shows an existing garage and storage room, neither of which existed. and permit application 2014-08194202 shows a scope of excavation to rebuild retaining walls at rear yard. site conditions were not clearly illustrated on the architectural drawings. retaining walls were substantially higher than the section on the drawing shows, approximately ten-foot-high walls are in place at this time, and originally, there were -- they seemed to be about 3 feet in height according to the drawings. so they -- the walls are substantially taller than what the drawings show. site inspections and findings at 214 states street, multiple site visits have occurred at the site since the first complaint was filed back in 2013. a notice of violation, 2014-12792 was issued based on-site investigation for exceeding the scope of building permits and for misrepresentation of existing conditions. an additional notice of violation, 2017-8573 was issued for vacant building, and that was issued in january of 2017. the adjacent property at 126 museum way was impacted by undermining a

it should say, buildable area of existing lot, instead of built envelope or buildable area of existing building. also, i heard comments about how we're allowing the expansion of a.d.u.s within the buildable envelope without neighborhood notification. that's not true. i wanted to clarify that. and when it comes to filling in and creep eighting a.d.u.s underneath cantelevered rooms and/or decks into required rear yard, i will make that at the full board that there will be a mandatory pre-app. none of the things contained in the legislation completely eliminates neighborhood notification. and if planning staff want to clarify any of that, feel free to. also, again, i think i was -- marcel spoke to the tenant issues and removal of potential storage space, laundry space, parking space. i would be very interested to see the outcome of the new, internal process. it's really important. it's not something that you will see in this legislation, but i'm glad to hear that a new process has been implemented. with that, supervisor safai? >> supervisor safai: thank you, chair tang. i want to clarify

the view, the existing view from the existing deck is where this photo was taken from. you can see their rear yard. that is an existing situation. we are not exacerbating either. regarding light the only increase in shade of the addition is the roof of the adjacent building and a somewhat shade to the light over ms. miss murray's home. our design includes the light while adjacent to hers in order to mitigate that impact. the views -- >> president hillis: thank you, your time is up. you will have a two minute rebuttal. >> can i have my two minutes now? >> so if there is any public comment in support of the project, please come up now. no. ok. >> president hillis: you have to do within the five minutes or this two minute rebuttal. >> since the d.r. requester is not here to rebut, and there is no one to comment, i think you can come up and give your two minute rebuttal. >> i have one more thing to say about the views. there is negligible effect of the views. this is a submittal by the neighbor below who scent in a comment to the commission and you can see this is the view

it would take away the protections for people with pre-existing conditions. they made it their mission over the course of the last seven years to try to destroy the affordable care act. they have essentially retain the legislature anretainedthe legisn put before this congress on aio variety of occasions to try to replace the affordable care act with something that provides no productions for people with these illnesses come up the federalist society is in this gamgame two of trying to to of e affordable care act. the 24 other federalist society members signed and filed amicus briefs in support of this attack against the affordable care act and protections for pre-existing conditions.an so they decided the heritage foundation could federalist society in the business of trying to take away the protections for people with pre-existing conditions from the beginning of this fight. so, when you outsource to those groups, you know what you are going to get. you are going to get a justice who is goingre to vote to unwind these protections. and you don't have too do t

it should say, buildable area of existing lot, instead of built envelope or buildable area of existinguilding. also, i heard comments about how we're allowing the expansion of a.d.u.s within the buildable envelope without neighborhood notification. that's not true. i wanted to clarify that. and when it comes to filling in and creep eighting a.d.u.s underneath cantelevered rooms and/or decks into required rear yard, i will make that at the full board that there will be

walkway to the existing deck over the other structure. so that was the reason why, although the complaint was originally abated, in june and january of 2017, the complaint was re-opened based on the information found in the permit history to not be completely water-tight. so what is now being proposed, and these revisions have been filed with planning, is a new deck configuration complying with planning code but also requesting a variance for the new rear stair at the back of the lot so that they can have access to the existing roof deck. >> and they are removing the -- >> the walkway. >> the walkway. >> i can show you again, the existing conditions. with the walkway in place. and the current proposal which has been reviewed and vetted by our planner, jeff horn and ardat. removal of the walkway, different deck configuration and a new stair from grade up to the existing roof deck. >> any questions, commissioners? public comment? >> let's see if i can help here in this process. somewhere in the 60's this walkway was built. aerial -- >> can

a lot of people don't even know this part of town exists. i grew up about one mile or so away and went to high school behind here. this is a -- by far, definition of an opportunity site, very large shopping center, surrounded by a very large parking lot. i'm also going to be excited to hear later on the road what is expecting with the existing movie theater. there is a movie theater behind this mall. so hopefully down the road, something will be done with that lot as well. very excited to see this today and very in favor in as much bulk as possible here. >> vice president melgar: commissioner fong. >> commissioner fong: i share the same thoughts. it's a creative step forward to put a theater in macy's building it's a tremendous parking lot that maybe doesn't need to be a parking lot in the future and maybe some development or opportunity there, whether it's housing or job creation is something to study. we got an article from san francisco state. if you haven't looked at their study, it's a great opportunity to see how the projects fold toge

one out of four people have a pre-existing condition. i'm looking out at all of you and me be eve maybe even more tt have a pre-existing condition so the fact is they've been making a decision. donald trump decided he will not defend the affordable care act into nevada, he said i basically gutted it. that's the direction he's going. so, a little over a year ago as some of you know i was diagnosed with cancer and thankfully i had insurance. i didn't know how i was goin i o afford the care i needed so i joined the millions in our country with pre-existing conditions, diabetes, asthma, cancer. i would say if the case prevails, people with a condition like mine will not get coverage or it will be so expensive to. the fact that those of us have said on this committee have to listen to all of those who sit there and can'sitsthere and cans whether or not they will abide by the cases such as roe v. wa wade, they just hide behind the idea that they can come before us and say we are going to support the president. that is total bs because when you

up to 130 nonelderly americans have a pre-existing condition. a third of america, more than a third period for insurance companies that used to be the case that a condition as commonplace as asthma was justification for jacking up rates to unaffordable levels. the law was rewrote to prevent that from insurance company is on the chopping block, likely to go if judge cavanaugh becomes justice cavanaugh. how can we afford that? the american people should have their eyes wide open to the stakes. president trump's own justice department is currently arguing in court that those protections are unconstitutional. i like president trump at one of his rallies to tell the people at the rally he is taking away their protections when they have someone with a pre-existing condition and their family. he wouldn't dare, but that is what is legal department in hhs injustice is doing. the president doesn't tell people what he's doing. he whispers them with you. he doesn't dare tell the american people and that's why it's our job in the minorities , it's our job to

eviction loophole that exists in the legalization program. so the recommendation is to remove the prohibition and legalization for no-fault evictions have occurred and amend the planning code and ordinance to clarify that it applies in authorized units and, two, to require the units to be offered to previous tenants evicted, similar to provisions for capital improvements and owner-moving evictions that exists. that includes the recommended modifications from the planning commission. i'm here for any questions. thank you. >> supervisor tang: thank you very much and thank you, again, for all of your work on this. so i just wanted to summarize what the original proposed legislation was and what amendments i will propose today. you heard the planning commission's recommendations and some of the recommendations we're taking and some not. so i'm going to go off the order of the summary sheet i provided to colleagues, but number one, legislation proposed to eliminate street tree requirement to speed up the approval for a.d.u.s. we heard from a lot o

to protect pre-existing conditions and still get insurance. president trump had litmus tests. president trump had litmus tests. his rulings don't stop in those places. he has even argued that sitting presidents shurnt face criminal investigation. no investigation of a president. is it any wonder that president trump chose him from the list of 25 when we know he is obsessed with this investigation? he even said that a president doesn't have to follow a law if the president deems it, his words, unconstitutional. with this president, who has had so little respect for rule of law, who has shown he will roll over democratic norms, it's no wonder he chose judge kavanaugh whose views are more extreme than anyone else on that list. senator mcconnell told the president that there were other nominees that could have been confirmed more easily. why did he stick with him? because he's worried that mr. mueller will go to the court and ask that the president be subpoenaed and ask to do other things necessary to move the investigation forward and president trump knows that kavanaugh would pr

this legislation simplifies existing i.r.s. regular you layings and clarifies that direct primary care medical homes are qualified health expenses, medical services, and not a health plan. i personally questioned the i.r.s. ruling. we have debated with them, but we have lost that. we fix it with this legislation. as more individuals and employers seek to utilize the direct primary care delivery model, it is important that this important tax barrier not get in the way of patients accessing this successful model. the lemmings will allow plans to cover onsite employee clinics. think about the nursing stations that we have here in the house of representatives to provide that service. they can offer physical exams, over the counter drugs and testing, hearing and vision screening and other minor care services to help employees assemble a benefits package that is practical and give them a competitive edge. allowing employees to access this at work doesn't disrupt the work. it is better for them and the employer. . this allows individu

they did not exist. >> ok. i am coming back to what we did last week with the commissioner fontenot being here. i think, with the established pattern of abuse of the permit process, the legal system and the neighbors, i think doing anything differently than we did last week would be condoning this kind of behaviour, i am travelling towards what we did on 214 states last week which is put the house back the way it was before all of this legal work was done. make sure that it is code compliant and habitable so gets a cfc and let the new owner start fresh and negotiate with the neighbors with what they want to do to improve the property. that is where i am headed. >> this is a flashback from last week. i wanted to make a couple of points. i'm repeating myself from last week but a couple of commissioners weren't here. it dawned on something that clarifies a lot of things for me. i have spent a couple of decades working in my industry, construction industry and i spent 14 years out in the field working with the tool

i now join the millions of people in our country with pre-existing conditions. diabetes, asthma, cancer. i would say that if a texas case prevails of the supreme court, people with the condition of mine would either not get coverage or it will be so expensive humans will not have a so, the two organizations that have advance judge kevin i know where they stand. and those who sit on the committee have to listen and they can't even tell us if they will abide by several cases such as role as his way. they just hide behind this idea that they could come before as they were going to support the president. that is total bs. when you are on the supreme court you set precedents. that's what they did last week when they ended a 40 year precedent when they are did i union. this next nominee, judge kavanaugh is going to do exactly what heritage foundation and the federalist society expect him to do, especially in healthcare. is going to affect all of us. >> if you think about the fact pattern, this is a moment in history that should be alarming to us all. this is not a par

but also other existing stress units. some of the element of those stress units are also in here as thing the chief should look at in coming back to a proposal to what the perfect stress unit would look like. i have met more importantly with members who have had addictions and who have contemplated suicide. those are the members that i serve. the ones that we serve. it's undispute pated more than 20% of the membership of the average fire department including ours is suffering from some sort of traumatic stress. there was an article in the morning paper that quoted john christy, the former head of the stress unit here in san francisco retired, he stated during a weekly call, he had weekly call about 20 calls. think about that. that's 20 members of our department who's stress level had reached a point, a typically point where they actually picked up the phone and called the stress unit. this is an issue that over the years has a stigma of this job does, of hey, we are trained to solve problems. we go into people houses like

there are millions of people in our country who have pre-existing conditions. i am one of them. and we should be very concerned that this nominee has been vetted by the heritage foundation whose goal is to repeal the affordable care act and the protections it provides for all of us including the millions of us without pre-existing conditions and now we turn to cory booker new jersey. >> i look forward to standing with my colleagues and all americans and what will be the most important fight of our lifetime, there will be no greater and now with that i bring on my colleagues senator harris. >> you're a cool cucumber, corey . listen, if you are a young woman in america and you care about a young woman in america, pay close attention to this nominee. because kavanaugh has made his purpose clear. he told us that when he was on that list of 25. he has told us that in every decision he has made on choice and let's be clear what this is about. it's about government taking on the decision about a woman and what she does with her body instead of giving that woman the power to make the de

>> the fbi didn't know this tape existed. donald trump didn't know this tape existed. when they did the raid on michael cohen, what they were look fo looking for is evidence of your conversations with donald trump and his campaign and all records related to payments to women in the, you know, in the runup to the 2016 election to keep the stories quiet. and this is the perfect storm confluence of those two requests. here you have donald trump and michael cohen talking about payments to a woman who claimed an affair and trying to keep that story quiet. i think that super important to the fbi's investigation about campaign finance because if this was ultimately about the campaign, if they said on the tape, and we don't know this, they said on the tape it is really important we tamp this down for the next month before the election, then it is a campaign issue. and i think that is really important. >> real quick, matt. do you have any sense of why donald trump through michael cohen would even want to buy the rights to the story? ami, the parent company of the "national enqu

and it did the existing conditions and feasibility report in 2014. and, as i mentioned, the community-driven process is ongoing. we have funding in place from the transit center impact fees. it was approved by the board in 2010/'11 and it's been able to fund our planning. next, we have rec center in soma in a high-dense neighborhood which is expected to get even denser. it's right next to central soma plan. and the space is next to central soma plan and will serve existing residents as well as future expected residents in the area. it's critical to provide a safe, welcoming space in this neighborhood. the existing facility is really well-used and much beloved by the community, but it could be a much greater space serving more people and be more welcoming to the neighborhood. this area is also in an equity zone and has a poor facility condition index the new recreation space expands the footprint by 50%, allowing basketball courts, exercise room, outdoor basketball court and improved play areas. this is also an emerging staging site, so when there is

we will have the existing homes and old infrastructure. some of the flows coming and maybe left higher than we designed for. there will be a certain buildout that will need to be developed. flows will be lower at first. we may keep some of the tanks they are to use in case of an emergency, but once a development goes forward and we are comfortable we don't need to tankage, then we will demolish the existing plant and clean up the site and they will bring it up to elevation. and then they will hand over the site. you know, if we go with the wetlands maybe we will need expansion. may be we will need a courtyard. we haven't gotten that far. >> good. at the idea of the wetlands i think is a great one and i would certainly support working at the possibility of wetlands rather than just the affluent disposal into the bay, even though i know it is clean and treat it, but still, the idea that you can incorporate natural elements, i think is a really big one. i look forward with to your analysis and study at that the other question i have is with r

the resolution before you asks for a one-year extension to the existing tide dish contract. so that we can continue services without interruption. the increase in the contract was proposed to be $7.2 million, we're in agreement with the budget and legislative analyst recommendation to reduce that amount in line with current you're expenditures and what we project going forward for the next budget year. oca has approved a onetime full source waiver for the contract extension and this will allow the department to rfp out the services next year. with the rest of our permanent supportive housing portfolio. many of the projects as you know, we inherited from either the department of public health or the human services agency. those contracts and agreements had bearing expiration dates and that will allow a comprehensive rfp process. that concludes my remarks. if you have questions, i'm happy to answer. thank you. >> supervisor kim: thank you. i just want to note that hsh has state thad they were not able to take on the competitive rfp process because of staffing. i just wanted to

because i mean, i know the thing you're calling the invisible enemy should not exist.ne? you're only on about number 800 of 8000, i think. it's a lifetime task. that will outlive me and my studio. that's kind of the point, to show that history can't be fully reconstructed and we can't do it without everyone being involved in it. there're a community that has arisen, like i said, of people who talk about 3—d printing and there are conversations to be had there, but i also don't want it to be simply something that is fetishising only the artefacts, that like oh, we can just rebuild palmyra. but like you said earlier, you can't bring khaled al—asaad, this amazing archaeologist that protected not only the... he was the 82—year—old archaeologist who was actually executed... a tragedy, tragic. ..by daesh on the site of his own pride and joy — which was safeguarding, being the guardian of palmyra. he wouldn't give up the location of certain items and he wouldn't give up the location of certain people. this is somebody who understood what was happening. when books burn, people

yet let me show you how the universe came into existence. well. we are where the universe doesn't exist yet from a physics point of view we are absolutely nowhere according to theory at this point there are snipers space nor time and certainly no. matter. physicists can calculate what happened right after the big bang but we know nothing about the moment the big bang happened so we don't know why the universe came about. to be honest we have no idea. does that mean there might have been another universe before the big bang. it is certainly conceivable maybe there are even other universes parallel to ours ones that might also contain life. but this is just speculation there's no proof. although it sounds absurd most physicists assume that the universe rose out of nothing there's no such thing as before the big bang and no such thing as beyond the universe with the big bang this is what came into existence. but it's so tiny according to our calculations in the beginning the universe was so small that billions of them could fit inside an atom w

why not they were just going to uphold existing law. you can have your debates with us about a lot of other issues but my god, why is there any uncertainty at all? >> of course we are upholding existing law in the position of the attorney general is the position as to what the existing law is in the statute and before the court, but the policy position of the administration is that in whatever framework we have around the individual markets we support solutions to prevent to ensure people with pre-existing conditions have access toh affordable insurance and we workre with congress. the affordable care act, if those provisions are found to be invalid we will work with congress to continue the efforts to find alternative way to provide alternative insurance. >> it sounds like a lot of legal mumbo-jumbo. why not make it clear that the policy. >> we are country of law we follow the law. my policy preferences and become law. >> you can get to the same outcome by saying we will ensure people have this protection. >> senator mccaskill and i th

we don't believe that the marina design will exacerbate the existing sal nation patterns that exist on the cove and with that we ask you to approve the project. >> president tsen: i will take comments from the public first. if there is anybody that would like to address the board come up now. >> my name is sunny allen and i want to say that i appreciate your time and i know all of this is very nuanced but i have prepared a short thing to read. i am speaking on behalf of pay area boaters and people who love votes who regularly come together to bring our boats together. we supported the resolution with some qualifications but two key parts were that in marina would have minimum impact on the existing uses of the cove and not endanger the grass beds. the report addressed the footprint of the marina but not the dredging, the developer's report calls for dredging a protected marine reserve and it's hard to imagine that will have no impact that on that marine sanctuary. sanctuary. if dredging disturbs that -- we ask the board to table this lease in a plan is in place to dredge the code to ma

it was a fraternity that allowed for less hyper- masculine existence. it was one where i was a little bit more safe to not put that performance on. in reality, i was performing every day. just being in those spaces with just men, that is where my homesickness would flare up the most. i would feel it the most because it was so clear to me in those moments in my heart and got like i was in that space because of who i was perceived to be and that's not who i am. this performance of gender question illustrates a broader universal nature which is to allow transgender people to live authentically, when we allow lgbtq people to live authentically the anti- lgbtq prejudice is prejudice around gender when we allow transgender people to exist as their authentic self without fear of violence or discrimination or stigma, we're helping to free everyone from the constraints of the gender stereotypes. whether you're at the gender person in the closet or if you're just not as hyper masculine as the spaces expected to be, were free and everyone. if you're a woman who do

the heart stems from an existing walkway constructed in the early 60's. though some permit history exists, no permit has been found for the structure in question. which connects the main house to a deck over the rear garage. the property owners purchased the home with the feature in place and no complaints were never filed for the first 50 plus years of use or the first three years of ownership of the home when the complainant was living next door. it was mentioned the previous owners didn't use the deck frequently so it wasn't a nuisance but when the new owners moved in it became more of an issue and became something of a focus. only after the filing -- [coughing] they have gone to great lengths, filed to legalize their existing deck and remove the walkway in question. so though initially the walkway was also proposed to be legalized, through discussions with planning and adjacent neighbors we are now proposing to remove the walkway which was the source of the original complaint. the permit was originally filed in 2014 and that permit has been modified o

the justice department will no withr defend people pre-existing medical conditions.that is in next ordinary step, goes against what the justice .epartment has done before i have been here for the last 17 nominations to the supreme court including every sitting member of the court. whether you consider roe versus wade or affordable haircut air -- health care amount voting rights, so much more, i have never seen so much at stake. republicans, who blocked chief john collins to the court we actually take our obligations seriously. my consento withhold for this nominee who seeks to law.se 45 years of settled who intends to strip away insurance protection for millions of americans, who sides with powerful hard-working americans, or anyone who believes and shares the president's belief the courts are the extension of the president's power not a check against it. the court aspiration after role is to provide equal justice under the law. what we feel and that is what this nominee has yet to prove. i see our leader here. i will yield. i want to thank our members of the judicia

he would make it far more difficult for regulations to exist to enforce those laws. here's the most amazing thing. sayas gone so far as to that a president doesn't need to follow the law if the "deems it unconstitutional." folks, here we have a president, president trump, who cares less aboutrule of law, less the restraints that every other president has felt put in place by the constitution and the norms have left this great country for 200 years and we are going to put someone on the bench someone who said if this president deems some law unconstitutional, he doesn't have to follow it. how many americans think the president would be judicious and limited in doing that? it is not the president i have seen over the last year and a half. oh no. an analysis of professor epstein of the washington university of st. louis found that judge kavanaugh would be the second most conservative justice on the court, to the right of judge gorsuch and second only to justice thomas. this is the most conservative yearswe have had in 80-90 , since the 1930's at a very minimum. thaty to

when it comes to pre-existing conditions. this is definitely an issue we see play out in the midterms and possibly it is an important one. because there is that democrats across the country, health care is the number one issue for democrats as a vote. host: talk about the time between the aca and the supreme court nominee? guest: now that the affordable care act individual mandate was repealed last year, texas and other conservative states are arguing that because there is no tax that can overturn the affordable care act in its entirety -- the trump administration says they are now not overturning it in entirety the community- rating issues as they are known in the law. it iss a case that -- unsure how far it could go. whether he gets off the ground at all. but it is a case that likely will wind up before the supreme court. onocrats are really focusing andexisting conditions protections, popular across the board with democrats in the aca. it could be going before the supreme court. so they argue that will be a key issue with

rather it is a reconfiguration with existing plan. that theme of reconfiguration continues throughout the project as the different program elements such as the parks and open space plan and then updated is to match the new street grid and land uses while providing the same level or more in amenities recreation and mix of activities. similarly for the transportation plan, the phasing has been updated to match the new streed grid along with improved pedestrian and bicycle routes, the potential for water taxi, and an increased commitment to monitoring traffic and transit. here's another view to show the updated bike and pedestrians plan, providing that needed connection into and within the shipyard site. the amendments to the redevelopment plan also allow for the potential for what we're calling the eco district by defining some future infrastructure categories that could lead to a green energy program like recycled water treatment facility, geothermal heating and cooling. outreach to the community as well as to number of city department
