he got a bulk exception which isn't before you, but he got a bulk exception so he didn't have to step back at the third and fourth story away from the courtyard to allow light and sun and now he's asking for variance because his building and lot and print is so big and therefore he doesn't have room on the largest lot on the district to put a complying courtyard or to comply with window exposure and sunlight which is going to affect the eight 8 units that are there. the standards of the code are there because the city wishes there to be adequate light and space and open space and so on and there isn't here. this also is another picture which if you can -- i don't know, can you circulate these. this is a picture of the existing building and the buildings around it where you can see the scales of them. the roof line and they are on much larger or smaller lot. what is here is a hardship. what has happened is the sponsor took over or hasn't even purchased but the control from the unfortunate methodist. we have been told that church communities are sometimes seen as easy mark and obviously

vettel points out that it provides an exception to the exception. his exception says it can't bring that use to the second story if there is more than one user. on the first floor we have the masonic and live nation and "avatar". on the first industry we have the masonic, live nation and "avatar". based on all of these errors, the e ir cannot be quantified. what is expressed in the planning code for 27 years is going to be followed or will it be followed or over turned for one sponsor who is bringing unpermitted use not by following the rules but by using an exception to the rules. chiu president david chiu: thank you mr. wallace. thank you colleagues, any questions to mr. wallace? i have a couple questions to help frame the conversation because obviously as district supervisor i know a little bit about this project given all the appeals over the years. given that we've had a number of appeals and lawsuit, there are a lot of details that are confusing. we are talking about the mornings -- modernization of the masonic center. can you tell the number

if you are going to start making little exceptions here and there, i find there is exceptions for people who have connections to somebody in city hall or worse yet people who have connections with somebody who passed a check or give a new job. just look back to jimmy jan who worked for the planning department and you found forgery. they should be followed. president david chiu: next speaker? >> good afternoon. my name is barrett muo. a homeowner of knob hill for 18 years. the masonic auditorium is near my home. this isn't just an issue of one neighbor. it involves significant zoning planning and code rulings which will have an impact in this city and there are lots of them. i'm sure you are familiar with those in your own district. the powerful interest and large corporations to come into any district and use the mere influence over any special use districts. even those special use districts are supposed to take precedent over the more zoning districts as said earlier. the live nation reached with several neighborhood organizations. when they could not present a compelling case to home o

nice exception. my bill would effectuate the recommendation of that task force and leave the records to the providers and say before going to the providers seeking the connections with a number, that if we go through the fisa court, we would get approval unless there was an emergency. there would be exceptions where you could go straight to the provider and get the information. if the court decides that was not a proper request, it would be expunged. that's what my bill would do it think it's consistent with what the task force recommended. host: what about the public advocate and the role they would play? a former judge of this secret court has weighed in and said if you put a public advocate person

then there is the exception to the rule what we're talking about is the exception is the vacancies claus. the president shall have power to fill all vacancies that may happen during the recess by granting commissions that shall expire by the end of the next session. it is not hard to imagine the paradigm case why do we need the exception to the rule? the paradigm cases along the lines of the senate is not around so the general is killed on the battlefield and the president needs to appoint somebody to fill his shoes there has to be a mechanism under circumstances like those in that is what they were imagining. that was the paradigm. not the only case but surely that was the paradigm case that motivated this clause. this is a case that constitutional law professors love because there is almost no doctrine about this. and that leaves us going back to first principles. we don't have supreme court opinions we have to go back to constitutional text and history and structure to figure out what this document means. so we dig into this tax to figure out what it means. as writer explained obama a

why do we need an exception to the rule of the paradigm case. thes around the lines of, senate is not around and some key, crucial general is killed on the battlefield and the president needs to appoint someone to fill his shoes and the senate is not around. there is not some mechanism under circumstances like those. that is what they were imagining , that is the paradigm case. that is not the only case but that is the paradigm case that motivated this clause. thatis is a case constitutional law professors will love. is reason is because there almost no doctrine about that. reporters said almost nothing about this. that leaves us going back to first principles. --n we don't have dr. doctrine to parse, we have to go structure context and and figure out what this document means. we dig into the text and try to figure out what it means. as roger explained, president obama made some appointments and early january, purportedly to use this recess appointments that these were valid figure that, and to out we have to parse the language of this clause, a

it is not in our constitution that he finds exceptional. it is not our work ethic that he finds exceptional. he just happens to live here. [indiscernible] [laughter] he is stuck with it. if america is not exceptional, then how is somebody like barack obama to explain america's success? are the most successful nation in all of human history, rock obama and the modern lib -- barack obama and the modern liberal has no defending this stupid ideology. given america is the most successful nation, the modern liberal has no choice but to believe we are the greatest injustice in human history. -- are sowhy vicious and lie about is your, explainse how do you tel aviv and the gaza strip? how do you ask lane symphony orchestras and the -- symphony orchestras and the ied? there's nothing journalists are allowed to report them so they both want peace. that is what the liberal journalist has to believe. otherwise, something is wrong with islam. if they both want peace, they just want to coexist, then why do the muslims murder jews children and blow up off

will the prime minister find except the cost of living is stretching families to breaking point? >> i except we are still recovering from the great recession that took 3000 pounds out of the typical family's income. but what we're seeing now is more people in work including in wales if we are seeing real wages now starting to rise. i think we can be confident yes, it's difficult, yes, it's still hard work but our economy has grown and we want that to be a recovery for everyone in our country. >> the number of people in receipt of the jobseeker's allowance fell 31% between november 2012 and november 2013. youth unemployment fell by even more impressive 40%. does the prime minister share my view that the government's long-term plan is already giving employers the confidence to get hiring again and? >> i'm grateful for what my honorable friend says because absolutely key part of a long-term economic plan is to see a growing number of people in work in our country. usage 1.2 million more people in work. private sector employment is up 64,000. they're still further to go, particularly

these recess appointments have been exceptional but they've also always been used. with regard to a bigger question of whether practicecrac practice creates precedence, the supreme court will decide when it decides yes and when it decides no on these sorts of questions. but the almost near anonymity that it's know. if the text is with you but historical practice is against you, well practice wins and the court took a gasp to that. i think in this case the answer is going to be no. >> so john, what happens? if as it sounds like the supreme court rules against the obama administration, what will change about the way government has been working up until now? >> i think you're going to see a completely new meaning of recess appointments clause. it's going to be narrowed substantially to the point that it's effectively not useable any more. where only in these narrow circumstances. really what matters more is how the senate will proceed and how the house will proceed. the consequences of elections will be bigger and the rules of the senate will be bigger. the one really
