard the sponsor counter how this is going to not disrupt the topography and that's really a very crucial issue for us, it's going to really change the profile of 19th street forever. also they are taking, they are using, they are trying to qualify, this is a corner lot to give them license to build a gigantic structure that's deserving of a corner lot. lampson lane is not castro street. lampson lane is an extremely narrow alley and i don't think it

it's clarptd for us and that they review the what's been submitted by the project sponsor or the dr requester in the case of dr that it is unsatisfactory what we're asking for. i'm fine with this assuming we'll get the instructions created by reference. we don't have to spell that out. i'll move to approve those changes >> commissioner antonini before you do the city attorney has a few minor changes. so appendix a section a for submittals the third paragraph the city attorney is recommending that the correspondence must include a copy to the commission secretary striking cc and the fourth paragraph the briefs to be included in the packet forward to the mragsz and striking would like to be a part of. in the fifth paragraph the guidelines shall be recyclely - strictly enforced. and under section 3 subsection by the opposing opposition not to exceed 3 minutes the city attorney wants the block is to reduce the number of overall speakers who are part of opposition striking the similar concerns. under section g for about sequa appeals. the addition of sequa appeals of negative declaration is recomm

dr. requester, i hear your concern but to the scope of the type of project we see, the addition doesn't seem to be extraordinary or exceptional to me. i'm in support of taking dr.. commissioner sugaya? >> >>commissioner hisashi sugaya: yes, i have a concern about the floor flan on the ground level. it looks like it could be converted very easily. i'm going to make a motion to take dr. with a note of special consideration that this is a single family dwelling. >> second. >> commissioner moore? >>commissioner kathrin moore: i think i'm in support of what commissioner sugaya is saying. i want clarification on the first floor of the hall means that it is basically a space and a column and leads to what is described as an office which has all the makings of a bedroom because normally in an office you might have a sink, you could have a toilet but you don't have a bathtub nor a closet. not in that arrangement. i think the restriction would be important and otherwise i don't think the size of the expansion is of any excessive size. that's why i don't think we can only basically do what commissioner

dr. jill biden's office. her presence was requested at the state of the union. >> let me start over. bloodching may be in her but there is plenty of adrenaline too. the d.c. teacher of the year will be sitting at the first lady section. >> it is important because kids worlds open up when they know how to read. gets to bend the president year, she wants him to make a commitment as well. preschool and pre-k. >> a push for more full-time hiring. >> i think every child in america deserves to have a full-time librarian, our teacher. >> education would be more than a significant mention for the president. other guests give us insight into other themes. jason collins, an openly gay basketball player. two survivors of the boston marathon bombing. all sitting along this enduring educator. economic equality may be the president's biggest push as he promotes to shrink the overall poverty numbers and this will be a chance for the president to hit the reset button after many critics argue was a lackluster 2013 or major legislation. i guess the tune we should sing is "baby it is cold outside." the

i noted there's a request for 3-d reverend it's entirely unclear is that a requirement on the project sponsor or the dr folks if its on both why is the requester has accurate information to do accurate collaborations and modeling to provide inaccurate information. i'm not an expert but i have a sense of fear of data that's being use i think it's interesting before this is approved >> thank you. >> any public comment on this item? on rules and regulations? soak seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioner sugaya oh, no, no, no. >> it's not about rules per say but about the use of the word 10 days is it you were interpreter or interpreted to mean calendar or working days in article 5. >> i interpret those to be calendar days. >> okay. >> commissioner moore. >> i like to say i would have hoped that the rules as their september to us today and if they indeed annoyance the different commissioners comments for the sake of this discussion would have been identified. it's unclear what the basis is for the rules. i've not received any comments from my fellow commissioners that recycle 0 r talk about the

dr. kerr's comment informative. my organization files for requests and record requests with the state and think there is a difference between a document, however frustratingly redacted and no document at all. with that said, i can understand that that determination was made in good faith by the commission in applying what they understood to be the standard. >> mr. givner? >> just jumping in and following on what i said earlier. mr. st. croix is right. and in that the city, when we such a sunshine complaint, the department is not required to produce page after page of entire redacted information. but if there is substantive information in the document, and can be revealed with minor -- released with minor redactions, that is when we would suggest redacting. so there is a fair amount of judgment in that. and that goes to commissioner studley's point. >> we are not -- are we prohibited from releasing a document with no substance? >> i think when this document is produced, in my view it would fall on the end of the redactions that i would categorize as so severe as to be virtually encompassing the entire document. becau

. >> reporter: a spokesman for kentucky children's declined our request for another interview with dr. karpf referring us to their press release about the report. we went to talk to dr. karpf ourselves as he was arriving to speak at a community center. can you tell us why these babies died after having surgery at your hospital. sir, can you give these parents some answers? >> unfortunately, children die from heart surgeries at other places, too. >> reporter: that's true. but other hospitals are far more transparent. they report how many babies died, kentucky children's won't say. >> can you explain why so many babies died after having heart surgery at your hospital? >> we explained to you that our mortality fit the national standards. >> reporter: at his hospital in 2012, after heart surgeries, children were dying at an alarming rate of 7. 1%. that's more than double the national average of 3.2%. and when it comes to how well his hospital performed specific heart surgeries on children, dr. karpf won't say. at other hospitals you can find that detailed information right on their websit

dr. collin owns one of the properties since 2010. the hoa is requesting the space of a kind desk it was originally moved because the desk leaked and it was initialed the permit through the department. the hoa has fully coordinated to make sure that the plan submitted were put back and applies with anything that the planning department requires. we don't understand why the - you know, we don't understand the reason for why that the desk should be held up so hopefully it will continue >> thank you. tere teresa. oh, i'm sorry thank you very much and john truman. >> good morning, commissioners. my name is john i'm an owner of the joint property on union street. i note that council for the 280 and 86 testimony doesn't dispute a single issue but dismisses them all as

requested any public comment? after that >> there are no speaker cards. >> no speaker cards. >> dr. jack jackson do you have a comment on the infrastructure. because i'll take that comment >> dr. jackson. when you talk about infrastructure i was at a meeting at city planning two or three days ago and all of a sudden puc comes up about getting properties to bill. when we and nothing was mentioned about the infrastructure part of that was done at 18 hundred oakdale. my understanding in going to meeting is that sun born where they rode the plants and things at they haven't been able to do the job in the community. out of all the numbers i hear about jobs i want to know how many of those jobs have gone to zip code 92424. because most of the people that come into my community don't live there that they make decisions but don't live there. they don't know about the structure of the community. i want you all to be cautious, you know, about all the things you're not aware of what goes on, you know, into hunters point shipyard and we're another a dangerous level i hope you take into account
